introduction:
Bing Xin once praised her as "very beautiful and very talented"; Shen Congwen said: "She is a very intelligent lady"; Hu Shi considered her to be "a great talented woman in China". The woman who has attracted many historical celebrities to praise and admire the boast is Lin Huiyin, a famous talented woman in the Republic of China.
Lin Huiyin is an elegant, indifferent, feminine and arrogant woman, she is not as crazy and persistent as Lu Xiaoman, fighting fire for the moth of love; nor is she as sensitive and pessimistic as Zhang Ailing, who is low to the dust for love, without complaint or regret. Lin Hui, because she has rare sanity and sobriety, will not be too lost in the world of love, even if she is moved by Xu Zhimo, Xu Zhimo also loves her very much.
But when she learned that her loved one had a family, she calmly and resolutely said goodbye and turned around. She plundered the beauty of the world, provoked all kinds of men to admire and obsess over her life, but still maintained the purity and beauty of the lotus. The world admires Lin Huiyin's legendary love of twists and turns, and it is not known that such a gentle woman born in the water town of Jiangnan is not a useless vase, but a female architect who has made outstanding contributions to China's architectural cause.
However, because she has been working with men who smoke for a long time, she is already weak and contracted a serious tuberculosis. But just before she was dying of illness, she used her faint breath to change "Si Cheng... Si Cheng", when he longed to see his husband again, he was rejected miserably, why is this?
First, Lang Cai's female appearance, a happy marriage
Lin Huiyin was born in Shuxiang Mendi, and his grandfather was a jinshi during the Guangxu period, and his family had a family origin. In the early years, Lin Hui, who traveled to Europe with his father and was deeply influenced and influenced by the female architects of the landlord, secretly decided to develop in the field of architecture. Later, Lin Hui, who had just opened his heart, was attracted by Xu Zhimo, who was very talkative and knowledgeable.
When Xu Zhimo abandoned his pregnant wife Zhang Youyi for him, Lin Huiyin firmly broke up and returned to China. She did not want to be the object of worldly insults, she only pursued the stability and plainness of a lifetime. Under the arrangement of the elders, Lin Huiyin married Liang Sicheng, the eldest son of Liang Qichao, the leader of the Penghu Reform Law, and the two could be described as talented and beautiful, and the heavens and the earth were created.
The husband and wife have gone to the United States to study together, Liang Sicheng majored in architecture, Lin Huiyin chose the fine arts department closely related to architecture, and after completing the study, the two went to Europe to specialize in ancient architecture. Then, the two stayed in China's Northeastern University to teach, at the same time, Lin Huiyin gave birth to the first child Liang Zaibing, the appearance of the daughter made the couple's love life more stable and reliable.
This heaven-made couple has the same hobbies and pursuits in life, the two of them investigate ancient buildings together, travel and make friends together, and even Jin Yuelin, who is obsessed with waiting for Lin Huiyin's life, has to sigh: "Lin Huiyin is active in his thinking and has many ideas, but on the idea of drawing, it is still necessary to see Liang Sicheng, and the two are really well combined!" ”
Deeply touched by the feelings of the two, Jin Yuelin finally fulfilled the lovers and gave them the blessing of "a gentleman on the beam and a beauty under the forest". Lin Huiyin and Xiang Sicheng have been together for decades, and the two are both a husband and wife who are stronger than Jinjian, but also like-minded friends and partners. Such a happy and happy marriage makes the world envious.
2. Serve the country and become infected with disease
Lin Huiyin is a strange woman who combines architecture and literature, and has achieved brilliant achievements in both fields. However, compared with literary creation, Lin Huiyin loves architecture more and devotes his life to it. Since 1930, Lin Huiyin and her husband have traveled all over the country to search and survey ancient buildings, which has been a long time of fifteen years.
During this period, Lin Huiyin and her husband spanned fifteen provinces, traveled to nearly 200 counties, surveyed more than 2,700 ancient buildings, and recorded their detailed data and data, which not only deepened the understanding of ancient buildings, but also made them fully aware of the importance and necessity of protecting ancient buildings.
In addition to site survey and research on ancient architecture, Lin Huiyin also wrote many papers in the field of architecture with her husband, such as "On Several Characteristics of Chinese Architecture", etc., becoming a pioneer and founder in the field of Chinese architectural history. Due to his long-term obsession with architectural research and often running around with her husband, Lin Huiyin's health deteriorated from childhood.
When they were inspecting ancient buildings in the field in Sichuan, the hot and humid environment and lack of food made the two people miserable, and they could not get timely medical treatment when they fell ill, and Lin Huiyin eventually suffered from lung disease. After Lin Huiyin gave birth, she still tirelessly dragged her weak body around to survey ancient buildings, painstakingly wrote architectural papers, and was invited to schools around the world to popularize and preach the relevant knowledge of architecture, and the overloaded Lin Huiyin eventually suffered from tuberculosis.
Third, the last wish was rejected
As early as 1930, Lin Hui went to Beiping for health reasons accompanied by Liang Sicheng to recuperate. A year later, Lin Huiyin's condition deteriorated severely and he was forced to transfer to Xiangshan for recuperation. In 1947, Lin Huiyin's condition improved after surgery, but she was full of enthusiasm for architecture, and she once again threw herself into the construction cause, especially after the founding of New China, she actively participated in the design process of the Hero Monument and the National Emblem.
However, the savior and inheritor of the great Traditional Chinese Cloisonné craft could no longer save himself. In 1955, Lin Hui fell unconscious from a colleague in Beijing, and Liang Sicheng, who was close to her, also contracted mild tuberculosis. Seeing his wife's repeated coma, increasingly emaciated, and more and more serious, Liang Sicheng was heartbroken, but he could not do anything.
Because both suffer from tuberculosis, the doctor isolated the couple's ward, but as long as Liang Sicheng's body could move, he would drag the sick body to his wife's side, quietly stay with her, recall the happy past of the two, and talk about a better future. However, the torment of illness and the blow of fate still completely destroyed Lin Hui's power born of The Sun.
On the night of March 31, 1955, Lin Huiyin, who knew that his limit was approaching, shouted her husband's name with all his strength and desperately, and the nurse rushed to hear the sound, and Lin Huiyin said intermittently in an extremely weak voice: "I want to see Si cheng, I have something to say to him." However, the nurse refused Lin Huiyin on the grounds that "it was late at night" and asked him to talk about it tomorrow.
However, Lin Huiyin's tomorrow could no longer come, and she said goodbye to the legendary and bumpy life with regret. In the early morning of April 1, the spring was bright, the swallows were whispering, and the flowers were blooming, but Lin Huiyin bid farewell to this April day on earth forever. And "I have something to say to him" has become Lin Huiyin's last words, and what she wants to say to Liang Sicheng has become a mystery and a regret for Liang Sicheng's life.
epilogue:
Lin Huiyin made an agreement with Liang Sicheng before his death: No matter who leaves this world first, the one who is alive will definitely design a tombstone for the other person. Lin Huiyin has many titles in this life, including writers, architects, poets, etc., but after repeated reflection, Liang Sicheng still carved the "Tomb of Architect Lin Huiyin" on the tombstone with a heavy heart.
Perhaps because the "architect" is the identity shared by the husband and wife, and Liang Sicheng also knows that Chinese architecture is Lin Huiyin's lifelong pursuit and love, when he carved this line, his heart also followed his wife into the ground, in another world forever guarding this elegant, intelligent, bright and beautiful woman.
