In the difficult storms of the last century, Lin Huiyin Liang Sicheng and his wife were definitely the most outstanding scholars at that time. In the face of the instability of life, they still pay for their persistence. In more than 10 years, they have traveled to 15 provinces on the mainland, surveyed and protected 2738 ancient buildings, so that the precious traces of these histories and the essence of the architectural world can continue to shine for the world.
Liang Sicheng was born in 1901, lin Huiyin was born in 1904, they are both outstanding architects in the mainland, and they have worked hard for the protection of ancient buildings all their lives. They left many designed machine Android works, and also published works such as "History of Chinese Architecture", and Liang Sicheng opened the Department of Architecture for Tsinghua University, and made countless contributions in his life.
But what no one could have predicted was that these two brilliant scholars, who insisted on architecture even if they were seriously ill and needed to wear a scaffold to walk, had a very awkward relationship with their descendants. Among Liang Sicheng's descendants, his grandchildren did not have the surname Liang, and it was not until his great-granddaughter that the surname was revived and became a very familiar world celebrity. What's going on behind this?
Liang Sicheng and his wife have a son and a daughter. In 1929 in Beiping, their eldest daughter Liang Zaibing was born, and 4 years later, his younger brother Liang Congjie also came to this world. The sisters and brothers received a very good education from an early age, and even if their lives were unstable, their parents still did their best to raise them into talents.
Her sister, Liang Zaibing, graduated from Peking University and became an excellent journalist at Xinhua News Agency, often traveling to and from various countries for news reports. His younger brother, Liang Congjie, graduated from the History Department of Peking University in 1954 and devoted his life to historical research and education, and after 1993, he began to devote himself to the cause of environmental protection, doing his best to contribute to society.
The family of four has always been an extremely kind and beautiful family, but everything ended after Lin Hui's death due to illness in 1955. The two children are immersed in pain and cannot extricate themselves, and their feelings for their mother are incomparably deep. But what they never expected was that in 1962, just 7 years after the death of their mother, their father actually married Lin Su, a female student who was 27 years younger than himself, and his attitude was unusually resolute.
This was unacceptable to both the sisters and brothers, especially Liang Zaibing and the stepmother, who directly caused the family to be broken after a fierce conflict broke out because of Lin Hui's photo. After this, the sisters and brothers went to find their own lives, and they were getting farther and farther away from their father.
Liang Congjie's first wife, Zhou Rumei, bore him a son, Liang Jian, but eventually after the divorce, in order to continue the incense for the Zhou family, the son changed his name to Zhou Zhibing and lived with the Zhou family from then on. In the second marriage, he got a daughter Liang Fan. But in the end, this girl could not stand the pressure brought about by the fame of her ancestors, and chose to change her name to Fang Fan and live an ordinary life. Her sister Liang Zaibing married Yu Hang, who was also a journalist, and since then there has not been a single child surnamed "Liang" in their descendants.
It was not until the time of Liang Sicheng's great-grandchildren that a daughter from Liang Congzhi's eldest son, Zhou Zhibing, was born. The girl, who has lived in the United States since she was 7 years old, did not hesitate to change back to the long-dormant "Liang" surname after learning the family story. She has very good ability, in 2013 as Liang Sicheng's great-granddaughter once participated in the Shanghai International Yuanyuan Ball, won the title of "Yuanyuan of the Year", and was known to everyone.
Just as the so-called "family has a difficult scripture", even outstanding scholars such as Liang Sicheng and his wife have not been able to handle their relationship with their children all their lives. But in any case, the family's surname still needs to be passed on, after all, he not only means the connection between parents and children, but also represents the once beautiful family affection and memories.
