● My life is just so-so, I can't say it's good, nor can I say it's bad. I am a person without a heart. Sometimes I'm in pain, and sometimes I'm numb.
● Wang Meng: Ding Ling was different from other literary leaders of her time. She had a strong sense of creation, a sense of being a famous writer, and a sense of being a great writer. She strived for gold medals, not just contenting herself with awarding gold medal winners or making encouraging concluding speeches.
● Zhang Fengzhu, Ding Ling's secretary: She didn't hold much regard for some writers of her generation. What she could be proud of compared to them was that she participated in the revolution, while they didn't have her kind of experience. From the light cavalry of the Lu Art Academy era to the magnificent life along the Sanggan River. From the sensitive Sha Fei to the exiled in the Beidahuang. Ding Ling's life was like an bottomless cup, carrying too many tears and sighs. Of course, there was also a sense of relief and sorrow, but it was useless. Pessimism is a dead end, while positivity and optimism are what we truly need. Reflection implies optimism, and the study of the inner self refers to positivity. Without such qualities, reflection and the study of the inner self would both fail together. The authors of this series express their positivity and optimism from different perspectives. They strive to present the faint traces of the 20th century before us and place certain corners of China that have passed before our eyes. Because their purpose is directed toward today and the future, their concerns are no longer mere concerns but have merged with a special form of optimism. In this series, concerns are the concerns of optimism, and optimism is optimism with concerns. Therefore, this series effectively suppresses affectation to the greatest extent and kicks out any form of complaint. In a certain sense, this series properly continues, promotes, and elaborates on the finest tradition of 20th-century Chinese intellectuals. May we share this encouragement with all readers.
