The paper, carried by DING Ling's fictions and started with the view of romanticism, explores the evidence and reasons of different clues on DING Ling, which get entangled and gambled from two aspects as DING Ling's ideology and her writings. On the one hand, no matter how the life or she changes, actually, DING Ling is a firm romanticist as "a moth darting into a flame which don't stop until dying".

At the same time, the paper tentatively explores the meaning of DING Ling in the history of Chinese literature, and the enlightenment of researchs on DING Ling's fictions for nowadays.
