This woman has been entangled with three men all her life. One of them, for her divorce from his wife, admired her talent, and she also inspired his ability to write poetry, and the other fell in love with her all his life and did not marry a wife, although many references in later generations mentioned that this man had many mistresses, only one, and was able to accompany her for life, even though her life was so short, only 51 years. You must have heard of this woman, she is the talented woman Lin Huiyin.
Among those talented women in the Republic of China, such as Zhang Ailing and Xiao Hong, there may not be her more worthy of the title of talented woman. She wasn't just a poet, not just a translator, she was an architect. However, she is also Qian Zhongshu's Green Tea of the Republic of China. Even Lu Xun, Bing Xin and others have mixed evaluations of her. Why?
Although people admired her talent, there were still people who criticized her style of life. These are the three men mentioned at the beginning of the article, entangled with her all their lives, or in today's terms, ambiguity.
Among them, there is also a famous figure standing on the opposite side, that is, Bingxin. Bing Xin wrote some sarcastic remarks in one of her own articles, and she satirized Lin Huiyin's favorite ritual from the West, the cultural salon, which she used to become the focus of men. There are some more obscure words, such as her writing that our wife has only one female friend, and that female friend is black and fat, and the wife just uses her to set off her thin and white. But why did Grandma Bingxin, who was so kind in this impression, evaluate Lin Huiyin in this way?
It may be that there are some women's jealousy in it, or it may be that the literati are light, or it may be that they are really unaccustomed to Lin Huiyin's entanglement story with three men, I am afraid that this is the point.
However, in addition to Bingxin, there is also a literary master Qian Zhongshu, who also once evaluated Lin Huiyin very unbeautifully. You know, he and his wife Yang Dai were once Lin Huiyin's neighbors, and they all said that neighbors were the closest people around them, and they were better than distant relatives at key moments, but the neighbor's evaluation was really not good. He first praised Lin Huiyin's approach in a very sharp way, but negated all of them in one sentence: "Her husband is the most tame and the least obstructive." ”
Obviously, the first few sentences seem to be in Quarlin Huiyin, and then the last sentence has changed a lot. The husband is tame, does not hinder things, what is the obstacle? I am afraid that it is also an allusion to Lin Huiyin's "unclean".
Although she is a goddess and a talented woman, there are still people who criticize her style of life. So in your mind, is she the talented goddess of the Republic of China, or what we now often call "high-grade green tea"?
