Ke Yan had a hot personality when he was a child, much like a boy. She knew from an early age that if she didn't work hard, she wouldn't get a scholarship, or she couldn't get into a public school, she would drop out of school. So, like her brothers and sisters, she worked tirelessly and even successfully advanced placement many times. In the meantime, this little girl, who is only about ten years old, has shown her literary feelings-when her father received a letter full of literary colors, he excitedly said to his family, "Our family is leaving Xie Bingxin!"
After the age of twelve, Ke Yan studied at Overseas Chinese Middle School in Yunnan, Baoshan Normal School, Yuexiu Middle School in Kunming and Kunhua Normal School for Women. When she was a female teacher in Kunhua, she looked forward to taking Chinese classes every day, because every class made her learn a lot of things she longed for. The female teacher recited Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Teng-ting: "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn water is the same as the sky.". Fishing boats sing late, knocking on the other side of poverty and ignorance; Yan array was shocked by the cold, and his voice broke the pu of Hengyang ... "This respectable teacher not only deeply influenced Ke Yan in writing and love of literature, but also educated her to love her country and great motherland ideologically.
1945 12 1, a "12.2" incident that shocked China and foreign countries occurred in Kunming. In this tragedy, four patriotic youths demanding democracy and fighting hunger were killed. Wen Yiduo said: "This is the darkest day in China." In this dark and horrible day, Ke Yan served as the chairman of the strike committee of Kunhua Women's Teachers College, and went to The National SouthWest Associated University with her classmates all day to participate in a democratic rally, vowing to avenge the dead with college students. Most of the students of female teachers are children from poor families. The school said that their strike was manipulated by the producers of * * * ... and Ke Yan, influenced by her father, thought that no party was the noblest, and that she took an active part in the democratic movement out of a sense of justice and a strong dissatisfaction with the Kuomintang rule and the dark reality.
After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, she lived in Chongqing for one year with her brother and moved to Hubei with the refugees. At that time, the school had passed the examination period, so she had to learn English at the monastery, typing at the typing school and journalism at the news workshop. Half a year later, I entered the winter enrollment of Hilida Middle School, attending the last year of middle school. At that time, Ke Yan's love for writing had already appeared. 1947 published the essay My Classmate in the school magazine and Night and Loneliness in Hubei Daily. On the bank of the Yangtze River, she studied until 1948. Later, she was admitted to the drama department of Suzhou Institute of Social Education, where she officially came into contact with drama art. In May of the following year, the ancient city of Suzhou ushered in liberation. Nineteen-year-old Ke Yan enthusiastically participated in the revolution and came to the north to work in the creative group of China Youth Art Theatre and write plays.
Beijing, which has just been peacefully liberated, is devastated. Cities need construction and people need education. The Ministry of Public Security quickly gathered thousands of prostitutes and placed them in eight or nine women's production and reeducation homes for treatment and education reform. Young Ke Yan took part in this work. Most of these prostitutes were good women who were destroyed by national oppression and class oppression and then sold to brothels. They live an inhuman life and everyone has a history of blood and tears. Based on her understanding of Sunrise by Cao Yu, Resurrection by Tolstoy, Turtle with Nine Tails by Qing Dynasty and the translated novel Grandma, Ke Yan enthusiastically went to Beijing Women's Production and Reform Institute to participate in the reform of prostitutes. Ke Yan listened to their angry complaints with indignation. They cried, and so did Ke Yan. Their tragic life scenes always torment Ke Yan's feelings and strongly shock her soul. Although she experienced war, poverty, hunger and pain since she was a child, she never understood the injustice of this world from the perspective of class. When the abscess of the old society was presented to her in such a terrible form, her fantasy of being a pure "artist" that day was completely dissolved in this ocean of blood and tears. Ke Yan said: "Open exploitation and prostitution are the most shameful and inhuman behaviors of human society for thousands of years. And * * * producers are determined to completely eliminate them. What a bright and great cause! Only the * * * production party can save China and save slaves in hell! " So, she put forward the request of joining the China New Democratic Youth League and the China * * * Production Party, saying, "I want to join this ranks and fight for it all my life!" She believes that this is the truth of being a man, the bright road that should be taken, and the real pursuit of justice and truth.
1950, Youth Art Theatre organized a "cultural train" to perform for workers and railway soldiers among the masses. 1953, she took part in a condolence group to North Korea and met the most lovely people and the heroic Korean people. 1956, joined the China * * * production party. In the first few years after liberation, Ke took advantage of various opportunities to go deep into life and get in touch with the masses extensively. He has successively created one-act drama "The Chinese and Korean people are as close as flesh and blood", opera "Strive for an Early Reunion" (1950), "The Story of Marriage" (1957, 12) and "The Script".
There are monographs such as The Story of Xiao Bing and Selected Poems of Ke Yan's Children, lyric poems such as Premier Zhou, Where Are You, Lei Feng and China's Answer, reportage such as Strange Letter, Captain, Cancer ≠ Death, and family notes and Remembering.
