Abstract: Dramas regarding Chinese war against Japanese aggression created by left-wing playwrights, through localized writing, build local awareness and arouse cultural memories of people in the occupied areas due to Japanese aggression. Therefore, cultural depictions and artistic refinement of urban life can be realized. Shanghai, the isolated island, and Chongqing (a city in Southwest China), the provisional capital of Republic China, served as spiritual fortresses during the war in the occupied areas and the home front respectively. The creation and show of the dramas related to the war in these two cities constructed a community of shared value on one hand. The creation and show were influenced by geographical factors and local cultural landscapes, which presented different perspectives on the other hand. Among them, the drama from the isolated island, which incorporates the traditional style of Shanghai, intrepidly and directly demonstrates the theme of spiritual motivation by immediately confronting the battlefield. By contrast, the drama of home front in the inland of Southwest China, influenced by multiple political forces and disputes of power discourse, tends to be more obscure in its expression.
