The growth of the intellectual revolutionaries is a long and arduous journey. Ding ling’s book When in Hospital is a true masterpiece to show the growth of the intellectuals. In the war period of resistance against aggression, a large quantity of intellectuals went to the holy land of revolution, Yan’an, which expanded revolutionary forces. However, due to the intellectuals’ weakness, their transformation was also very difficult. In the work, Lu Ping’s growth was universal and typical, and her experience reflected a lot of intellectual revolutionaries’ growth trajectory.
