It is like a cup of tea, slowly immersed in clear green by time, elegant and mellow, making people love speechless.

Every city has its own story. And her story makes an ancient and natural city, with a variety of styles and vitality. Like a quiet and beautiful lotus flower, exhausting all the affection in life, just waiting for someone, listening carefully, her heart.
Hangzhou, June 10, 1904. Luguan Alley is as simple and peaceful as ever, and the light aroma of gardenias wafts in the air. The owner of the Lin Mansion, the eldest son of Taishou Lin Xiaojiao, the twenty-eight-year-old Lin Changmin, was not at home at this time. He is busy with a group of like-minded friends for his political ideals, mingling with passionate constitutional celebrities, and cheering for their ideas with the barrel of his pen. He was busy all day and rarely asked about family affairs, even his wife, who was about to give birth. Suddenly, a baby's clear cry broke the hot tranquility of this majestic official mansion. This cry sounded like heaven to Taishou and his wife You Shi - Lin Xiaoxun's eldest granddaughter, Changmin's eldest daughter was born.
She is the first child of the Lin family, smart and well-behaved, and is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hands by her elders. She is also the daughter of a concubine, who gathers with her father less and separates more, and guards her grudge mother. Lin Huiyin's mother He Shi was not favored, and after his father married the third wife Cheng Shi, the relationship between his mother and father became more estranged.
Life is like that, everything can't be perfect. The seemingly happy and quiet life also hides a bitter undercurrent, just like the appearance of flowers and moons, which will eventually not be appreciated by the spring hatred and autumn sorrow, and will surely wither alone. It is said that every woman with a strong heart has experienced a relationship that can make her realize. For Lin Huiyin, the marriage without feelings between her parents opened her early wisdom. In the face of the layers of undercurrents in the family, her only way is to read, and find her own world in those clear and bright words.
In 1909, five-year-old Lin Huiyin moved with his family to a house in Cai Guan Lane, where he lived for three years. The time is short, but it has laid an unshakable foundation for the life of a generation of talented women. Huiyin's aunt, Lin Zemin, became her enlightenment teacher. Lin Zemin was a lady in the late Qing Dynasty, who received private education at an early age, and was worthy of being proficient in piano and chess books and paintings, and his poetry and song talents were not left behind. It was this knowledgeable and gentle aunt who taught Hui Yin to read and write. Most importantly, Lin Huiyin fell in love with Shuxiang because of Lin Zemin's enlightenment.
But Lin Huiyin's childhood was not simply happy, and her family doomed her to not communicate with adults with words and deeds appropriate to this age. Her mother He Xueyuan complained because she did not get her father's favor and the family's affirmation. At that time, she lived in the backyard with her mother, and every time she happily returned from the front yard, He Xueyuan would count her daughter endlessly. Since then, Hui Yin's heart has been intertwined with conflicting feelings of love and resentment towards his parents. She loves her elegant and handsome and talented father, but blames him for being cold and ruthless to her mother; She also loves her mother, who gives her warmth and love, and complains that she always pushes her father further away in her resentment.
The young emblem carries a heavy burden imposed by adults. She not only has to be a smart and clever "talented girl" in front of her grandparents and father, but also has to be a well-behaved daughter who satisfies her in front of her mother. Years later, Lin Huiyin wrote a novel called "Embroidery", about a well-behaved girl embroidered living in an unfortunate family, her mother was cowardly, narrow-minded and incompetent, her father snubbed his wife and married his second wife. Embroidery was torn between her parents' disputes all day long, and eventually died of illness. Embroidery's immature heart hides deep emotions of love and hate for parents, and helplessness. How is all this not a portrayal of Lin Huiyin's childhood life.
He has fought with lung disease for most of his life, and Lin Huiyin, who has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, also clearly understands this. She has well-documented feelings in her life, even if she is like a fairy couple with Liang Sicheng, which period is the true consummation? How can there be no regrets? Even if she is peerless, she is just an ordinary woman who eats and eats the fireworks of the world, and she has had melancholy and hesitation, but she has finally managed to put it away freely and knows how to choose.
