Chen Jiaji
Xiao Yin married Tao Ping at the North China United Congress in 1948 at the age of 33.
What is less known is that before Xiao Yin married Tao Ping, two girls appeared in his life.
The first is the Gan girl from her hometown of Qingmei Bamboo Horse.
At that time, there was a girl in her hometown surnamed Gan, Xiao Yin (whose name was Zheng Wensheng at the time) liked her very much and confessed to her, but she did not like Zheng Wensheng, thinking that Zheng Wensheng was too poor, and Gan girl liked Luo Haiqing, a classmate of the more handsome Zheng Wensheng.
After Zheng Wensheng left his hometown, Luo Gan and Luo Gan married and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Later, Gan Girl died of illness.......
After liberation, Xiao Yin returned to his hometown of Longchuan many times, and every time he went back, he was accompanied by this Luo Haiqing classmate.
Xiao Yin was very good to his old classmate Luo Haiqing's family. The granddaughter of Gan's daughter came to Guangzhou from the countryside to find a job, and Xiao Yin also helped her, letting her go to her home to do miscellaneous work and give her a monthly salary.
Referring to Xiao Yin's story of Luo Haiqing and Gan Girl's family, it is necessary to mention Luo Huaijin, the son of Luo Gan and Gan. Luo Haiqing has great respect for his old classmate Xiao Yin, and also hopes that Xiao Yin can help his son Luo Huaijin. Xiao Yin wrote to Luo Huaijin many times to help him correct his attitude toward writing ideologically, "Literature cannot be used as a stepping stone to climb upwards, nor can it be used as a means to gain fame and fortune... Otherwise, you observe and summarize life, portray the character image, and even arrange the plot, and problems will occur. At the same time, he was asked to "honestly go deep into the practice of life" and that if "only from the language and writing, it is impossible to achieve any results."
Every time Xiao Yin returned to his hometown, Luo Huaijin would follow his father Luo Haiqing to receive Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin's words and deeds played a certain role in Luo Huaijin's growth. Later, Luo Huaijin became a reporter for Heyuan Daily and published a copy of "The Story of Xiao Yin"
