"A poetic Thousand Waterfalls, An Ancient April Day on Earth" - Jin Yuelin
When it comes to Lin Huiyin, I believe many people will think of Lin Huiyin's poem "You are a April Day on Earth" that depicts the population, and people have been arguing about who this poem was written for. Some people say that it was written for his newborn son Liang Congjie, and some people say that it was written for Xu Zhimo, a talented son who died because of a plane crash. But in fact, it is not very important to write for anyone, this poem is actually the embodiment of Lin Hui's talent, temperament and charm.
Lin Huiyin's talent depends on the words and deeds of the elders in the family, Lin Huiyin was born in a family of scholars, and his grandfather Lin Xiaoke was born as a jinshi and served as an official in many places in Zhejiang. His father, Hayashi Nagamin, graduated from Waseda University in Japan and was highly accomplished in poetry and calligraphy, and served as attorney general.
Because of the busy work, Lin Huiyin lived with his grandparents during his childhood, and was personally taught by his uncle Lin Juemin, so Lin Huiyin's childhood was colorful and fulfilling. In 1920, when Lin Huiyin was 14 years old, Lin Huiyin followed his father through Europe and gained a lot of insight.
It was during this time in Europe that Lin Huiyin developed an interest in architecture, in part because of the influence of London landladys. The landlady is an architect who likes the clever Lin Huiyin very much, so she taught Lin Huiyin a lot of architectural knowledge.
In 1921, Lin Huiyin returned to China with his father and continued his studies at Peihua Girls' High School. During his travels in Europe, Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo became acquainted, and the two had a very short relationship, lin Huiyin took the initiative to leave Xu Zhimo after learning that Xu Zhimo had a family. After returning to China, he became acquainted with Liang Qichao's eldest son Liang Sicheng under the introduction of his father.
Xu Zhimo's love for Lin Huiyin was like a brilliant sunshine, dazzling but could not catch me. Jin Yuelin's love for Lin Huiyin was like an umbrella protecting Lin Huiyin but also forgetting himself. Only Liang Sicheng did not meet one step earlier and one step later, they have common hobbies, the same origin, can be described as a pair made in heaven.
In June 1924, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng went to the United States to study architecture, and in the year of graduation, they formed a connection, and the husband and wife both returned to the country. From 1930 to 1945, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin jointly visited 15 provinces and more than 190 counties in China, surveyed and mapped 2738 ancient buildings, and it was their investigation that was recognized by the whole world and the whole country, so that they were protected and not destroyed in war.
However, Lin Huiyin was also tired from years of running and working, and his health deteriorated day by day, and later he also contracted lung disease and often lay in the hospital. Nevertheless, she worked hard and was involved in important designs, such as the design of the national emblem, the design of the Monument to the People's Heroes, and the design of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
Because of this, Lin Huiyin died of lung disease in 1955 and was buried as an architect who made outstanding contributions to the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, which symbolizes supreme glory. However, in the special period, some unscrupulous enterprises grasped the historical problems and smashed Lin Huiyin's tombstone.
However, Lin Huiyin's women Liang Zaibing and Liang Congjie do not advocate restoration, not because they are not filial piety, but the children know that even if they are repaired, it is difficult to ensure that they will not smash again, this time it is only a tombstone, and next time I don't know what extreme behavior will be done. It wasn't until a few years later that the storm passed. They only repaired it again, but there are always traces of damage on the tombstone, which is also a scar of the times.
