Tearing down a city tower is like digging out a piece of my flesh; peeling off the bricks of the outer city is like peeling off a layer of my skin. ——Liang Sicheng
He has been threatened by illness, but for him, life has become worthless in the face of scholarship, and neither the torment of illness nor the hardships of life can erase his enthusiasm for scholarship. This is the true portrayal of Liang Sicheng.
The profession of architect is not as superficial as building buildings, he places the meaning of life in his career, they record the changes of civilization, and from their lives they can reflect the course of history. This "grandmaster of Chinese architectural history" also holds an absolutely loyal position in marriage, but why did Liang Sicheng choose to marry another woman seven years after Lin Huiyin's death?
In 1920, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin first met, one of them was a generation of masters in the architectural world, the other was a generation of talented women with poetry and bookishness, and the talents and beauties were undoubtedly optimistic, without exaggeration: Lin Huiyin's beauty was like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, an elegant and youthful posture, gentle and resolute eyebrows all revealed a proud temperament. Such a woman admired by everyone was favored by Xu Zhimo, Liang Sicheng and Jin Yuelin, and for the other two, Liang Sicheng was so honored to marry this talented woman and become the one who accompanied Lin Huiyin through the rest of his life.
16-year-old Lin Huiyin met Xu Zhimo while playing in Europe, and this talent who was studying in the UK not only had extensive knowledge, elegant and funny conversation, but also a handsome and handsome appearance, which were the reasons why Lin Huiyin was deeply attracted to Xu Zhimo. Similarly, Lin Hui's outstanding talent and beauty made people have no resistance, and Xu Zhimo was also deeply infatuated with this superb beauty. After Xu Zhimo met Lin Huiyin, the inspiration for his new poetry also burst out.
But a few years later, Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin had no chance to continue, and they went to their own different paths of life: Xu Zhimo married Lu Xiaoman, and Lin Huiyin also married Liang Sicheng, a great man in the architectural world. Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin not only have similar interests in life, they also love each other, plus they can be said to be both old and new at that time, Lang Cai and female appearance, door to door, the combination of the two of them is quite envied.
So who is Jin Yuelin? At that time, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng had almost a weekly party in their homes, Jin Yuelin and Liang Sicheng and his wife met in their early years, had similar interests, and for a long time they lived next to each other, Jin Yuelin naturally became a regular guest at their parties. A man as calm and outstanding as Jin Yuelin praises Lin Huiyin's talent and character as supreme; Lin Huiyin also admires him to the extreme.
After Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng quarreled, Lin Huiyin also looked for jin Yuelin, who was calm and calm, to spit bitter water. But Jin Yuelin never took that step from beginning to end, he had been using his own reason to control his feelings for Lin Huiyin, and he had silently loved Lin Huiyin all his life.
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin have walked through the ups and downs together and have not abandoned In China's turbulent years. However, such an enviable love and family did not go unsatisfactory, and in the turmoil, Lin Huiyin's body became increasingly haggard, and finally in 1955, the "first talented woman of the Republic of China" unfortunately died of illness.
After Lin Huiyin's death, Liang Sicheng was depressed and deeply fell into the pain of losing his wife, during this time, Lin Su has been accompanying Liang Sicheng's side, not abandoning, giving Liang Sicheng unlimited comfort and warmth, and accompanying Liang Sicheng to walk out of the haze step by step.
Seven years after Lin Huiyin's death, Liang Sicheng decided to marry Lin Su, and during these seven years, Lin Su accompanied Liang Sicheng through the low tide of his life, giving him new dawn and hope. According to common sense, the decision of Liang Sicheng and Lin Su should make people happy, but the fact is that they have been opposed by everyone, and Liang Sicheng has not hesitated to drift away from his children and even break off relations.
The opposition to their decision to marry is not only the age gap between the two, but also The special status of Li Soo. In the early years, Lin Su's father saw that Cheng Yingquan was handsome and handsome, a talented and talented, so he tried his best to match his daughter Lin Su and Cheng Yingquan together.
At that time, Lin Su, who had just finished high school, wanted to enter the Tsinghua preparatory class, but because it coincided with the liberation, the preparatory class had not yet been opened that year, so Lin Su's father sought help from Lin Huiyin, a fellow villager in Fuzhou. Lin Huiyin did not hesitate to agree to this request and personally tutored Lin Su's English.
Shortly after liberation, Lin Su received a letter from her father, in which his father hoped that she could complete the marriage with Cheng Yingquan, and Lin Huiyin privately funded Lin Su's marriage after learning the news. And when Lin Su married Cheng Yingquan, Liang Sicheng was the main marriage of their wedding. From all kinds of deeds. The combination of Liang Sicheng and Lin Su almost transcends the moral bottom line of Chinese intellectuals.
At that time, there were many opinions about the combination of Liang Sicheng and Lin Su, and there were rumors that Lin Su abandoned her husband Cheng Yingquan in order to marry Liang Sicheng, which on the surface seemed to be true, after all, it was impossible for many people to marry a big figure in architecture, which was also true for Lin Su, who was only in his early 20s.
But no matter what the rumors are, the relationship between the two of them is indeed very harmonious after marriage, Lin Su not only takes meticulous care of Liang Sicheng in life, but also silently supports Liang Sicheng in her career, and even after Liang Sicheng's death, she still sorts out Liang Sicheng's architectural materials as always.
Liang Sicheng is a person who has an attitude towards marriage from one end to the other, why did he choose to remarry seven years after Lin Huiyin's death? Liang Sicheng's second wife, Lin Su, gave the answer.
After Liang Sicheng's death, Lin Su revealed some of Liang Sicheng's evaluations of his marriage with Lin Huiyin in the article: "It is not easy to be Lin Huiyin's husband, Lin Huiyin was a talented woman of the generation at that time, he would feel very stressed to be with her, and he was also trying to follow Lin Huiyin. He did not deny that he was sometimes very tired with Lin Huiyin, because Lin Huiyin was too good and his mind was very active, and he had to maintain full energy at all times when living with Lin Huiyin. ”
Some people say that Lin Su was jealous of Lin Huiyin and deliberately slandered Lin Huiyin in this way, but from the evaluation of Liang Sicheng's grandson Liang Jian, we seem to be able to see the truth of the matter: Lin Su did his best to serve Liang Sicheng, carrying a lot of grievances and being as good as ever for Liang Sicheng. Although the evaluation is small, from the simple language, we can feel Lin Su's deep feelings for Liang Sicheng.
No matter what the facts are, there is no need to pursue it, at least Liang Sicheng's decision to remarry Lin Su seven years after Lin Huiyin's death was deeply thought-out, perhaps at that time everyone only saw the bright surface of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin,200 golden boys and jade girls, and did not know the difficult side of Liang Sicheng's marriage with Lin Huiyin.
Liang Sicheng spent the first half of his life to guard Lin Huiyin and did his best to give Lin Huiyin the best of everything. In the second half of his life, he waited for Lin Su, a woman who was willing to accompany him to escape, willing to accompany him to do all the things he dared to think and did not dare to think, for Liang Sicheng, remarrying Lin Su may make him truly feel the warmth and happiness in marriage.
