Lin Huiyin's ancestral home is Fujian, born in Hangzhou, is the daughter of a famous door, although it is counted out, but in the feudal dynasty will become the past era, in a relatively open-minded big family, this identity does not prevent her from gaining the love of her father Lin Changmin, but also does not prevent her from becoming a well-known Talented Daughter of the Republic of China and a generation of legendary goddesses. She is talented and beautiful, and she really has the capital to become a goddess.
But don't think that Lin Huiyin's life is very beautiful, she also has the troubles of ordinary people. During the Republic of China period, there were not many women with higher education, and women like her who studied "combined East and West" generally had a family as support. Lin Huiyin's grandfather was a Qing Dynasty Hanlin who was a scholar in the same discipline as Kang Youwei, and his father was also a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, with family wealth and culture and influence, it is reasonable to say that Lin Huiyin, as a lady of everyone, should live a very smooth and happy life.
This is not the case. Now when we mention Lin Huiyin, the first thing that comes to mind is that in addition to her husband Liang Sicheng, she also has a scandal with Xu Zhimo and Jin Yuelin (and Xu Zhimo is indeed not pure friendship, but the legend of Jin Yuelin is not very credible), and she has also been rated as a "green tea" character by many people, there are many people who like her, but there are many who hate her.
Many people are fond of celebrity anecdotes, Lin Huiyin as a woman, the discussion undertaken is more, "lenient to treat men and strict and lawful women" is a Chinese cultural tradition, if you remove some prejudices to analyze Lin Huiyin, the problem she faces is actually no different from the general public:
Childhood was very depressed; during the love period, and the future in-laws did not handle the relationship well, was disliked by the future mother-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law; the literary world is not quiet for her, Qian Zhongshu, Bing Xin and other people have written articles that secretly satirize her, the former wrote "Cat", the latter wrote "The Wife's Living Room", are the materials for posterity to study the gossip of the Republic of China, and it is also the reason for Lin Huiyin's controversy.
In Bingxin's pen, the image is born out of Lin Huiyin's "that wife" is quite vain, likes to hold parties at home, invites a large number of men to the appointment, those people are all sought after by her, and even want to start an affair with her, regardless of the fact that she is married, and she is very satisfied with her charm, circling between various men, with ease.
And Qian Zhongshu's "that wife" also has a wide range of friends, a bit like the social flowers of the literary and art circles, "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 has the most guests, the dishes and refreshments of the guests are the most exquisite and rich, and her friends are the widest." And her husband is the most tame and unhindling. ”
We know that words are a very exquisite thing. Really praising a person is intentional, sincere praise often does not need flowery words, and with so many sentences with "most" stacked, it looks like exaggeration, in fact, it is ironic, especially the last sentence, saying how her husband does not get in the way, this time the previous false exaggerations are overturned, very spicy, the wife's vanity and "non-specificity" jumped in front of the eyes, I have to say that the literary master's skills are extraordinary.
If you look at it this way, Lin Huiyin has undoubtedly become an emotionally "green tea" like existence. Coincidentally, the person who hated Lin Huiyin also had her mother-in-law and sister-in-law at that time, as for the reason, please continue to look down.
On May 7, 1923, Liang Sicheng was in a car accident. Lin Hui, as a lover, is supposed to be nothing to go to the hospital to take care of and visit. And Liang Sicheng had physical problems because of this, Lin Huiyin did not want to give up on him, but did his best to comfort him in the hospital and encourage him, help him turn over and wipe his sweat, and bring tea and water, which touched Liang Sicheng, and also touched the future father-in-law Liang Qichao.
Only Lin Huiyin's future mother-in-law, Liang Qichao's wife Li Huixian, and her eldest daughter Liang Sishun were not touched. Li Huixian is a real lady, married to Liang Qichao to marry, so Liang Qichao has always been very respectful of his wife. By the way, she also had the talent to learn, to read and write, and although her talent was less obvious, she was definitely not a traditional eunuch lady who was completely uneducated.
Helplessly, Li Huixian is not like Lin Huiyin's "combination of East and West", in her opinion, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng are not yet married, they are not counted as people of the Liang family, so nameless and indiscriminately close to men, is not there a suspicion of frivolity and debauchery? Thinking back to Lin Huiyin and his son before they made love, they also had such a scandal with xu Zhimo, their husband, who had a wife, and this problem was even more serious.
Now it is speculated that Li Huixian's attitude of not liking Lin Huiyin must have affected Liang Sishun. It is very likely that there is also the reason that Liang Qi is more than fond of Lin Huiyin and must be her daughter-in-law. When Lin Huiyin was 14 years old, he and his eldest brother Liang Sicheng first met, which was carefully arranged by Liang Qichao; Xu Zhimo pursued Lin Huiyin madly, and it was Liang Qichao who stood up to block him and successfully let Lin Huiyin choose his son.
When Liang Qichao also wrote to his daughter Liang Sishun, he said that Lin Huiyin was his "other daughter" and "the success of the second time", which was not a general compliment! Unfortunately, no matter how the old father reconciled, the relationship between Liang Sishun and Lin Huiyin has not changed much, in 1928, Lin Huiyin became the daughter-in-law of the Liang family (when the mother-in-law Li Huixian had died 4 years ago), and in the 1930s, Liang Sishun would be angry because his daughter often ran to Lin Huiyin.
According to Lin Huiyin's correspondence with his only girlfriend, Fei Weimei, Liang Sishun did not want his daughter to be infected with the "radical view of marriage" like Lin Huiyin and Jin Yuelin. A lot of tears, this is a "new and old conflict"! Lin Huiyin, who has received a Western-style education and has traveled to Europe and the United States, how can she care about the old exquisiteness of those men and women, and her mind is all focused on her career.
Another bold guess, Li Huixian and Liang Sishun do not like Lin Huiyin, and may also be because Lin Huiyin is not good at doing housework, not a traditional "good daughter-in-law". So it seems that Li and Liang mother and daughter feel that Lin Hui is not clean because of her feelings (in modern words, green tea), in fact, it is inevitable that she has been wronged, even if she is a sought after goddess of the Republic of China, there are also short troubles in parents.
