七十五歲時重返文壇,丁玲沒有時間為自己的遭遇呻吟嘆息,她就像年輕人一樣急切地捧出了一枝報春的紅杏–《杜晚香》,忘情地投入新的生活和創作。她奔波于大江南北,游歷于歐、美、澳大陸,會見各種人,發表演說,奮筆疾書,寫散文,寫評論,每年都有十多萬字的新作,每年都有新書問世。晚年的丁玲,迎來了一個寶貴的創作旺盛期。她珍惜夕陽的余暉,計劃在有生之年再寫三本書。
When she reentered the literary circle at the age of 75. Ding Ling had no time to groan over her miserable past. Instead, she, like a vigorous youth, urgently presented her new book Du Wanxiang. a harbinger-of-spring of her rebirth, and completely devoted herself to her new life and creation. Her time was spent on rushing about the land, traveling around Europe, America, and Australia, meeting people from all walks of life, and making lectures. Meanwhile, she kept on writing, which led to a yearly production, essays and reviews, of more than 100.000 words. With new books published every year, Ding Ling, in her old life, stepped into a highly productive period of creation. Enjoying the sun-setting twilight of her life, she planned to write another three books for the rest of her life.
