Hu Yepin (; 4 May 1903－7 February 1931) was a Chinese writer, poet, and playwright. A prominent member of the League of Left-Wing Writers, he was one of the Five Martyrs of the Left League executed in February 1931 by the Kuomintang government. Hu was the first husband of the celebrated writer Ding Ling, who was also a member of the Left League, and a close friend of the writer Shen Congwen. ==Life and career== Hu Yepin was born Hu Peiji (胡培基) on 4 May 1903 in Fuzhou, Fujian province. He had four younger brothers and a younger sister. At age 15 he began working as an apprentice of a goldsmith. In 1920 Hu moved to Shanghai, where he attended Pudong High School, and changed his name to Hu Chongxuan (胡崇轩). A year later he went to Tianjin to study at the Dagukou navy academy. However, the navy academy was shut down soon afterwards, and he drifted to nearby Beijing. He changed his name again to Hu Yepin.〔 In the summer of 1924, Hu Yepin met Ding Ling, who had recently arrived in Beijing from Shanghai. They fell in love and became unofficially married in 1925.〔 At the end of 1928, Hu Yepin, Ding Ling, and their close friend, writer Shen Congwen, left Beijing for Shanghai.〔 The trio founded the Red and Black Publishing House and its journal ''Red and Black''. The venture was unsuccessful, and closed soon afterwards. To repay his debts, Hu Yepin accepted a teaching job at the provincial high school in Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, in 1929.〔 According to the linguist Ji Xianlin, who was then a student at the high school, the arrival of Hu Yepin and his fashionable wife Ding Ling from Shanghai caused a sensation at the school.〔 In May 1930, the Kuomintang government ordered the arrest of Hu Yepin for his pro-Communist teaching. Hu and Ding were forced to leave Jinan and returned to Shanghai, where they joined the League of Left-Wing Writers, which had just been established two months before.〔 Hu Yepin served as an executive committee member of the league. In November 1930, Hu Yepin joined the Communist Party of China. In the same month, Ding Ling gave birth to a boy named Hu Xiaopin (胡小频), who was later renamed to Jiang Zulin (蒋祖林) after Hu Yepin's death, using Ding Ling's real surname Jiang.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hu Yepin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
