"If you embrace me, hurt me to the bone, and protect me thoroughly, I am willing to blindfold my eyes and not distinguish whether you are a human being or a ghost, and if you treat me sincerely or perfunctorily, my heart is like a mirror." --Lin Huiyin
On March 21, 1928, Lin Huiyin and the architect Liang Sicheng got married in Vancouver, Canada, the two were right at home, and they had the order of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker could be described as a good couple, a fairy couple, and at that time it was a good love and marriage that everyone envied.
In 1955, Lin Huiyin finally passed away after fifteen years of fighting against illness. Liang Sicheng was grief-stricken, personally cast an inscription for his beloved wife, and the two of them have been together for twenty-seven years, and Liang Sicheng gave Lin Huiyin meticulous love and care.
However, it is hard to imagine that only in the seventh year after Lin Huiyin's death, Liang Sicheng insisted on marrying Lin Su, a twenty-seven-year-old student who was twenty-seven years younger than him, despite the persuasion of his relatives and friends. At the time, many people thought it was disrespectful to Lin Huiyin's blasphemy. But after tasting the ten years between them, why did Liang Sicheng marry Lin Su?
Lin Su's past
Born in 1928 in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, Lin Su loved literature since childhood, finished a girls' high school in Shanghai, and was later admitted to St. John's University in Shanghai and Jinling Women's College in Nanjing, but her family was just a family of ordinary public officials and could not support the cost of support.
In 1948, Lin Su went to Beijing and entered the preparatory class of Tsinghua University. In 1949, Lin Su married Ying Quan, an assistant of the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and in the same year, Lin Su met Lin Huiyin, an architectural talent under the line of her father's introduction, and Lin Huiyin would personally tutor Lin Su's English class every Tuesday afternoon.
In 1953, Lin Su was transferred to the Department of Architecture at Tsinghua University to work in the Chinese architecture group led by Liang Sicheng. Professor Liang Sicheng's elegant conversation and profound knowledge made Lin Su feel admired, which was the beginning of their fate.
In 1957, with the implementation of the Double Hundred Policy, the domestic political situation at this time had deteriorated day by day, and Lin Su's husband Cheng Yingquan was full of personality, talent, and arrogance, and he was full of courage and courage for like-minded people and disdainful of villains who did not enter the stream.
It was such a straight-standing person that at a panel discussion in 1957, Cheng Yingquan fiercely hugged his friends and was labeled a rightist. Faced with this false accusation, Lin Su, as a wife, not only did not comfort her wronged husband, but also fiercely proposed divorce.
In the face of the world's accusations, Lin Su slyly argued: "I am only for the good of my children, if the children grow up and ask me why I did not draw a line with the rightists in the first place, then how should I answer?" ”
She just used the child as an excuse, in fact, Lin Su was removed from her position because her husband was a rightist, so she would resolutely divorce and draw a clear line, and she vividly interpreted "husband and wife are originally forest birds, and the great disaster is coming to fly separately".
Insisting on marrying Lin Su
In 1962, the seventh year of Lin Huiyin's death, Liang Sicheng announced that he would marry Lin Su, and as soon as the matter came out, it could be said that the pot exploded in the literary world. Most people were opposed, and Liang Sicheng's relatives and friends were even more obstructive.
His close friend Zhang Xiruo even more directly said: "If you marry her, I will break off relations with you." Shen Congwen, a literary master whom Liang Sicheng has always admired, also criticized: "Liang Sicheng insults the atmosphere of the literary world! ”
Everyone is so opposed to this family affair, not only because Lin Su's personal moral quality is not good, but also because Lin Wei is Lin Su's teacher and has funded Lin Su, and has been kind to Lin Su, and Lin Su's former husband Cheng Yingquan is Liang Sicheng's student. Whether from a personal or moral point of view, this marriage is nonsense.
Lin Su's wind evaluation is even worse, her behavior of abandoning her husband in times of crisis makes everyone at that time shameful, and even Cheng Yingquan later commented that Lin Su is a woman who loves vanity, and her happiest time is when she visits abroad with her husband and receives Cheng Yingquan's writing fee.
Just such a woman who covets fame and fortune and loves vanity is actually a candidate for Liang Sicheng's remarriage, no wonder that relatives and friends are unanimously opposed, even if Lin Huiyin Zhuyu is in front, but Lin Su's popularity is not a door-to-door household, right.
But helplessly, even if it is the unanimous obstruction of everyone, but Liang Sicheng is still like a magic obstacle, insisting on marrying Lin Su as a wife, Liang Sicheng paid a tragic price, his reputation also turned sharply, and his friends directly broke up.
So does Liang Sicheng really like Lin Su so much? For such a woman who loves vanity can give up all? After ten years of marriage, it is not difficult for us to peek into the details and know the absurdity of this love affair!
Ten years of marriage, nothing
Everyone believes that Lim Su married Liang Sicheng for fame and status, and "the first lady of architecture" is her goal. After marriage, she devoted herself to Liang Sicheng and shared her worries and difficulties, but for Liang Sicheng, marrying her was only for the needs of life.
After all, after Lin Huiyin's death at that time, Liang Sicheng not only had to support his parents, but also Lin Huiyin's parents. It is inevitable that he will not take good care of himself, and he still has a job outside, the children are still waiting for life, and there must be a hostess at home to take care of it.
Lin Su did meet Liang Sicheng's expectations, and later Liang Sicheng was persecuted by the situation, and his status plummeted, at this time, Lin Su did not choose to leave, but did not give up, and did his best to take care of the sick Liang Sicheng, with a monthly salary of 62 yuan to support the whole family.
It is even more loving to house and Wu, trying to meet Liang Sicheng's mother's desire to eat braised pork, and Liang Sicheng has gained a long-lost warmth in this marriage, and in the marriage with Lin Huiyin, he will be considerate of Lin Huiyin in every detail, always creating surprises for her from time to time, and taking care of his wife's living life.
In contrast, in his marriage to Lin Su, Liang Sicheng got more, and Lin Su seemed to play the role of a nurse. In the past ten years of marriage, the economic power of the Liang family has always been in the hands of Liang Sicheng, and Lin Su only has the empty title of a master mother.
Even Lin Su's two children did not receive preferential treatment, they went to the Labor University, had no connection with higher education, and the stepfather Liang Sicheng did not open the back door at all. For Lin Su's mother, Liang Sicheng was extremely disgusted and only allowed her to come to Liang's house once a month to take a hot bath.
On his deathbed in 1972, Liang Sicheng finally left only one sentence: "These years, thanks to Lin Su." "It counts as an encouragement to recognize Lin Su's efforts."
brief summary:
Liang Sicheng's death brought Lin Su a fatal blow, what he left lin su was only an old and small mess, the house Lin Su had no ownership only the right to live, ten years of marriage, this moment is not difficult to find, Liang Sicheng really loves Lin Su? Maybe they don't love her at all, and marry her just for the needs of family life.
