In Shijingshan District, Beijing, in the south of Babaoshan, on the north side of Chang'an Avenue, there is a cemetery covering an area of 150 acres, which is the garden-style cemetery with the highest specifications, the most famous and the richest red education resources in the country. There are many famous figures buried here, including revolutionary pioneers of the party and the state, as well as famous scientists and writers. Today I want to talk about one of the familiar women, her name is Lin Huiyin.
Lin Huiyin was born in 1904 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Although he was born at the end of the old society, Lin Huiyin was never stained with the slightest breath of a woman in the old era, did not wrap his feet, and even wore a rather fashionable dress, and ideological education was completely in accordance with the education of the West at that time.
The biggest influence on Lin Huiyin was her father Lin Changmin, although in the early years, because Lin Huiyin was still young and busy with work, he always placed Lin Huiyin in his grandparents' house, and when Lin Huiyin was a teenager, Lin Changmin took him with him for education.
In April 1920, when 16-year-old Lin Huiyin traveled to Europe with his father Lin Changmin and lived in London, Lin Huiyin met a very interesting landlady, who had a cheerful personality. Seeing that Lin Hui was well-behaved and cute, he often brought it to his home to play. The landlady is an architect, so she often introduces her designs to Lin Huiyin and appreciates classic architecture.
Unexpectedly, under the influence of the landlady, Lin Huiyin gradually became interested in architecture, and even set an ambition to study architecture. This experience of traveling to Europe had a great impact on the young Lin Huiyin, including the love story of her and Xu Zhimo's youth, which also occurred during this period.
In 1921, Lin Huiyin followed his father Lin Changmin back to China, and under the introduction of his father, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng became acquainted. Compared with Xu Zhimo, who has been married, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are undoubtedly more suitable, they have similar family backgrounds, and they have the same hobbies and aspirations.
In June 1924, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng, who were already engaged, went to the United States to study architecture at the same time, and the two entered the School of Fine Arts of the University of Westa together, spending four years of intense and pleasant study together, graduating in 1928, and officially married before graduation, and the husband and wife returned to China together.
After returning to China, Liang Sicheng Lin Huiyin and his wife threw themselves into the design and protection of the motherland's architecture, and the famous Babaoshan Martyrs' Cemetery was designed by Lin Huiyin, as one of the main designers of the cemetery, Lin Huiyin was also allowed to enter this glorious cemetery to sleep peacefully after his death in 1955.
Who knows, however, in a turbulent period of ten years. Some unscrupulous people even laid hands on the Babaoshan Martyrs' Cemetery, and even Lin Huiyin's tombstone was inexplicably smashed. What was wrong with Lin Huiyin? Just because her tombstone suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of the unscrupulous? Obstructing their eyes?
What is surprising is that after Lin Huiyin's tombstone was smashed, Lin Huiyin's children did not advocate restoration, because they believed that the mother's damaged tombstone could serve as a warning, warning future generations not to repeat the same mistakes, believing that this is also what Lin Huiyin is willing to see. Of course, later the tombstone was still repaired by people, and that unforgettable period of time has long been engraved into the memory of the nation, and will not be repeated.
