When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) first resolved to wage the "Resisting America and Assisting Korea" (RAAK) campaign, lack of acquaintance with or a negative perception of North Korea among the Chinese populace constituted the biggest impediment to social mobilization for the war effort. Therefore the CCP used literature and art as propaganda tools to shape politics, ideology,, and the collective will in favor of the RAAK war. By accentuating the relationship between China and North Korea as being as close as that of "lips and teeth," RAAK literature reaffirmed the importance of assisting North Korea. Moreover, the technique of binary opposition was employed in a narrative of North Koreans and North Korean society versus South Koreans and South Korean society, reshaping the Chinese perception of the Korean peninsula in the early 1950s.
