Viewing the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression through the Pens of Literary Figures: In 1938, the poet W. H. Auden and writer Christopher Isherwood traveled together to China, witnessing the realities of the war zones during the initial outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Their observations and heartfelt reflections were collectively compiled into a work that blends documentary and poetry—"Journey to a War" (1939). The book uses Isherwood's travel diary as its narrative thread, incorporating explanations of 63 images and 27 sonnets by Auden, making it a significant piece of documentary literature.
