During 1932—1945, the Japanese invaders propped up a puppet state in northeastern China, that is, Manchukuo. During 14 years, the Japanese colonizers and Manchukuo authorities developed a set of “young citizens” training programs. In order to “educate” teenagers more efficiently, they started to launch publications controlled by the authorities. Under this circumstance, Manchukuo Pupils came into being. Investigating Manchukuo Pupils and some fairy tales issued by the journal, this thesis presents the phenomenon of “implanted fairy tales”, explores the colonist ’s expectation and imagination of “young citizens”, exposes their control of children’s readings, reveals their motivations for implanting elements of the “harmonious coexistence of five nationalities” and “a happy land with benevolent government” into fairy tales, and discusses their nature of using fairy tales to create a fictional paradise.
