Old photos: Lu Xiaoman, 24, Lin Huiyin, 48, and Song Meiling, 83
In 1937, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling took a group photo with the ministers of various countries, and a group of foreigners looked at Soong Mei-ling, and she became the goddess of this group of men!
Soong Mei-ling was Chiang Kai-shek's right and left hand in diplomacy. The picture shows Chiang Kai-shek and his wife visiting India in 1942. The visit was to seek cooperation from Gandhi and Nehru to resist Japan, and Chiang expressed support for India's independence movement, but at the same time hoped that Gandhi would be vigilant against the ambitions of the Japanese army to invade India. Although Britain's position on Chiang Kai-shek was not pleased, due to the crisis of the European battlefield, it could only give priority to uniting with China to resist Japan. Subsequently, the Chinese and American air forces flew over the Himalayas to India, using India as China's largest international logistics base

[On October 3, 1926, 23-year-old Lu Xiaoman married 30-year-old Xu Zhimo, and the photo Lu Xiaoman wore a wedding dress of his own design, but Xu Zhimo behind him looked very shy. She is beautiful and stylishly dressed, and she is comparable to the current star. She was so talented that everyone who saw her lingered. Lu Xiaoman is a first-class dancer, proficient in English and French, can play the piano, and can also write beautiful calligraphy. So much talent is a rarity. No wonder the romantic poet Xu Zhimo was so obsessed with her. I think that Lu Xiaoman is in the vast sea of people, visiting my soul mate, getting my luck, not my life, and so on. Hu Shi also said, "Lu Xiaoman is a scenery that must not be seen. It can be seen that Lu Xiaoman's beauty and talent were recognized by many celebrities at that time.
In 1927, the 24-year-old Lu Xiaoman hid behind Tang Ying. Tang Ying and Lu Xiaoman at the opening ceremony of the cloud dress, Tang Ying wore a sleeveless fashion dress with a cylinder neck, a geometric gradient pattern print, the upper body was made into a vest style, no sleeves, directly exposing the shoulders and arms, which was quite daring to wear at that time.
This photograph was taken in the 1960s in Shanghai. In the photo, Lu Xiaoman has long since changed from a gorgeous beauty in the past to an old lady who has been weathered by wind and frost. Lu Xiaoman and Lin Huiyin are both famous beauties and talented women in the Republic of China period, and they have a special relationship with Xu Zhimo. In his later years, Lu Xiaoman had long-term asthma and lung disease, and his physical fitness was very poor. In 1965, Lu Xiaoman, who had been seriously ill for a long time, died at the age of 63.
Although the photographic technique at that time was somewhat poor, the image of the "goddess" was still dignified and atmospheric. In particular, the elegance of the look in the photo is a precipitate of thick accumulation. To this day, so many people only know her love story, but ignore her career achievements, she is a professor at Tsinghua University, a writer, China's first female architect, and has participated in and directed the design of the national emblem of new China.
This old photograph was taken in 1939 in Kunming, Yunnan. The woman standing in the middle of the photo is gentle and beautiful, dignified and beautiful. Her name is Lin Huiyin, and she is a great talented woman. At this time, she was attending the inauguration ceremony of the American Student Club of the U.S. Consulate in Kunming, Yunnan. Lin Huiyin and her husband Liang Sicheng left Beijing with their family after properly handling the research materials and literature, and they finally arrived in Kunming in January 1938 after a long journey of hardship and hardship.
