preface
When it comes to Lin Huiyin, a pure, quiet beauty appearance has probably come to your mind, but in fact, the real Lin Huiyin is very strong. Bingxin once ridiculed Lin Huiyin in "Our Wife's Living Room" as a flashy social flower, Lin Huiyin did not make any remarks after seeing the article, and she specially brought a bottle of Shanxi old vinegar to Bingxin after returning to Beiping after inspecting Shanxi.
Today's gossip lace may have portrayed Lin Huiyin as a queen of scandals in the Republic of China, but this does not affect her achievements as China's first female architect
。 Some people comment that she is a walking Mary Sue, and some people say that she is a male god harvester, but I think that the Mary Sue is good, the harvester is also good,
From beginning to end, Lin Huiyin is a confident, independent and strong woman.
It is a representative of the advanced women of the Republic of China.
First, London meets passionate poets
Lin Huiyin was born in Hangzhou, Jiangnan in 1904, and her childhood was not as happy as other ordinary children. Lin Huiyin's father, Lin Changmin, was a knowledgeable and gentle bachelor, while her mother, He Xueyuan, was just a very ordinary housewife, with no cultural education and poor housekeeping. Lin Huiyin knew from a young age that his mother was not pleasing to his father, and after his father married his aunt, he placed the mother and daughter in a messy backyard and lived in the front yard with his aunt. But
Although Lin Changmin did not like He Xueyuan, he was very protective of Lin Huiyin, who was smart in ice and snow. In 1920, Lin Changmin, out of his love for his daughter, took Lin Huiyin to Europe to study.
During his travels in Europe, 16-year-old Lin Huiyin met Xu Zhimo, who was studying in the UK at the time. Xu Zhimo was already the father of a two-year-old child at that time, but he still exuded the light and vitality of a poet. After several encounters and conversations, the feelings of the two slowly changed, from the initial appreciation to the love. Xu Zhimo was attracted by Lin Huiyin's beauty and talent, and Lin Huiyin was also deeply fascinated by Xu Zhimo's charm and talent.
Xu Zhimo's love for Lin Huiyin is obvious to the world, and he has written many love poems for Lin Huiyin in this life.
The two often exchanged letters in their spare time.
Xu Zhimo himself once said that he had no achievement in writing poetry before the age of 24, because of his romantic encounter with Lin Huiyin, which inspired his talent as a poet, and since then he has a large number of new poems. In order to be able to communicate with Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo even filed for divorce with his wife at home. However, Xu Zhimo's affection was eventually put into vain, the clever and resourceful Lin Huiyin knew that Xu Zhimo had a family, she did not want to destroy other people's families, of course, this is only one of the points, another very important reason is that Lin Huiyin knows that the poet's long-term love may be suitable for sweet and simple love,
But this romance cannot be integrated into life, and she understands that Xu Zhimo is not someone who can spend her life hand in hand.
After that, the father and daughter of the Lin family did not quit, and the grieving poet wrote the famous love poem "Farewell to Kangqiao" with tears in his eyes. The two met again four years after the British encounter, when Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng's marriage had gone through four years, and the two were about to return from the University of Pennsylvania, and Xu Zhimo was also married to Lu Xiaoman at this time. On November 19, 1931, Xu Zhimo, who was preparing to go to Lin Hui for the exhibition of architectural art, unfortunately suffered a plane crash and was killed. Xu Zhimo's death made Lin Huiyin once fall into grief, and it can be said that Xu Zhimo is lin Huiyin's ferryman on the road of literature.
Years later, Lin Huiyin revealed while chatting with his children,
Xu Zhimo does not love the real her, he loves Lin Huiyin imagined with his own poet's romantic feelings, but in fact she is not that kind of person.
This is also the key to the fact that the two people who were in love with each other at that time could not come together.
Second, a happy marriage with Liang Sicheng
In June 1924, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng married under the words of their parents' concubines, which was different from the arranged marriages of their parents in the past, although this relationship was obedient to the words of their parents' concubines, they were also voluntarily consummated by Lang You's concubines and the two were already admiring each other.
Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng Lang are talented and female, and the door is right, both the good stability of Qin and Jin, and the romantic passion of Western love.
Both parents are satisfied, and outsiders are envious. Not long after Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng got married, they went to the United States to study architecture together under Liang Qichao's arrangement. In 1928, Liang Sicheng's brother-in-law was serving as consul general of the Chinese consulate in Ottawa, so in that year, under the auspices of Liang Sicheng's brother-in-law, the couple held a grand and grand wedding at the Chinese consulate. After the wedding, the couple continued to devote themselves to the construction they loved. Lin Huiyin has the beauty and imagination of a poet, but he has never lacked the seriousness and concentration of scientists. Their investigation and measurement of local ancient architecture in Shanxi not only laid a solid theoretical foundation for China's later architecture, but perhaps many national treasure-level buildings buried in the barren mountains and mountains reappeared in the sky and went to the world to become known to the world.
There is also a small episode in Lin Huiyin's marriage to Liang Sicheng, which is Jin Yuelin. Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng hold a party at their home every week, and Jin Yuelin has always been a regular guest in the couple's home, and lives next to the couple. Jin Yuelin has a very high evaluation of Lin Huiyin, and he once wrote in the book that Lin Huiyin's beauty and talent are all first-class in the world, and she has everything that the world wants to have. Lin Huiyin also admired and admired Jin Yuelin, and the two talked about everything like confidants, and had a sharp heart. Jin Yuelin loved Lin Huiyin all her life, but she never expressed her love directly, but silently guarded her side. Maybe it's like Lin Huiyin once said.
When you fall in love with someone who can't be with you, don't say to her I love you, just be his confidant, you can talk to him, but don't say I love you.
Third, the last time
In 1937, the July 7 Incident completely fell in Beiping, and Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin's family began a nine-year exile. The turbulent and displaced time made Lin Huiyin's lung disease more and more serious, she often soaked several towels in pain at night, and also needed her husband Liang Sicheng to carry out intravenous injections in time to alleviate the disease during the day. Lin Huiyin recalled the energetic girl who was talking and laughing in the crowd, as if she was frozen in yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, she was lying on the sickbed.
In 1945, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng were finally able to return to Beiping, which had been separated for a long time, and the eight-year-long war had devastated Beiping, and the husband and wife resolutely threw themselves into the reconstruction work in the face of a hometown that was in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt.
Lin Hui, who was on the sickbed, dragged his weak body and her husband to complete one heavy work after another, and finally ended his glorious life in the education cause of the motherland.
Lin Huiyin's beauty is more reflected in her dedication to her career, and her advanced nature is also more reflected in her literacy and knowledge, rather than saying that Lin Huiyin is beautiful, it is better to say that she has been creating beauty all her life. As she herself said,
When the sun is approaching, there is always a sunset in the western sky.
