"Xu Zhimo's original love was not the real me, but the Lin Huiyin he imagined with the romantic emotions of a poet, and in fact I was not that kind of person." This is a passage of Lin Huiyin's response to the emotions between himself and Xu Zhimo, firm and sober, but in the eyes of the world, the relationship between the two people is unclear and confusing, and always lives in controversy.
Throughout his life, Xu Zhimo was bound to four women: Zhang Youyi, Lin Huiyin, Lu Xiaoman, and Ling Shuhua. The deepest intersection between Lin Huiyin and Ling Shuhua began with a struggle for Xu Zhimo's "legacy". Xu Zhimo had the habit of keeping a diary before he was born, and liked to record the affairs of himself and the people around him through words, pack them in an eight treasure chest, and store them in his friend Ling Shuhua all the time.
And this also opened the war between Lin Huiyin and Ling Shuhua. Obviously, in Xu Zhimo's diary, Lin Huiyin is an indispensable role, if these diaries are made public, perhaps about the two, those true and false rumors, such as Xu Zhimo's unrequited love, or the rumors that both sides have been warmly in love, can be confirmed. But at this time, Lin Huiyin was already Liang Sicheng's wife, as proud as Lin Huiyin, and he was also unwilling to get involved in these rumors.
In 1931, after Xu Zhimo was killed, Hu Shi, who was a good friend, proposed at Xu Zhimo's memorial service that Xu Zhimo's letters be sorted out and published. Lin Huiyin wanted to ask for a suitcase. Therefore, let Hu Shi come forward, lin Huiyin got all the English diaries, and told Hu Shi that she would keep them for her first.
Later, Lin Huiyin did not return as she promised, just look at it, "Concho's Diary" was not preserved, but was burned by Lin Huiyin, and the enmity and resentment of those years were finally sealed in history. For this reason, the Complete Works of Shima could not be published in the end, and Xu Zhimo's English diaries could not be found after Lin Huiyin's death.
