From “Matural Person” To “Revolutionary Person”

This paper takes Ding Ling’s subjective self-positioning as the starting point,explores the transformation of Ding Ling’s subjective self from "natural person" to "revolutionary person",and then analyzes the motives of her transformation in the context of her personal growth and social and cultural environment."The thesis is divided into three parts: the text of Ding Ling’s works and her personal experiences.The thesis is divided into three parts:The introductory section is divided into three parts: the origin of the study,the current situation and significance of the study,and the definition of the concept and the content of the study.The main text is divided into three chapters.The first chapter analyzes the subject’s self-writing before Ding Ling’s turn(1927-1931),and this chapter analyzes the text layer by layer from three aspects: narrative picture,narrative strategy and narrative intention.First of all,Ding Ling’s fictional texts of this period mainly present the individualistic path of the protagonist,which is manifested in the attempt to use "sisters" as the "mirror" of self-perception and "free love" to manifest the bold self."The main character’s individualistic pursuit is mainly presented in the novel’s text.On the other hand,starting from the narrative strategy,in terms of spatial construction,the beautiful countryside scenery is only imagined,while the solitary room in the city instead binds the subject in pursuit of freedom.In terms of narrative techniques,the body narrative is used to promote the self,but it is reduced to an object to be seen,and the self is written in the form of diary,trying to obtain the discourse of the female subject.In the narrative mode,Ding Ling begins to think about the contradiction between individualism and revolutionary pursuit with the plot mode of "revolution + love",and her circular narrative mode eventually disintegrates the ideal of individualism and announces the plight of individual exodus.Finally,Ding Ling writes about the "existential dilemma" and"spiritual dilemma" faced by the individual exodus,showing the desperate struggle against the emptiness of the intellectuals after their dashing exodus,which also nurtures Ding Ling’s turn to write and confirm the subject’s self.The second chapter analyzes Ding Ling’s subjective self-writing after her turn(1931-1949).This chapter corresponds to the first chapter,and still analyzes the text layer by layer from three aspects: narrative picture,narrative strategy and narrative intention.First,Ding Ling begins to write about intellectuals and peasant fighters who are heading toward revolution after the turn.The intellectuals complete their rationalization and revolutionization by self-transformation,while Ding Ling negates the personalized feelings she pursued in the earlier period and writes about revolutionary friendship instead,finally completing the shift of her narrative subject from the formerly enlightened to the enlightened.On the other hand,in terms of spatial construction,the shift from the small but sophisticated Shanghai apartment to the fields and mountains full of crops reflects the change in the perspective and space of the narrative,reflecting the shift in the orientation of the individual subject.In terms of narrative techniques,Ding Ling’s early physical writing is continued in another way in this period,from "individualism" to "collectivism" and from "self-liberation" to "conversion to revolution" through the publicization of private bodies.In terms of the narrative mode,the "individualism" and the "collectivism" of the body are the most important factors in the transformation of the body.In the narrative mode,"complaining" becomes a channel to make private life public,from the once hidden diary to the public complaining at the conference,thus completing the "collectivization" and "publicization" of the narrative subject by Ding Ling.In this way,Ding Ling completes the "collectivization" and "publicization" of the narrative subject.The third chapter analyzes the reasons for Ding Ling’s turn from the growth of her subject self and the social and cultural environment.This chapter combines Ding Ling’s miscellaneous writings and relevant historical materials,and starts from her upbringing.The stubborn and thoughtful personality traits shaped by her childhood and the failure of her individualistic pursuit as an adolescent are the internal motives for her turn.In addition,the influence of Qu Qubai,Feng Xuefeng,Hu Yepin,and others,as well as Ding Ling’s reading history,are the external triggers of Ding Ling’s turn.Finally,by returning to the literary scene and analyzing the social background and literary trends,the deeper motives of Ding Ling’s turn are captured.The concluding section provides an overall summary of Ding Ling’s subjective selfwriting.Through Ding Ling’s fictional practice,we are able to search for the transformation of Ding Ling’s subjective self-cognition,and to provide an effective interpretative path for the study of Ding Ling’s turn as a representative of the writer in the context of the times.
