With the rapid development of the Internet and new media, online public opinion shows the direction of diversified demands. Domestically, it has become more difficult for the official media to lead public opinion, and internationally, the work in the field of ideology is still complicated. The "unification" of public ideology is crucial in solving various social problems, such as the Taiwan issue, and in strengthening and improving the methods and approaches of social management. The Salvation Daily was a newspaper that came into being during the period of total resistance in the last century, and it was also a newspaper for the united front in the cultural sector. During its brief period of operation, the Daily Salvation Daily reached a daily circulation of 8,000 copies in its heyday, and its influence spread to Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Sichuan, and even Hong Kong and Nanyang. The Salvation Daily became one of the most influential progressive newspapers in the entire southwest region and played a significant role in promoting the "United Front" of the whole nation. This paper uses textual analysis to analyze the news texts and newspaper characteristics of the Salvation Daily during the war period, to explore the success of its "united front" propaganda and "national unity" consciousness, as well as its contribution to today's "united front" ideological work. The paper also discusses the success of its "United Front" propaganda and "national unity" awareness-raising work, as well as the inspiration it brings to the present-day "United Front" ideological work.
