Between Running Away and Leaving Home——On Family Writing in Ding Ling's Early Novels
Ding Ling's early novels often centered on rebels who bravely broke away from their old families during the May Fourth Movement,forming a narrative mode in which the protagonist"runs away from home"in pursuit of brightness and individuality.However,there are often various cracks and contradictions between the characters'"running away"and"leaving home"in novels,such as those between physical and mental aspects,desire and reality,and past and future.Based on a close reading of the text,interpreting the three main family forms and their characteristics in Ding Ling's early novels,namely patrilineal,virilocal and matrilineal,can help grasp the special status and potential influence of the family in Ding Ling's creative path.At the same time,introducing multiple perspectives such as social history and Ding Ling's family history and returning to the historical scene of literary creation is not only an exploration of the historical context and historical memory of her family writing but also an effective perspective for reexamining and excavating Ding Ling's early creative value.
