From the beginning of the outbreak of Anti-Japanese War to the new century, the continuous writing of Chinese literature about the war has formed many fixed paradigm.Since entering the 1990 s, China’s Anti-Japanese War novels have a lot new changes compared with previous narrative due to the changes of era context and literature field.The variation of the diversification has taken place in the theme of the novel. The battle scenes in the novel have disappeared, avoid description of confrontation, and tend to be more private little world survives in wartime "reduction" of nature. Anti-war novels try to show the complete, real China Anti-Japanese War history, in the past, based on the "king"(victor) under the horizon of historical narrative of the war of resistance against Japan, to update and retell.There are also changes on the understanding of the war; it breaks through the singular national enemy and family feud theme with human nature and humanitarianism as the point of the penetration of reflection and criticism of the war, to evaluate the war from a whole new point. These novels also give lot thinking on the issue of "national character" due to the special situation of war, and reflect people’s spiritual substance and psychological structure from multi-angle.The characters images presented in these anti-war novels also various. It breaks the revolutionization, class and the profiling mould pattern, the hero character present a three-dimensional, diversified casting. At the same time, the bandits, prostitutes, Japanese and others kinds of image, also break through the past usual cognitive pattern and writing style,show the new artistic characteristics.But sometimes literary creation like two sides of a coin, on the one hand, the emergence of new literary forms have breakthrough and profound meaning than the past, on the other hand it also inevitably lost in biased negative quality. To write the daily causal things instead of war clears up aesthetic effect; for processing of banter to carnival, sexualized, romanticize writing ways in the war of resistance, the sacred war of resistance against Japan becomes a farce. Cruelty, hide in the name of humanity invaders that literature expresses the concept ofnation state by "castration". To meet readers’ consumption psychology and taste, keen on all kinds of non-mainstream character portrayal of the Anti-Japanese War literature texts also will be short-lived for lack of historical truth and depth.The future of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War literature into higher aesthetic position,need a writer very remorse, not mei fun evil, condensed staunch aesthetic concentration, sets up the classic consciousness; At the same time, consciously resist the charm of the national mood, with identification of thinking, the ability to distinguish between right and wrong; And actively establish a sense of "dialogue", in the war with the west literature reference and comparison, find out new ways to the Chinese Anti-Japanese War literature.
