Lin Huiyin's name always revolves around many literati and celebrities: Liang Sicheng, Xu Zhimo, Jin Yuelin, Shen Congwen, Hu Shi, etc., these literary heroes of the era who once shone in China's modern and modern history and led the way, like the stars and the moon, held this strange woman in the palm of their hands and cared for her. It is this kind of honor and favor that makes Lin Hui shine with a dazzling light that is unique in history because of this name.
It turned out that the famous great poet Xu Zhimo was only a short visitor in Lin Huiyin's life, and after Xu Zhimo's death, Lin Huiyin's story was about to begin.
In August 1928, under the contact of his father Liang Qichao, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, who returned from studying in the United States, entered the Department of Architecture of Northeastern University in Shenyang to teach. Liang and Lin and his wife were successful in Northeastern University and thoroughly exerted their strengths, but unfortunately, the cold climate in the northeast damaged Lin Huiyin's health, resulting in a recurrence of lung disease, and under the advice of relatives and friends, they had to return to Beiping to recuperate.
On the eve of the September 18 Incident in 1931, the northeast region was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the situation at Northeastern University became increasingly tense, Liang Sicheng struggled several times, and finally with his wife's footsteps, he gave up everything in Shenyang and returned to Beiping.
The family moved to the courtyard of Beiping Zongbu Hutong, due to the couple's academic style and personality charm, a group of cultural elites of the Chinese intellectual circles at that time gathered around, they tasted tea and sat down to discuss the world's affairs, and slowly, the Liang family residence formed the most famous "cultural salon" in Beiping in the 1930s.
Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo accompanied Tagore
Interestingly, in the era when knowledge and learning still belonged to the monopoly of men, Lin Huiyin's elegant temperament, steady conversation, unique insights and understanding of art and culture, coupled with the innate feminine charm and the unique ability to reconcile all kinds of learning in the dingding, made the topic of discussion of the participants, under the guidance of Lin Huiyin, show both academic depth and realistic breadth of everyone's style, which can be said to be talking about ancient and modern, all of which are learned.
Mr. and Mrs. Fei Zhengqing, who were once Lin Huiyin's guests, once repeatedly mentioned Lin Huiyin in the salon:
Other old friends will remember how she had monopolized the whole conversation incessantly. She is well known for her chattiness, but it is surprising that she is equally good at writing. Her conversations are as creative as her writings.
Topics range from witty anecdotes to sharp analysis, from wise advice to bursts of anger, from mad enthusiasm to deep contempt.
She was always the center of the gathering and the leader, and when she talked, the admirers were always overwhelmed by the pithy aphorisms that burst out of her wild inspiration that day.
Ye Gongchao, who was the foreign minister of the Republic of China, was also a guest of Honor at Lin Huiyin's home, and there was also an interesting story:
Ye Gongchao was usually humorous and funny, but when he went to Lin Huiyin's home to eat, he was suddenly silent, and his accompanying friends asked Mr. Ye: "Gongchao, how do you eat vegetables?" Ye Gongchao put down his chopsticks and pointed to Lin Huiyin, because Lin Huiyin was gushing endlessly!
From the above two paragraphs of text accounting, it can be seen that although Lin Huiyin is already a wife, her charming style still exudes the infinite charm that makes men like, admire and admire; and Liang Sicheng, who should be the master and provide a forum venue, has been reduced to a supporting role in Lin Hui's elegant manners for talking, even to the point where it can be directly ignored. Because this Liang Mansion belonged to the male owner, it was called "the wife's living room" at the time.
In the living room of the wife, "there is a great deal of laughter and laughter, and there is no white ding", in the early years of the Republic of China, one by one, the celebrities who shouted out their names and clanged, all of them were worshiped in the charming smile of Mrs. Lin Huiyin, and many of them also had wives and children. Watching her husband creeping and spying on the elegant wife who has long been a wife, and watching this elegant wife not shy away from enjoying the glory of the goddess that let other people's husbands spy and care, the woman's jealous anger exploded.
Bing Xin, a well-known Chinese children's literature writer, is also a native of Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and Lin Juemin, one of the Seventy-Two Martyrs of Huanghuagang, is Lin Huiyin's cousin. After Lin Juemin's accident in Guangzhou, the family was afraid of being implicated and sold Lin Juemin's residential compound, and the buyer happened to be Bingxin's grandfather.
Bingxin's husband, Wu Wenzao, and Lin Huiyin's husband, Liang Sicheng, are both graduates of Tsinghua School in 1923, and the two are not only the same window, but also roommates in the same dormitory. When The Bingxin couple studied in the United States, they also received Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, who studied in the United States in the late year; in other words, although Bingxin and Lin Huiyin are not like sisters, because the two have too many common background experiences with each other, the depth of the friendship is naturally not a problem. However, all this friendship is changed by the "wife's living room".
Bing Xin and Lin Huiyin
In the late autumn of 1933, Bing Xin published the famous satirical novel "Our Wife's Living Room" in the Tianjin Ta Kung Pao Literary and Art Supplement, in which a large number of innuendos surrounded Lin Huiyin's celebrities, the most lethal of which was the following fragment:
These celebrities pointed out the country in "Our Wife's Living Room", stirred up the words, and sprinkled their emotions to the fullest, and then dispersed. The white-faced, thin-lipped, high-nosed poet who waited until the end to go out to watch the play side by side with "our wife", with the return of his wife's tired, depressed and somewhat pocketed husband, had to bid farewell to the "living room" boringly and quietly disappeared into the forced night outside the door. The story of the whole mrs. living room ends here.
Clear-eyed people know who is written at a glance: "Our wife" is Lin Huiyin, "Sir" is Liang Sicheng, and "white-faced, thin-lipped, high-nosed poet" is of course Xu Zhimo. However, the point is that Bingxin's novel is the first time that the cultural circles have publicly and extremely explicitly exposed the "underground adultery" between Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin. And Liang Qichao, a giant of Chinese thought, and his son Liang Sicheng, in his wife's living room, can only be reduced to a saccharine, because he has no ability to stop his wife from frowning with the "white-faced, thin-lipped, high-nosed poet" and secretly communicating with the song.
Interestingly, after Lin Huiyin learned of Bingxin's novel that satirized her, she happened to return to Beijing from Datong, Shanxi Province, to investigate the Yungang Grottoes, and brought back a pot of old Vinegar from Shanxi, which was old and fragrant, and immediately sent someone to give it to Bingxin to eat. That is to say, Lin Hui, because he did not hide and avoid Bingxin's gossip about her, and even turned Bingxin into an army, believing that Bingxin was jealous of her favored position among men, would write such a vulgar novel to seek solace.
In fact, lin Huiyin and the "poet" eyebrows, secretly through the song is true, and Bingxin's jealousy of Lin Huiyin being pampered and pampered by men is also true. Li Jianwu, a well-known writer who was friendly with Lin Huiyin, once described Lin Huiyin as follows:
Extremely intelligent, but also a hot heart, fast mouth, straight, so strong, almost all women regard her as an enemy.
Lin Hui, because of her elegance, is also a talented woman who has returned from studying abroad, and the people who come and go are all intellectual elites, which is quite rare among women, and the point is that many famous people with wives and husbands have fallen one by one on the pomegranate steps of her "wife's living room", Lin Huiyin is like Zhen Huan and Wei Yongluo in the Qing Palace drama "Three Thousand Pets in One", how can they not be jealous and attacked by the concubines?
As early as when Lin Huiyin was still Liang Sicheng's girlfriend, Lin Huiyin participated in the "Crescent Moon Poetry Society" organized by Xu Zhimo, and Xu Zhimo took this opportunity to invite Lin Huiyin to jointly receive the Indian poet Tagore and Xu Lin who came to China to visit, and the qianying photos of the two people, along with the news when Tagore came to China, were published in major newspapers across the country. Liang Qichao was worried that Xu Zhimo had robbed his future daughter-in-law, so he quickly sent Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin to the United States to study, and married by the way, so that Xu Zhimo would die.
Lin Huiyin's avant-garde and bold style made Lin Huiyin's mother-in-law, That is, Liang Qichao's wife, Li Huixian, still refuse to let Lin Huiyin marry into the Liang family before her death. The mother-in-law's hostile attitude towards Lin Hui affected the aunts in the family, especially the elder aunt (Liang Sicheng's eldest sister Liang Sishun), who always had a bad face for Lin Huiyin, in addition to living her daughter in Lin Huiyin's home, she did not forget to complain that Lin Huiyin had brought bad daughters with friends around her.
Another aunt, Liang Siyi, was the leader of the student movement at Yenching University, and the Beiyang government wanted to arrest people, and Lin Huiyin, as the eldest sister-in-law, had to try his best to hide her and send her to the south. The hardest is the second aunt Liang Sizhuang, husband Wu Luqiang is a professor at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, but in the second year of marriage, Wu Luqiang died of an illness, leaving his widow Liang Sizhuang and his newborn daughter.
Liang Sizhuang took the child and the old mother in Guangdong and went north to join his brother Liang Sicheng, and Lin Huiyin complained in a letter to a friend:
They must be given houses from the houses that we are already very crowded with. I still have to find a lot of time in the time I can't squeeze anymore! There was noise and chaos everywhere.
It can be seen from this that Lin Huiyin not only had to face the jealousy and attacks of the concubines during the day, but after returning home, he also had to face and deal with the difficult and complicated diseases and fatigue bombardments of various aunts, and the more fatal key was that: outside, the gentleman Liang Sicheng of the nest could not protect his wife, and let the "white-faced, thin-lipped and high-nosed poet" attack Lin Huiyin step by step; inside, Liang Sicheng was sandwiched between his wife and sister and elders, but did not think about how to resolve it.
Mr. Wo Nang's inaction made His wife Lin Hui feel lonely, lonely, melancholy, and extremely empty, coupled with Xu Zhimo's diligent advance, Lin Huiyin's marriage with Liang Sicheng was actually in danger. Fortunately, people are not as good as heaven, and the poet crashed and died, ending this farce and preserving Lin Huiyin's reputation.
In An interview with the media in May 2000, Liang Congjie, the son of Lin Hui, said indignantly:
Xu Zhimo's death in the plane crash was a good thing for him, and if he lived for a few more years, it would be even more tragic for him, and he and Lu Xiaoman would definitely not be able to get by. If he divorces Lu, Xu Zhimo will definitely return to Lin Huiyin emotionally, and he will not be clear in the future, Lin Huiyin is also very distressed about him, he can't bear to hurt him, and Xu Zhimo will fall deeper...
The so-called "Zhimu Mo Ruozi", if Xu Zhimo did not die, with the degree of heat he played in the "wife's living room", the empty, lonely and bored Lin Huiyin would naturally feel sorry for him and not bear to hurt him. But what Liang Congjie did not say was that it was not only Xu Zhimo who fell deeper, Lin Huiyin was also unable to extricate himself, and the final outcome was probably the end of divorce with Liang Sicheng.
From this, it can be seen that Liang Congjie was of course glad for Xu Zhimo's death, because he almost became a "single-parent family". However, with the popularity of the wife's living room, as long as Lin Huiyin's loneliness, loneliness, and boredom continue to exist, then there is a dead Xu Zhimo and thousands of Xu Zhimo, the wife's living room is completely open and undefended, waiting for the poets to attack the city together, and the most famous of them is Jin Yuelin.
Jin Yuelin graduated from Tsinghua School in 1914, he is a super scholar, not only studied in the United States, Britain, but also traveled in Europe for more than ten years, full of talent, after returning to China to teach at Tsinghua University, is a famous Chinese philosopher and logician.
Drinking foreign ink for decades, Jin Yuelin, who has long been westernized, always wears suits and leather shoes, is personable, coupled with a slender height of 180 centimeters, which can be described as a dignified appearance and a gentlemanly demeanor. Jin Yuelin is also a guest of honor in his wife's living room, and also has romantic, naïve, mercurial, spontaneous and other "Shima-like" poet characteristics, so after Xu Zhimo's death, Jin Yuelin became Lin Huiyin's confidant, even to the point where it was difficult to leave.
Liang Sicheng's wife, Lin Su, wrote a book after Liang Sicheng's death, called "Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and Me", which has this record:
Probably in 1932, when I (Liang Sicheng) returned from Baodi investigation, Hui Yin cried and said with a sad face when he saw me, she was very distressed, because she was in love with two people at the same time, and she didn't know what to do. She talked to me like a wife and husband at all, but like a little sister asking her brother for advice.
Hearing this, I could not speak for half a day, and an indescribable pain caught me tightly, and I felt the blood clotting, and it was difficult to even breathe. But I also thank Huiyin for his trust and honesty in me. She didn't treat me like a stupid husband, what to do? I thought about it all night, and I asked myself, is Lin Huiyin living happily with me, or is he happy with old Jin (Jin Yuelin)?
I repeatedly put myself, Old Kim, and Hui Yin on the scales. I feel that although I have a certain cultivation in all aspects of literature and art, I lack the mind of the philosopher of old Jin, and I think that I am inferior to old Jin.
So the next day I told Huiyin the conclusion I had thought about all night, and I said that she was free, and if she chose old Kim, I wished them eternal happiness. We all cried. A few days later Huiyin told me: She told Old Kim what I said. Old Jin's answer was: "It seems that Sicheng really loves you, I can't hurt someone who really loves you, I should quit." ”
This story has been popular for a long time, and has even become a generation of good stories: get rid of the possessiveness of ordinary people and take care of a brilliant talented woman together; the love story of three people, the charm of the wife, the tolerance of the husband, and the withdrawal of the spiritual lover, can't help but make people very moved. However, due to The mediocre appearance of Liang Sicheng's wife Lin Su, her birth and character are also extremely despicable, most people suspect that this record of Lin Hui's spiritual affair is a serious jealous Lin Su, deliberately smearing and slandering the "Goddess of the Republic of China" in everyone's mind.
Although we cannot confirm whether Lin Huiyin has a spiritual affair, Lin Huiyin's good feelings with Jin Yuelin are well known to the world. Jin Yuelin and Lin Huiyin live next to each other, he treats Lin Huiyin as if he were his own, and after Lin Huiyin's death, he still takes care of Lin Huiyin's children, and the children often affectionately call him "Golden Father".
One year, Jin Yuelin invited his old friends at the Beijing Hotel, and everyone wondered why Old Jin wanted to entertain him. After all the guests arrived, Jin Yuelin announced: Today is Huiyin's birthday, so the crowd sighed and sighed. In fact, what Jin Yuelin did, Xu Zhimo also did that year, Xu Zhimo even directly moved into Lin Huiyin's residence to take care of her life, so Xu Zhimo was written into his wife's living room, "a white-faced thin-lipped and high-nosed poet who is eager to go out with his wife to go out to watch a play hand in hand", then Jin Yuelin is portrayed as the object of Lin Huiyin's spiritual affair, and it is no accident.
In fact, Liang Sicheng will choose a mediocre-looking, humble Lin Su with a humble origin, knowledge and even a despicable character as the wife of the continuation, which confirms the authenticity of Lin Su's description of Lin Huiyin's spiritual affair. In choosing Lin Huiyin, a once-in-a-century beauty, as his wife, what Liang Sicheng can do is to spoil, hold and care for this proud daughter of heaven.
Lin Huiyin's sparkling light destined Liang Sicheng to love her with a looking up, but this love was humble, repressed, and even suffocating at times. Before there was Xu Zhimo's enthusiastic pursuit of such a talented person, and then there was the elegant and erudite Jin Yuelin who fell in love everywhere, and I would like to ask which man can love confidently and love in this emotional crisis?
look at! In his wife's living room, Liang Sicheng is innuendoed as having to watch his wife and the poet in a mediocre way; in the real world, he can really only tolerate all this in a mediocre and silent way, although he feels as if he is just a husband in the legal sense, but in front of the goddess of the Republic of China, what can he do?
Lin Su - this ordinary and even a little despicable woman, but her ordinariness and meanness have brought Liang Sicheng an unprecedented sense of honor of "being looked up to" and "being worshipped", because Lin Su will not meet with the poet, nor will she fall in love with the spirit of the professor, the only thing this ordinary woman does is to wholeheartedly guard Liang Sicheng's life, so that he can taste what is Mr. With dignity.
Under the care of Lin Su, Liang Sicheng is no longer mediocre and no longer nested, although there is no "wife's living room", but in the "mr. living room", Liang Sicheng has self-confidence and dignity, which Lin Huiyin, who is smart and brilliant in ice and snow, can never do.
At the end of 1954, Lin Huiyin was admitted to Beijing Tongren Hospital, and her body was hollowed out bit by bit by the years of lung disease, and despite Liang Sicheng's almost "bowing down" care (Liang Sicheng was also infected with the disease), Lin Huiyin was still unable to withstand the devastation of the disease. On the morning of April 1, 1955, Lin Hui, the goddess of the Republic of China and a talented woman of a generation, quietly passed away at the age of 51.
Although Liang Sicheng was sad, Jin Yuelin, who was good friends with Lin Hui, cried even more. On April 2, the Beijing Daily and the People's Daily simultaneously published obituaries that 13 people headed by Jin Yuelin formed a "funeral committee," and the Beijing Municipal People's Government even buried Lin Huiyin in the "Babaoshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery." A woman can obtain a Chinese society centered on male power, so loved, cared for, and cherished, Lin Huiyin is not only unprecedented, but also a queen, and the title of "Goddess of the Republic of China" is absolutely well-deserved.
Jin Yuelin's link at the memorial service: "A poetic Thousand Waterfalls, a four-month day on earth." "Written with Lin Hui's passion, flying and extraordinary poetry.
This is Lin Huiyin, the Goddess Rank Lin Huiyin.
