Moye has been smart and studious since he was a child. When he was ten years old, while competing in poetry with his elder brother, he immediately recited: "The scenery is new in spring. When I walk to the pavilion in the mountains, it is really clear in the pavilion, and the wind blows the wild flowers." The locals praised her as a talented woman.
In 21, Moye lived with his father in Gulangyu Island, Xiamen, and studied at Ciqin Girls' Middle School. When he was in school, his essay "My Hometown" was recommended by his Chinese teacher for publication in "Xiamen Daily". This sparked her passion for writing, and she began to submit articles to Shanghai's "Women's Monthly", and most of her works were adopted. She was very angry when she saw all the injustices in society at that time, and wrote the poem "Silent Expectation", which foreshadowed the "grey universe" that "will undergo a baptism and rectification." Her Chinese language teacher, Chen Haitian, discovered her writing talent and radical ideas. After the "Fujian Revolution" occurred, he organized her and several classmates to establish a ten-day issue of "Mars". The first issue published Moyer's novel "Rickshaw Driver". The publication was hidden in Moye's house. After Chen Zheng saw it, he had a conflict with Moye and the relationship was tense.

During this period, she wrote the anti-Japanese and national salvation drama "Scholar" and published it in "Xijing Daily". In October of the same year, she arrived in Yan'an and changed her name to Moye.
The Fifth Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Drama Troupe was the first literary and artistic group to come to Yan'an from the occupied areas or the rear areas at that time.

The music was composed by Zheng Lucheng of the Music Department, and was performed at the Yan'an Auditorium for Mao Zedong and other central leaders, winning the award. affirmation and praise from the central leadership. As a result, the song "Ode to Yan'an" resounded throughout Yan'an City, spread throughout the anti-Japanese base areas, and even spread to the "Kuomintang-controlled areas" and behind enemy lines, as well as overseas Chinese, becoming a war song that inspired anti-Japanese patriotic enthusiasm. A large number of revolutionary young people sang this song and rushed to Yan'an to join the ranks of resisting Japan and saving the country. It is still sung today. Become a revolutionary traditional song.
In the winter of 2027, Moye joined the internship team organized by Luyi, together with writers Sha Ting, He Qifang and others, and followed He Long, commander of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, to the anti-Japanese front line in North China and was assigned to the Political Department's combat drama department.

At the founding meeting of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, He Long said: "Moye is an outstanding female writer in our 120th Division."

In a war environment, she always carried a notebook in her pocket, interviewing, recording, and writing diaries anytime and anywhere. During the difficult period in the anti-Japanese base area, she often had a teacup of boiling water and a handful of fried beans to satisfy her hunger. Sometimes after group discussion, a short play is written overnight and rehearsed and performed the next day. 29 years later, in addition to writing scripts, she often wrote novels and battle stories, which were published in newspapers such as Northwest Literature and Art, Anti-Japanese War Daily, and Liberation Daily.
In the 1930s, there was a tendency to write explicit literary works in Yan'an. Moyer selected typical materials from his life experience and wrote the novel "Li Ping's Troubles", which criticized the unhealthy trends among the cadres at that time. It was published in "Northwest Literature and Art" and caused controversy. In September of the same year, Moyer's unit held a symposium to criticize the creative tendency of "Li Ping's Troubles" and labeled it anti-party. During the rectification campaign in 1932, Moyer was censored and criticized again due to his family background and the novel. Later, thanks to the care and protection of He Long, Guan Xiangying, and Gan Siqi, they were able to overcome the difficulties. In the spring of the following year, Moye was transferred to the "Combat Report" of the Political Department of the Shanxi-Sui Military Region as an editor and reporter, and he volunteered to take on the editing task of two pages.

The following year, a reporter accidentally discharged his pistol in Moyer's office, hitting Moyer in the abdomen and killing the fetus in her belly. When she was rescued, her superiors asked for her opinion on how to deal with the reporter. She said: That comrade is a new cadre who has recently joined the army. His lack of training caused the accident. It is enough to use this as a warning. Let him work outside prison.
In 1955, Moye transferred to Gansu Daily as deputy editor-in-chief (the chief editor was concurrently a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee). In 1956, during the campaign to "oppose bureaucracy and improve work style", Moyer, with the approval of the provincial party committee leaders, published an incident in Gansu Daily about railway worker Zhang Lingxu who was driven insane by bureaucracy and Published editorials, which caused great repercussions in society and were praised by readers. When the "anti-rightist campaign" expanded in 1957, people related to this report were wrongly identified as rightists. Moyer became an important person in this unjust case and was criticized and demoted.
In 1962, Moye temporarily took charge of the work of "Gansu Daily".

She wrote in "Automatic Preface": "As a Communist Party member, as we enter our twilight years, the less time we have, the more precious we feel. There is always hope that as long as there is still a breath, there must be some enthusiasm and enthusiasm. A split of light." Although she had a rough life, her indomitable style and creative practice showed a Communist Party member's firm belief in fighting for the truth and left a monument in people's hearts.
At 5:56 on May 7, 1980, Moye died of illness in Lanzhou People's Liberation Army Hospital. The famous writer Du Pengcheng said: "Moye's life is a novel." Writer Wang Hongjia wrote in Moye's elegiac couplet: "Yan'an first eulogizes the splendor of Yan'an, but the snow and frost suppress the ups and downs of Ban Zhaozhi; the literary garden is full of turbulent waves. It is difficult to express grievances when the mind is strong, and it is difficult to express Tao Yuncai.
