A series of touching and grandeur images were established to reveal the violence by the Japanese army and sing the praise of the national heroes.

Since the founding of New China, the contemporary artists have attempted to show their strong responsibility and their sense of mission to the nation, the society and the history. The spirit and the history of the Anti-Japanese war have been maintained through the medium of the art and become one of the driving forces to advance the whole nation forward.
