Hu Yeping (1903-1931) came to Beijing in the 1920s and soon came DingNing (1904-1986). They got acquainted in 1925, fell in love, and each began their literary career, while their literary development from the 1920s to the early 1930s completely matched with the historical path of contemporary Chinese literature that went from enlightenment to revolution. Both of their early works were affected by the philosophy of ”discovering man” from the May Fourth New Culture Movement but their interests were different. The novels of Hu Yeping directed toward the darkness of the bottom of the society, which portrayed the difficult lives of people under the rampages of warlords and robbers, the national foolishness, numbness and backwardness due to spiritual enslavement of traditional feudal thinking, as well as the drifting souls of the intellects of the May Fourth generation; the novels of Ding Ling was more concerned with the personal predicament of life of females, attempting to open a road of independence in the difficult lives of the ”Noras” who were liberated after the May Fourth Movement. After Hu Yeping and Ding Ling came to Shanghai in 1928, they were influenced by the left-wing thoughts of revolution and their works started to show a hint of ”both revolution and romance.” However, the ”Heading to Moscow” and ”Bright Future is Down the Road” by Hu Yeping focused on the consistency between revolution and romance, while the ”Wei Hu” and the essays of ”Shanghai in the Spring of 1930 (Part Ⅰ and Part Ⅱ)” by DingNing placed more emphasis on the contradiction and contention between revolution and romance. Through explaining and analyzing the novels of Hu Yeping and Ding Ling, this research compared the similarities and differences between the literary paths of the two that ”began from enlightenment and turned to revolution,” and with these, this research also illustrated the corresponding relationships between these two writers and the history of literature.
