The writer Lin Yutang has three daughters, Lin Rushi, Lin Taiyi, and Lin Xiangru, and the first two names were changed when they were teenagers.
Lin Rusi's original name was Lin Fengru, nicknamed Ah Ti, and later Lin Yutang took the meaning of "deceased ru Sifu" and named her Lin Rusi.
Russ was obedient and accepted the name.
Later, because of emotional setbacks, Rusi suffered from mental illness and hanged himself at the age of 48, and indeed "died" early.
The name is not auspicious.
Lin Taiyi's original name was Lin Yuru, and later Lin Yutang planned to change her name to "Lin Wushuang".
Lin Taiyi objected, saying: This name cannot be married off as soon as it is heard, and there is no match for a lifetime.
Lin Yutang laughed and let her choose her own name.
Because she was the second daughter, she chose the word "B", and she couldn't think of another word, and Lin Yi was ugly.
Lin Yutang proposed "Taiyi Zhenren", so he named it "Lin Taiyi".
Later, Lin Taiyi married at the age of twenty-three, and then gave birth to two more children.
Lin Taiyi and her husband are both partners and colleagues, co-editing the magazine "Heavenly Wind".
Lin Taiyi was a prolific writer who later edited the Chinese edition of Reader's Digest for many years.
Career and affection double harvest.
It really can't be called "matchless".
The three daughters Lin Xiang are similar, this name Lin Yutang is very proud, because it is similar to "Lin Xiang", hoping that she is like Lin Xiang, with the talent of the world and the country.
Later, Lin Xiangru graduated from the Department of Chemistry at Columbia University and later entered Harvard University with a Doctorate in Biochemistry. After that, he served as the head of the Department of Chemistry of Hong Kong University Students for a long time, a first-class professor, and published more than 70 academic monographs.
Lin Xiangru was never married.
In the field of science, she is also a heavy minister like "Lin Xiangru".
Names are magical.
Behind every name, there are hopes and expectations.
And children, too, tend to move in the direction of their names.

Learning is like a forest.
It was as if it were the fate of three women, three paths to the future.
