What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Qian Zhongshu satirized Lin Huiyin in the famous work "Cat": "Among all the famous wives, she looks the best, she is the most elegant and luxurious, the furnishings of her living room are the most exquisite, she invites guests the most, the dishes and refreshments are the most exquisite and rich, and her social travel is the most extensive." Moreover, his husband was the most tame and unhindrance. ”
Qian Zhongshu is really worthy of the originator of the poisonous tongue, and understates the phrase "the most tame and the least obstructive", portraying Lin Huiyin's husband Liang Sichengsheng as the image of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle".
(Liang Sicheng in his youth)
In real history, Liang Sicheng was indeed a humble gentleman, generous, tolerant, and even a little stoic. So when Lin Huiyin said, "I am very distressed, because I am in love with two people at the same time, one is you and the other is Jin Yuelin." Liang Sicheng's answer was: "You are a free person, I give you the right to choose."
Lin Huiyin is a woman with stars and the moon, even after marriage, it is the same, the blue face confidants around her, in addition to the admirer Jin Yuelin, there is also the old lover Xu Zhimo.
(Xu Zhimo)
At the beginning, in order to marry Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo did not hesitate to abandon his wife and son and divorced Zhang Youyi, but Lin Huiyin turned around and chose a good man Liang Sicheng. However, after Lin Huiyin married Liang Sicheng and Xu Zhimo also married Lu Xiaoman, the two still had each other in mind and had a close relationship. In this regard, Liang Sicheng acquiesced, while Lu Xiaoman was helpless.
The relationship between Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo is a typical friendship, the lovers are not enough, they tell each other their favorites and thoughts as confidants, but they do not cross the thunder pool half a step, and belong to the fourth kind of feeling beyond family, friendship and love. In lin huiyin and Xu Zhimo's own view, the feelings between them are pure, and the relationship between them is pure, but in the eyes of outsiders, such intimacy is undoubtedly ambiguous.
How ambiguous are Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo after marriage? This can be seen from The various performances of Lin Huiyin after Xu Zhimo's death.
(Lin Huiyin)
On November 19, 1931, Lin Huiyin held a lecture on Chinese architectural art for foreign envoys in the Peking Association and The Chapel, and Xu Zhimo specially took the "Jinan" postal plane to the north to celebrate the scene, resulting in a plane crash and the plane was destroyed and killed.
In the speech of the day, Lin Hui, because of her soul, repeatedly cast her eager eyes to the door, and everyone present knew that she was waiting for Xu Zhimo. She thought he must come back. But, after all, he did not come. The next day, when the news of Xu Zhimo's death came, Lin Hui immediately fainted and fell to the ground, unable to even cry bitterly.
After Xu Zhimo's death, Lin Huiyin wrote a bloody "Mourning Shima", expressing disbelief and infinite sorrow for Xu Zhimo's death. Subsequently, she wrote a letter to Hu Shi, pouring out her love and thoughts for Xu Zhimo, and directly used explicit words such as "I love him" in the letter, completely ignoring the fact that she was already a married woman.

What is even more talked about by later generations is that after Xu Zhimo's plane crash, Lin Hui, because he was always with him in another form, forced her husband Liang Sicheng to rush to Jinan, specially took a piece of the wreckage of the crashed plane, brought it back and hung it on the side of the bed, looked at it day and night, and saw things and people.
Thinking that Liang Sicheng is indeed generous enough, watching Lin Huiyin miss Xu Zhimo at the wreckage of the plane every day, I don't know how he feels? Hey, it's really not easy to be a gentleman who is praised by individuals, this degree of tolerance is indeed not something that ordinary men can do, no wonder Qian Zhongshu wants to write an article to satirize.
It is said that at that time, someone really asked Liang Sicheng: "Lin Huiyin hung the wreckage of Xu Zhimo's crashed plane on the bedside, don't you mind?" Liang Sicheng smiled indifferently and replied lightly: "If Hui Yin is not serious, he is not worthy of my love." Perhaps, only Liang Sicheng is the one who understands Lin Huiyin the most, and it is really respectable.
