Lin Huiyin's name has left a strong mark in the history of the Republic of China, she came from a family of scholars, not only a famous lady at that time, but also a very successful career-oriented woman.
She is an internationally renowned master builder, a well-received writer and poet in China, and when she was young, Lin Huiyin used to build the "Crescent Moon Society" with Hu Shi and others.
And Lin Huiyin's love story is also very exciting, whether it is her lover Liang Sicheng, confidant friend Xu Zhimo, or Jin Yuelin, an obsessive talent who has admired her all her life, she has had many interesting stories.
In the end, among many suitors, Lin Huiyin chose to come together with Liang Sicheng, the son of Liang Qichao.
A match made in heaven
In 1928, Liang Sicheng formally proposed to Lin Huiyin, and the two entered the palace of marriage hand in hand, on the other hand, in society, the marriage between the two was called "a match made in heaven".
According to Lin Huiyin, people around Liang Sicheng and his wife recalled that the two had such a conversation on the night of their marriage:
Liang Sicheng asked his wife why he chose himself among the many suitors, and Lin Huiyin replied to him: "I will spend my life answering your question." ”
At that time, Liang Sicheng's most resounding name in society was actually the identity of "Liang Qichao's son", and Lin Huiyin was praised by people not only because she was born in Xiangmendi, but also because she was talented.
Lin Huiyin has many suitors, and there are several talents among the suitors, Liang Sicheng is not the most outstanding one, so he asked such a question to his wife on the wedding night, and Lin Huiyin also told his husband his heart words without reservation.
The honeymoon of this master architect couple is also very different from that of ordinary newlyweds, who believe that a simple trip to honeymoon is a waste of time, and it is better to choose a city with more historical relics and monuments, so that you can spend your honeymoon while doing professional academic investigations.
At first, the two were ready to embark on a spiritual journey along the cultural veins of China, but the time of their marriage coincided with a period of domestic turmoil, and traveling in the country may encounter some unknown dangers.
Finally, Lin Huiyin and his wife were ready to set the destination of the trip to European countries, the European architectural style is very local, and both are very interested in the history of the Middle Ages, and the two happily began to prepare for the honeymoon trip of the newlyweds.
Lin Huiyin and his wife had two children, namely the eldest daughter Liang Zaibing and the son Liang Congjie, Lin Huiyin's personality is very gentle and tenacious, but her daughter Liang Zaibing and her mother's temper is like the north and south poles of the earth.
Resolutely deny Lin Su
Although the love story of Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng is very envious of many people, it is difficult for gods to avoid life, old age, illness and death in the human world.
On April 1, 1955, Lin Hui died of illness, and the master builder who had made countless contributions to the republic left the world forever.
Liang Sicheng was very sad after the death of his wife, and even in the following years, he was very depressed, and Liang Zaibing and Liang Congjie were also very difficult to accept the death of their mother, but in order not to continue to stimulate their father, the two children sensibly chose to bury their thoughts of their mothers in their hearts.
Maybe he was too lonely and lonely after losing his wife, or maybe Liang Sicheng figured out something after Lin Huiyin's death, and a few years later, Liang Sicheng chose to marry his student Lin Su.
As soon as this news came out, the entire architectural world was shocked, the love story of Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng is a well-known good relationship, and now Lin Hui has died of illness and Liang Sicheng has remarried, this news is tantamount to adding a bad ending to this good relationship, for a while, the whole society is full of criticism of Lin Su.
In Liang Zaibing's heart, Lin Su and his mother Lin Huiyin are not comparable, and the mother's gentleness and love, and the mother's figure, are lingering in the hearts of the two brothers and sisters. After Lin Su and Liang Sicheng got married, Liang Zaibing did not like this stepmother horizontally, even if Lin Su treated Liang Zaibing after marriage, Liang Congjian admonished the two to take good care of them and take care of them.
Liang Zaibing hates this stepmother from the bottom of her heart, in Liang Zaibing's heart, Lin Su is an intruder who destroys her parents' love, and her arrival is disrespectful to her mother Lin Huiyin.
Eventual reconciliation with stepmother
Therefore, when she was at home, Liang Zaibing was angry with Lin Su everywhere, and no matter how her father Liang Sicheng enlightened her, she resolutely refused to recognize Lin Su as her stepmother, which lasted for ten years in the Liang family.
Even because of the arrival of Lin Su, the relationship between Liang Zaibing and his father also dropped to the freezing point, for a long time, Liang Zaibing was unwilling to go home to see his father, and during a break, Liang Zaibing had a hard time going home, but just saw Lin Su take down a photo of Lin Huiyin that was originally hanging in the living room.
The angry Liang Zaibing couldn't help but rush up and give Lin Su a slap, and Lin Su himself was also confused by this slap, she just didn't want her husband Liang Sicheng to see Lin Huiyin's photo too sad, but she touched the hardest thorn in Liang Zaibing's heart, and this time the reunion was not happy and dispersed.
After growing up, Liang Zaibing became an excellent journalist and achieved the top level in her industry, with the passage of time, Liang Zaibing herself has grown a lot, and many times she can finally face Lin Su with a more normal mentality.
In 1971, Liang Sicheng was seriously ill, Liang Zaibing and Liang Congjie rushed from other places to stay in front of his father's bed, and Lin Su, as his wife, was naturally also accompanying him, watching his stepmother take care of his seriously ill father without wearing clothes, Liang Zaibing's heart said that it was false not to be moved, and finally the mother and daughter who were not related by blood still reached a reconciliation.
The grandchildren of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are not surnamed Liang, and the reason behind this is that Liang Congjie's wife has no brothers in her family, and following folk customs, Liang Congcheng's children follow their wives' surnames zhou.
brief summary:
Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng are recognized as immortal lovers in academia, their every move and private life will receive a lot of attention, and their children and even grandchildren will be within the public eye.
It is difficult for future generations to evaluate Liang Sicheng's act of remarrying Lin Su, but the family's concern for Lin Huiyin is real, and we will always remember this outstanding architect in Chinese history.
