After his mother died in Zhenjiang, he went to Zhedong on foot to join his brother jiyamoding, who was the magistrate of Dinghai county.

Because of the Japanese turmoil in the west of Zhejiang Province, many famous ministers appreciated Ding Henian's ability and recommended him to be an official, but he rejected him one by one. Soon after, jijamuddin died, and the year of the crane was in a desperate situation, so he had to "either travel to Shihai village as a boy teacher, or live in a monk's house to sell medicine for self-sufficiency".
