On April 12, 1924, the Indian cultural figure Tagore was invited by the Lectora Society to visit China. This was a major event in the Chinese ideological circles at that time, which attracted the attention of many people. However, during this period, Tagore also helped Xu Zhimo "match" the cause with Lin Huiyin, but little is known.
Before Tagore came to China, he proposed to hire Xu Zhimo as an interpreter. Xu Zhimo also attaches great importance to this matter, and he is not far away from his companionship throughout the whole process. In the more than 50 days since then, Tagore has traveled throughout most of China. At that time, because Lin Changmin was also a member of the reception group, Lin Huiyin also accompanied Tagore to some places. This time, it was also Xu Zhimo who met Lin Huiyin again after he was rejected three years ago, and although the times have changed, he still has his heart in mind.
During Tagore's visit to Beijing, May 8 coincided with his 64th birthday, and Xu Zhimo's newly established Crescent Society planned to perform his famous play "Zidra" as a birthday gift to wish him a birthday gift. Although the rehearsal time was short, the performance was a success. In the play, Lin Huiyin plays the princess Zidra, and Xu Zhimo plays the god of love with his naked upper body. In the play, there is a hidden emotional entanglement between Zidra and Eros, but under the divine will, Zidra and Eros are ultimately inseparable.
Tagore and Xu Zhimo have a close relationship and a deep friendship, and Xu Zhimo will confide in the old man if he has any heart, hoping that he can give him guidance. Xu Zhimo was trapped by love, tagore naturally knew, so he volunteered to become a moon elder, hoping to match the marriage between Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin with the strength of thinning.
Of course, Tagore's enthusiasm is not only the hot sausage of the old man's ancient road, but also a reason that the world knows.
By chance in the early 1920s, Xu Zhimo, who was studying in Europe, met Lin Huiyin at the Association of International Leagues in London. Lin Huiyin was studying at a girls' secondary school in London at that time, which was the age of a flower, and she looked as delicate as a flower and had a good literary accomplishment. There are not only the relics of traditional Chinese bridesmaids, but also the generous demeanor of Western women. She fell in love with Shima at first sight and both fell in love. But then Zhang Youyi's arrival woke up the couple in love. Shima decides to divorce Youyi, but Lin Huiyin returns to China with his father, leaving Shima alone. Xu Zhimo then went to India to see Tagore and confided in his love and distress, and the weathered poet was also very appreciative of Lin Huiyin, so he was willing to "match" their causes.
Although Tagore personally went out on the horse, Lin Huiyin still rejected Tagore's kindness, which made Tagore regretful. So before leaving China, Tagore gave Lin Huiyin a short poem.
Tagore
The blue of the sky,
Fell in love with the turquoise of the earth.
The breeze between them sighed, alas!
At this time, Tagore had already seen the hidden undercurrent surging under the light surface between Xu Zhimo, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin.
Just after Tagore got up and left China. In June, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin went to the United States on the other side of the ocean to study at the University of Pennsylvania. The driving force behind this is Liang Sicheng's father and Xu Zhimo's teacher - Liang Qichao. He knew that Xu Zhimo was still in love with Lin Huiyin, and he was also afraid that the two old feelings would rekindle, so that the Liang family could not get off the stage, so he sent Liang and Lin to study in the United States, avoiding Xu Zhimo, and wanted to wait for them to forget about the matter before holding a wedding, in fact, this is also a wise move.
Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng
After Xu Zhimo bid farewell to Tagore and learned that Liang and Lin had gone to the United States, he rushed to Lushan and devoted himself to creating there for several months. Xu Zhimo is a person who likes to be lively, and during this time, he did not socialize with people who knew each other until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A few years later, Lin Huiyin's son Liang Congyin said that his mother Lin Huiyin believed that Xu Zhimo regarded her as the "Angela" in his mind, and that she was not such a woman at all. Every man has a goddess in his heart, and when the goddess in reality does not meet the image of the goddess expected in the man's heart, the man's view of the goddess collapses.
This may be the reason why Lin Huiyin rejected Xu Zhimo.
