Life

Ling was born in Xiyang County, Shanxi. He moved to Nanyang, Henan, and settled there with his parents. He served in the People's Liberation Army for ten years from 1968 to 1978. His inspiration for the emperor biographies came from his study of Dream of the Red Chamber, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.^{[citation needed]} He is also a member of the standing committee of the Chinese Redology Association, with a group of people devoting time and effort on the study of the aforementioned novel.
