This is the first comprehensive study of popular culture in twentieth-century China, and of its political impact during the Sino-Japanese War of 1937-1945 (known in China as 'The War of Resistance against Japan'). Chang-tai Hung shows in compelling detail how Chinese resisters used a variety of popular cultural forms - especially dramas, cartoons, and newspapers - to reach out to the rural audience and galvanize support for the war cause. While the Nationalists used popular culture as a patriotic tool, the Communists refashioned it into a socialist propaganda instrument, creating lively symbols of peasant heroes and joyful images of village life under their rule. In the end, Hung argues, the Communists' use of popular culture contributed to their victory in revolution.

和《新文化史與中國政治》一樣在文本分析和理論闡發上都略淺顯,對話劇、漫畫和報刊的分析,與戰爭、國統區邊區政治史的結閤也有點生硬,很多地方明明已經點齣瞭一個非常關鍵的闡釋角度,但往往戛然而止,讀得不是很痛快。
