刘白羽和丁玲关系考论——从《心灵的历程》谈起

The Winding Friendship of Liu Baiyu and Ding Ling——A Talk From The Journey of the Soul

《心灵的历程》是刘白羽的长篇回忆录,该著多处记述了作者与丁玲交往的种种细节,从中可以看出刘白羽与丁玲的关系大致经历了3个阶段:友谊的建立——友谊的摧折——友谊的恢复。刘白羽与丁玲相识于1937年冬抗日烽火中的山西汾河前线,在战争岁月中建立了纯真的革命友谊。但是在1955的胡风案和1957年的反右斗争中,丁玲遭到以刘白羽为骨干力量的中国作协的大力批判,两人的友谊随之破裂。到了1980年代初,在拨乱反正的背景下,刘白羽向丁玲表达了忏悔,两人最终握手言欢,恢复了原来的友谊。刘白羽和丁玲友谊发展变化的历程具有典型的时代意义,其个人命运与时代紧密相连,其关系的变化历程折射出历史的风云变幻。
