Chinese Northeast Writers Group

The Northeast Writers Group(simplified Chinese: 东北作家群; traditional Chinese: 東北作家群)was a significant literary group in modern Chinese history, emerging during the Manchukuo period, a puppet state established by Imperial Japan in Northeast China. This group comprised writers from the region who refused to acknowledge Manchukuo's secession from China. Faced with severe oppression and persecution by the Japanese, many of these authors fled to central Chinese provinces like Hebei and Henan. Their works predominantly expressed the profound sorrow of national subjugation and the suffering of the populace under occupation. A strong sense of patriotism and an anti-Japanese spirit permeated their writings, reflecting the dire circumstances of a lost homeland.[1]
