In 1933, when a foreign friend interviewed, he asked Lu Xun this question: "In the current Chinese literary scene, who do you think is a proletarian writer?" ”
Lu Xun replied without hesitation: "Ding Ling, she is the only proletarian writer. ”
In the Literary Circle of China in the 20th century, Ding Ling was a special existence, her talent, her personality life, so that she was admired by thousands of people, thousands of people criticized.
Her vigorous life has a total of four emotions, threesomes, sister-brother love, which are touching the bottom line of traditional Chinese society at that time, which can be said to be jumping in the minefield.
What are the facts? How did these four men intersect with Ding Ling?
The most commemorative Hu is also frequent
Ding Ling, a native of Hunan, died of illness when she was 4 years old, and her mother took her and her brother back to live in her grandmother's house.
In her grandmother's house, she and her cousin grew up together, which can be regarded as a green plum bamboo horse, and when grandma saw that they got along well, she made the decision to set them a doll kiss.
But for Ding Ling, her cousin was just a playmate and a good friend, and for the first time she felt the taste of sending people under the fence at her uncle's house.
This discomfort was like a small seedling planted in her heart, and later when she went to school, she was exposed to more and more new ideas, and the seedlings in her heart grew bigger and bigger.
Especially the attitude of the uncle, if she does not obey the uncle's arrangement, the uncle will stop receiving their mother and daughter, and they will be homeless.
In 1921, her only brother died, but the whole family was accusing her of killing her brother, and even viciously asked Ding Ling why she did not die.
This made Ding Ling, who was still struggling and hesitating, have a rebellious mood, and she marched on the streets with her classmates, promoting new ideas everywhere, cutting off her braids, and keeping the heads of students, which is the most typical image of a progressive young woman in our impression.
Later, a classmate Wang Jianhong (later Qu Qiubai's girlfriend) introduced her to the situation in Shanghai, which made Ding Ling, who pursues freedom and wanton freedom, not be moved, she wants to go.
Fortunately, her mother is not a son-preference, and her mother supports her to break through the shackles and pursue her own life.
At this time, the uncle tried to force her with her cousin's affairs, how could she give in, so in a fit of anger, an article counting the uncle's crimes came out and was published in the Republic of China Daily.
This means that Ding Ling has completely broken with the family, but she does not regret it!
In 1924, Ding Ling came to Beijing, and she did not expect that her first relationship would come so quietly.
At a literary and artistic event, she met the young editor Hu Yepin, she had no feelings for this brother who was a year younger than herself, and she was still completely immersed in the sadness of his brother's death and her own uncertain future.
However, Hu Yepin carved Ding Ling into his heart, and he began to pursue Ding Ling in a clumsy but sincere way.
Filling a carton with roses, he put a confession slip in which it read: "A new brother."
Ding Ling did not like Hu Yepin at all at the moment, and did not know how to face this feeling, she wrote a letter to Lu Xun with the mentality of trying it out, wanting Lu Xun to give her guidance.
But at this time, Lu Xun was busy arguing with the modern commentators, there was no time, when he saw the letter, he subconsciously thought that the people of the modern commentators had deceived him under a pseudonym, so he ignored it and did not reply to the letter.
Ding Ling did not wait for the reply, her heart was even more confused, just when she was hesitating, the family of Wang Jianhong, a friend who came with her, was preparing to return to Hunan and invite her to join her, she did not know where to go, so she simply agreed.
However, after returning to Hunan, at the doorstep of her home, she saw her "younger brother" Hu Yepin, who had followed her here.
Hu Also Frequently smirked at Ding Ling, and Ding Ling knew that Hu Ye frequently even paid the rickshaw driver's money by his mother, really a stupid brother, Ding Ling thought in her heart, her love journey began.
Ding Ling is an advanced new woman, she does not care about the criticism and strange eyes of others, after returning to Beijing, she and Hu Yepin directly live in Xiangshan.
Hu Yepin was a responsible person, and when he said it, he was very good to Ding Ling, and at that time they had no source of income, so they lived on the meager fees they earned from writing, but they felt very happy.
During this period, Ding Ling published her own Virgo, and Ye Shengtao discovered her talents and published her novels one after another, making her a new star in the literary world.
After that, Hu Ye frequently went to shandong provincial high school to teach, and Ding Ling couldn't help but miss Hu Yepin and followed suit.
This time is their happiest day, Hu Also frequently teaches in school, Ding Ling takes care of children at home, they have a common hobby - writing, they also have common ideals, what a sincere feeling!
The most missed Feng Xuefeng
In 1928, this was a turning point, Ding Ling met Feng Xuefeng, the man who made her worry for a lifetime.
Ding Ling needed a Japanese teacher because she wanted to study in Japan, and under the introduction of a friend, she met Feng Xuefeng, a young literary and artistic youth.
At that time, Feng Xuefeng was studying Japanese at Peking University, so this time he was teaching Ding Ling Japanese.
Feng Xuefeng's appearance is not proud, Ding Ling is very disappointed at first glance, in her heart, even if the Peking University talent looks average, the temperament of reading should always have it, how this Feng Xuefeng is like a countryman.
But after they talked, Ding Ling found that their thoughts were quite compatible, so in Ding Ling's heart, she had different ideas about him.
Ding Ling fell in love with Feng Xuefeng, yes, she was a frank person, did not hide her love for Feng Xuefeng in the slightest, she said that he was the man she loved for the first time.
She said she herself was very much looking forward to hearing the man say "I love you."
Ding Ling was very open, she proposed the idea of living with two men, and the strange thing was that the two men agreed.
So during that time, in a house by the West Lake, two men and a woman lived strangely together.
Hu Yepin always felt that this atmosphere was too strange, it was simply appalling, could this last, he ran to Shen Congwen to complain, Shen Congwen said a lot of bitterly.
He suddenly understood, he knew that the relationship between the three of them would definitely not last long, so when he went back, he told the two of them to let Ding Ling choose one of them.
Ding Ling painfully chose Hu Yepin.
But it doesn't mean that she doesn't love Feng Xuefeng anymore, she and Feng Xuefeng say that the love between them is platonic love, even if she is not with him, the person she loves is also him.
Ding Ling is a woman who does not want to be bound by marriage, she does not feel that she and Hu Yefeng are married, and she defines their relationship as cohabitation.
Since this is the case, there is no constraint for Ding Ling to be with Hu Yefeng, anyway, it is just cohabitation for her, and her sense of responsibility for this relationship is not strong.
In 1931, Hu Was frequently arrested by the Kuomintang reactionaries, Ding Ling panicked, she said desperately in her diary: "It is dark, the lights in the house are on, but it is silent like a dead person, my child, he does not know anything, my child!" ”
She and Shen Congwen participated in the rescue, but the Kuomintang condition was that he surrender and live in Nanjing to be monitored, and Ding Ling knew that Hu would not agree.
Hu Also died under the clutches of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and Ding Ling herself swore: I want revenge!
It can be seen that Hu ye is frequent in her heart, even if there is no real love, it is also a existence that cannot be abandoned.
After Hu Yepin's death, she and Feng Xuefeng had contact again, Feng Xuefeng comforted her, and the fire of love between the two was ignited again.
Ding Ling wrote a long love letter to Hu Yepin, and he could not hide his extreme love for Feng Xuefeng between words, but Feng Xuefeng already had a family, and he took a cold approach.
He published Ding Ling's love letter in the magazine "Not Counting Love Letters" to commemorate their friendship.
For these two men, Ding Ling said:
"It is also the one I remember the most, and Xuefeng is the one I miss the most, and it is also the first man I love."
The most regrettable marriage
After Hu Yefeng's sacrifice, when the reporter Smedley interviewed Ding Ling, Ding Ling met the translator Feng Da.
At that time, Ding Ling was alone and lonely in her heart, and Feng Da often visited her, bought her things, and talked with her.
Slowly, Ding Ling also opened her heart to Feng Da, and the two got along with each other like friends, and began to live together in 1931.
For Feng Da, Ding Ling knows less, only a little about his simple family relationship.
Ding Ling described Feng Da as a stranger, "He has no light, no heat, and he doesn't attract me, he just works silently, but he takes care of me, cares about me, and we are like two familiar strangers." ”
The intersection between them is small and simple, and sometimes she and Feng Da go to see refugees in the disaster area, and Feng Da collects information for the news agency, and she writes the material she gets into the novel.
Although they live together, but do not hinder each other, Ding Ling in writing, Feng Da silently left, Feng Da at work, Ding Ling will also be busy with their own affairs.
"I told him I was hungry, he would go buy some vegetables and bread, make a simple meal, I would make some requests, he would try to satisfy me, slowly live, I can tolerate having such a person around me." 」
Their relationship is so simple, at best, they are respectful of each other.
One day in May 1933, when Feng Da went out, he told Ding Ling: "At 12 o'clock, if I don't come back, you will leave quickly." ”
Ding Ling didn't know what was happening, and at 11:30 a.m. she came home to get ready to pack up and leave.
When he was packing up his things, Pan Zi came over, he was the editor-in-chief of The Truth, and Ding Ling thought that he had something at work, so she rushed to clean up.
But suddenly a group of people came eagerly, listening to their panicked footsteps, Ding Ling intuitively felt that they were not good, and sure enough, as the footsteps got closer and closer, the door was kicked open with a "bang", and three strange men broke in.
Ding Ling and Pan ZiNian exchanged glances and instantly understood everything.
At this time, Feng Da came, he saw Ding Ling, obviously shocked, the expression on his face was obscure, silently walked to the bed and did it, his head was lowered, and he did not say a word.
Ding Ling glanced at him and slowly walked to the closet, wondering if Feng Da had betrayed them?
In order to take advantage of Ding Ling's fame in the literary and art circles, the Kuomintang reactionaries used various methods to do things for themselves.
Zhang Daofan, who was the director of the Central Propaganda Department at the time, asked Ding Ling three times, either to let Ding Ling write a script, or to let Ding Ling write an outline, and the third time was to let Ding Ling change the outline and script that had been written for them.
Ding Ling's attitude was: I will not write anything for your Kuomintang reactionaries.
Ding Ling was imprisoned, and there were many rumors in the outside world, the most famous of which was that Lu Xun wrote a poem "Mourning Ding Jun" for Ding Ling, and the last two sentences said:
Yao Ser condensed the dust and complained, and the poor girlless Yao GaoQiu.
He knew, was sure, and sure that Ding Ling would not turn herself in.
Ding Ling did not betray, but bent on death, she put her head into the sheath of the neck, kicked the stool down with one foot, Feng Da's eyes were fast, and she saved Ding Ling, who was unconscious.
Feng Da made a poisonous oath to Ding Ling that he had not betrayed her, and he did not know whether Ding Ling believed it, but he really could not bear to watch Ding Ling die like this.
In 1934, Ding Ling gave birth to a child in prison and named jiang Zuhui.
After that, she resolutely left Feng Da, and the two never saw each other again.
Back in Yan'an, Ding Ling explained everything to the party organization, and Zhou Enlai and other comrades believed that Ding Ling had not betrayed the party.
Zhou Enlai even comforted Ding Ling: "You originally had a husband and wife relationship, which is nothing." ”
In 1940, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China conducted a review of Ding Ling and determined that she was still a loyal Communist Party member.
Sister-brother love - half a lifetime of mutual love
In Yan'an, Ding Ling, a well-known writer, received cordial reception from Chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai, Zhang Wentian, and others.
They held a special welcome party for Ding Ling, and Chairman Mao called Ding Ling a "prisoner."
After Ding Ling went to the front, Chairman Mao also wrote a special article "Linjiang Immortal" and sent it to Ding Ling, and his praise for her was even more stingy.
"Miss Wu yesterday, Miss Wen today."
"A slim pen out who is similar to, three thousand Mauser elite soldiers."
In Yan'an, Ding Ling also met someone who was willing to guard her life, that is, a literary and artistic youth who was 13 years younger than her.
His name was Chen Ming, and before he came to Yan'an, he was already a leader in social education; he founded the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Federation to carry out anti-Japanese activities; he opened the "Unnamed Drama Society" to carry out propaganda activities; he founded workers' night schools, and he made outstanding contributions to social education.
At the literary and art evening party held in Yan'an to commemorate the first anniversary of Gorky's death, Ding Ling was offstage and Chen Ming was on stage.
On the stage, he was handsome, exquisite in performance, and skilled, and Ding Ling seemed to see the shadow of the brother who had once been, Hu Yepin.
In August, in order to better engage in revolutionary work, the Organization organized the Western War Regiment, Ding Ling became the director with rich work experience and unshakable position in the literary and art circles, and Chen Ming just happened to do propaganda work under Ding Ling.
The cooperation between the two is very tacit, Chen Ming has a fast brain, many ideas, and is very good at doing ideological work, Ding Ling is willing to listen to people's opinions, there is no shelf, and treat people warmly.
They fell in love, but their relationship was criticized by many people, one is that their age difference is too large, but their qualifications are also too different.
Chen Ming was young and impetuous, and after being persuaded by people around him, he didn't know how to face Ding Ling, and later he directly flashed marriage.
Ding Ling knew that after the pain, she confided to her friend Roland, Roland was angry and went to find Chen Ming, Chen Ming helplessly said: "With Ding Ling, my pressure is too great, her experience is too rich, I really have concerns." ”
But after the marriage, Chen Ming could not suppress the thought of Ding Ling, he found that he really did a stupid thing, feelings can not be deceived, he became more and more depressed, his wife knew that after the very reasonable, she said: "Our union was a mistake, now let's correct it." ”
The two calmly went through the divorce procedures.
In 1942, Ding Ling was 38 years old, had given birth to two children, Chen Ming was 25 years old, they were married, there was no wedding ceremony, the two held hands and walked in the streets of Yan'an.
They think that's the most romantic thing.
In the years that followed, no matter what difficulties Ding Ling encountered, Chen Ming always accompanied her and gave her warmth.
They held hands, shoulder to shoulder, foamed at each other, supported each other, and walked through the bumpy second half of their lives.
In March 1986, Ding Ling knew that she had reached the final moment, and she looked forward to Chen Ming and said, "Can you kiss me?" ”
Before she died, her last words were: "You are too bitter, and the one I can rest assured of is you." ”
Chen Ming was moved to tears, some people said that he was alive for Ding Ling, he brought Ding Ling stability and protection, he soothed Ding Ling's inner trauma, he was Ding Ling's patron saint.
Now that Ding Ling has passed away, Chen Ming has become Ding Ling's defender and worked hard for Ding Ling's image of zhenzhen.
He said that Ding Ling was worthy of his love, and he also spent his life to protect Ding Ling.
Ding Ling is an excellent writer, an avant-garde woman who pioneered the trend, she is not afraid of the world, and has composed a volume of love songs with her life.
