"reporting to the superior （向上司汇报） " in the "unit （单位） ". Before the Cultural Revolution （文化大革命） , there were "air-raid shelters （防空洞） " everywhere, and young people were always allowed to participate in "military training （军训） ". It affects the imagination of the people. Of course, it also has an impact on literature and art. That is to say, the people in China have always been culturally mobilized by the mobilize (=state). This kind of war atmosphere and relics, as well as cultural mobilization, have always existed in many countries and regions (including South Korea, Taiwan) in East Asia. And it has not disappeared until now. Contemporary Chinese literature from the latter half of the 1930s to the Cultural Revolution did have the nature of contributing to a unified ideology, in other words, the characteristics of culture under the total war system. However, the nature of contemporary literature as above is not just a problem of Chinese culture, but a problem common to the whole world in an era. This perspective gives us another aspect of contemporary Chinese culture, and the conclusions that its thinking leads to are terrible. IV. W hat does the I mage of the P oster T ell U s? Please look at the two pictures first. One is a propaganda poster of the former Soviet Union called "Long Live the USSR Fatherland of the Workers of the Whole World" (1931) (Figure 1-1). It depicts the unity of working people worldwide and advocates that the hometown of revolution is former Soviet Union. The other is a Nazi propaganda poster, "Constraining Victory for the Front and the Rear" (1943, Gustav Klutsis) (Figure 1-2), which describes the unity of the working people of Germany and advocates all citizens to contribute to the war. The first picture called for a socialist world revolution, and the second one called for the contribution of the fascist war of aggression, which is completely ideologically opposed and polarized. But what they claim (that is, "To achieve their goals, all citizens are required to make contributions.") and the image of the picture is so similar. This is not limited to the artistic performance of the above-mentioned two authoritarian countries. At that time, the propaganda posters in Europe and the United States were similar. Regardless of the big differences in ideology, their ideological frameworks (that is, contributing to unitary goal or value) are very similar. As a result, their artistic performance is also very similar. This is a characteristic of the cultural performance of the total war period.
