What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
I once heard someone say this: "What someone fights for will be particularly attractive." "No one is perfect, everyone has advantages and disadvantages, when there is a good feeling for each other, they will also see each other's shortcomings as advantages, if the other party's admirers are more than one or two, you will also have the idea of "she is so perfect".
Lin Huiyin was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, his grandfather Lin Xiaoke was a jinshi during the Guangxu period, successively serving as a magistrate in Haining, Shimen, Renhe prefectures and counties in Zhejiang, his father Lin Changmin graduated from Waseda University in Japan and later served in the Beiyang government, Lin Huiyin's mother He Xueyuan was Lin Changmin's second wife.
He Xueyuan once had 3 children for Lin Changmin, one of which was a son, the Lin family saw that Lin Changmin had a successor, and was also satisfied, but the son was accidentally killed by He Xueyuan, and the youngest daughter died shortly after her death, so the Lin family did not give He Xueyuan a good look, and He Xueyuan's temper was not good, and he was gradually disliked by Lin Changmin.
Lin Changmin's third wife, Cheng Guilin, soon gave birth to a son for Lin Changmin, and Cheng Guilin had read some books, some knowledge, knew how to be a person, naturally very pleasing to the Lin family, He Xueyuan's bad temper did not change, so Lin Changmin drove He Xueyuan and her daughter Lin Huiyin to the backyard.
However, Lin Huiyin was smart and good at seeing people's faces, or got the love of his father, Lin Changmin was an enlightened person, so Lin Huiyin was also allowed to go to school, in 1920, 16-year-old Lin Huiyin followed his father to travel to Europe, increased his knowledge, and became fascinated by architecture, and Lin Huiyin met Xu Zhimo during this time.
At that time, Xu Zhimo was married, but in Xu Zhimo's heart, his wife who did not have much knowledge was far inferior to Lin Huiyin, if Lin Huiyin was a phoenix, his wife was a chicken, or a chicken that fell into the water.
In 1921, Lin Huiyin was about to return to China, and Xu Zhimo was eager to marry Lin Huiyin, and even though his wife was still two months pregnant, he filed for divorce and asked his wife to beat up the child. However, Lin Huiyin rejected Xu Zhimo, but did not break off contact.
In 1923, Xu Zhimo and others established the Crescent Moon Society in Beijing, Lin Huiyin often went to participate in the literary and artistic activities held by the Crescent Moon Society, and Lin Huiyin's side was also surrounded by many men, not only Xu Zhimo, the next year, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng, the eldest son of the late Qing reformer Liang Qichao, went to the United States to study.
In 1928, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng held a wedding ceremony at the Chinese Consulate General in Ottawa, where Liang Sicheng's brother-in-law was consul general, and returned to China in the same year to be employed at Northeastern University. In Lin Huiyin's life, in addition to Xu Zhimo and Liang Sicheng, there is a third man, who occupies a lot of weight.
Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng often held salon parties at home after marriage, exchanged literature together, etc., and Jin Yuelin, who was known as the "first person in the Chinese philosophical circle", was always a regular guest on the Liang family salon seat, and he was extremely envious of Lin Huiyin's character and talent, and Lin Huiyin also admired him very much, so the friendship between the two was very good.
And Jin Yuelin never married, some people say that he loves Lin Hui because of deep love, in April 1955, 51-year-old Lin Hui died of illness, at the memorial service, Jin Yuelin wrote a memorandum for Lin Huiyin: "A poetic thousand waterfalls, april days on the earth of eternity."
Seven years after Lin Huiyin's death, Liang Sicheng continued to marry Lin Su, a 27-year-old female student, despite the strong opposition of his family, and coincidentally, 13 years ago, Liang Sicheng was still Lin Su and Cheng Yingquan, and Lin Hui gave Lin Su and Cheng Yingquan a sum of money because of private sponsorship.
In 1958, when Cheng Yingquan was at his most difficult, Lin Su filed for divorce, and later Cheng Yingquan revealed to his relatives that when Lin Su signed the divorce, Cheng Yingquan only had two things to make her feel good, one was that Cheng Yingquan visited Eastern European countries in 1956 as a member of the Chinese architect delegation, which made Lin Su feel decent.
Second, Cheng Yingquan translated many good books and got a lot of manuscript fees. Cheng Yingquan's niece later recalled: "My uncle (at that time) was really difficult, the mother of her own child married her own teacher, everyone was in the same department, looking up and looking down to see ..."
In 1968, Cheng Yingquan committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake.
Lin Su and Liang Sicheng were kind and loving after marriage, although Liang Sicheng's children were very opinionated about this and did not often go to see their father, in January 1972, Liang Sicheng died of illness in Beijing, and it was Lin Su who accompanied Liang Sicheng in front of his bed.
In 2004, the centenary of Lin Huiyin's birth, Lin Su published "Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and Me", which triggered public discussion, some people accused, some people just understood, Lin Huiyin's younger brother Lin Xuan also expressed his views on the feelings between Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng, believing that there was no real love between Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng, and the married life of the two was actually full of contradictions.
However, after Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng got married, there was indeed a lot of gossip that made others talk about it, and it is said that once Liang Sicheng returned from abroad, Lin Huiyin said to him: "I am very distressed, because I am in love with two people at the same time, I don't know what to do." ”
Liang Sicheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed after listening to it, who was willing to hear such words from his wife,Even though Lin Huiyin was welcomed by many men, Liang Sicheng said to Lin Huiyin after thinking about it for a night: "You are free, if you choose Jin Yuelin, I wish you eternal happiness." ”
But Lin Huiyin did not propose a divorce to Liang Sicheng, but said a sweet word: "You have given me an unbearable weight in my life, and I will use my life to repay!" ”
