During the May Fourth period,the idea of "children's standard" was put forward,and the individual status and value of children were concerned.With the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the influence of foreign realist children's literature,the writers faced the dramatic increase in the number of street children in the first time through the works to reflect,forming the "wandering children" literature during the Anti-Japanese War.On the one hand,the work expresses the sympathy and love for the street children,on the other hand,through the wandering and growing experience of the wandering children in the works,the Chinese nation in times of crisis is hopeful and guiding,and gathers the power of the rescue.Revolutionary and patriotic has become a prominent feature of the children's literature of the anti-Japanese war.The "Wandering Children" literature during the Anti-Japanese War more fully showed the fate of the street children.In the motivation to leave,there are two types of active wandering based on survival and active wandering;the different motives and encounters bring different physical and mental changes to street children: they grow into “awakening people” in war disasters,or Unbearable stress and insanity become the “missing person” who lost self,and the “lost person” who abandoned the conscience in exchange for fame and fortune.Therefore,the “destination” of street children ends with the destruction of the body,or “rebirth” in the sublimation of the spirit – plunging into the struggle of the nation-state and embarking on the road to revolution.Otherwise,street children will be diverted from the national nationality and will fall towards the fall of their own soul.The writers pay attention to children,and put the patriotism and the spirit of the anti-Japanese war into the "children's heart" with children as the future of the country.By the thought of the children of street children,the final destination of the street children becomes the parable of the survival of the nation.Corresponding to the theme of the intersection of children's "children's heart" and "patriotism",the style of street children is based on the principle of realism and supplemented by the special expressions of each style.The literary genre of street children during the Anti-Japanese War included novels,fairy tales,children's plays,comic strips and many other styles.The novels and fairy tales focus on the inner world of stray children,symbolic techniques make the image of street children have realistic meaning,and the adventure experience reveals the darkness of society and the narrative structure of stray children.The realistic appearance of typical environment reflects the children of street children.Life is not easy.Through the influence of the original family education on street children,the differences in character between rural street children and urban street children,the loss of individual status of street children caused by adult clothing,and the adult language and behavior of street children enrich the characters.The children's play reveals a typical character through concentrated dramatic conflicts.The comic book represents the depiction of the meticulous facial expression through the form of pictures in the "San Mao Liu Lang Ji" highlighting the inner world of the character,the vivid external form depicting the visual sense of the character and the character of the plot reversing and enriching the character.During the Anti-Japanese War,the children's literature reflected the current situation of the times through children's perspectives,examined the dangers of war,and exposed the image of the street children to expose the darkness of society.However,the utilitarian appeal of literature blurs the boundary between children and adults.The deviation of the tendency for "life",the weakening of the consciousness of "children's standard" and the tendency of adultization make the awakening of the personal consciousness of street children conform to the national conditions,revolutionary roads and dedication.Sacrifice is the ultimate goal.In the comparative analysis of the "Wandering Children" literature at the same time,the characteristics and limitations of the stray children's literature during the Chinese Anti-Japanese War can be seen.
