Features: This book primarily tells the story of the last century, covering the period from the early 1920s to the mid-1980s, spanning over six decades. Since Ding Ling's husband, Chen Mingjian, is still alive and devoted to her, focusing his efforts on her unfinished work and providing as much material as he knows to those who study her (much of which is primary source material), the story of Ding Ling's marriage and love in this book is also a cross-century one. Regarding Ding Ling's romantic relationships, I can only write based on facts. Some rumors were fabricated by her enemies and have long been disproven. Others are internal rumors, many of which are baseless and not worth dwelling on. In human social life, normal men and women all face the essential issue of marriage, as is often said, "When a man is grown, he should marry, and when a woman is grown, she should marry." Lucky individuals who can take control of their destiny can achieve "lasting companionship" in marriage, growing stronger with time and deepening their bond. Unfortunate marriages are varied and diverse, making it difficult to find two couples with completely identical life situations; in fact, it may be impossible rather than difficult to find such couples.
