"Egret" was created on October 31, 1942, when it was the second stage of the Anti-Japanese War and Chiang Kai-shek launched the Second anti-climax. Guo Moruo was a member of the Communist Party of China at the time and served as the director of the Language and Culture Working Committee of the Kuomintang government. He carried out the resistance against Japan in a dual capacity.
He said: "China is currently the most literary era. The opposition between good and evil, loyalty and traitor is extremely clear. The beauty of human nature has developed to the extreme, and the evil of human nature has also developed to the extreme." Therefore, his essays of this period are titled Patriotism and anti-treason are the central content, praising the loyalty of patriots and exposing the evil deeds of traitors.
