Lin Huiyin confessed in a heavy tone to her husband Liang Sicheng: "I fell in love with two men at the same time. However, Liang Sicheng's reaction after hearing it was beyond her expectations.
He took a deep breath, with firmness and tolerance in his eyes, and said to her gently: "I can't imprison you selfishly, no matter who you choose, I will bless you." ”
Lin Huiyin was an outstanding female architect in mainland China, born in 1904 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Her grandfather, Lin Xiaoqun, was born as a Jinshi, and her grandmother was a talented woman. Because of this, Lin Huiyin has received a high-quality education since he was a child, and has the opportunity to travel overseas to broaden his horizons. Fascinated by the architecture of the European Renaissance there, she firmly embarked on the path of architecture.
And her husband Liang Sicheng is also from a famous family, and both of them have the experience of staying abroad. Their common ideals and interests were architecture, and they founded the architecture departments of Northeastern University and Tsinghua University.
But it is hard to ignore that the great philosopher Jin Yuelin is also deeply in love with Lin Huiyin. In order to see Lin Huiyin more, Jin Yuelin put down his body and asked his friend Liang Sicheng to live next to them. Liang Sicheng agreed without saying a word.
In the daily life of the neighborhood, Jin Yuelin often visited Lin Huiyin's house to discuss architecture together. His wisdom and insight always give Lin Huiyin new inspiration. However, one day, Lin Huiyin confessed to Liang Sicheng: "I seem to be in love with two men at the same time." Liang Sicheng's heart was hit by a hammer, but he knew his responsibilities and responsibilities as a husband.
After a night of thinking, he gently said to Lin Huiyin the words that would determine their lives: "I can't selfishly imprison you, no matter who you choose, I will bless you." Lin Huiyin told Jin Yuelin what Liang Sicheng said. Jin Yuelin was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "He is the one who really loves you, and he is the one who is worthy of your life, I should quit." ”
Since then, Jin Yuelin has buried that love deep in his heart and has never mentioned it again. But he has always silently guarded Lin Huiyin as a friend. He regarded Lin Huiyin's two children as his own, and not only took the initiative to help take care of them, but also served as the children's English Xi teacher. The children respected him very much and affectionately called him "Daddy". Although life is full of twists and turns, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng have always walked hand in hand. Together, they trekked through mountains and rivers to find Tang Dynasty architecture, and devoted themselves to the study of ancient Chinese architecture without fear of hardship. Their love has stood the test of time and has become an eternal story.
In the war-torn era, Lin Huiyin was as fragile as autumn leaves in the midst of displacement and suffered from tuberculosis. She was once peerless and beautiful, but now she can only lie on the bed weakly, her body haggard. However, even in such a predicament, her best friend Jin Yuelin has always guarded her.
Jin Yuelin worked tirelessly every day in the midst of displacement, just to visit Lin Huiyin. He took care of her sick with the most delicate care. In order to supplement Lin Huiyin's nutrition, Jin Yuelin even raised chickens and planted vegetables.
His dedication and persistence are like a warm sun, illuminating Lin Hui's days in pain. In 1955, Lin Hui died of illness, and after Jin Yuelin learned the news, he seemed to have lost the pillar of his soul, and suddenly collapsed in the chair, his eyes glazed. He was in a state of endless grief and could not extricate himself.
Since then, the optimistic and cheerful Jin Yuelin has disappeared, and he has become reticent and even reluctant to participate in social events. Seven years after Lin Huiyin's death, Liang Sicheng decided to marry Lingzhu, who was 21 years younger than him. On the day of the wedding, Jin Yuelin staggered to Lin Huiyin's tomb with a bottle of wine. He chattered at the tombstone, and drank bitterly while missing Lin Huiyin.
His heart has been overwhelmed with grief and can no longer accept the warmth of others. Jin Yuelin never married, and never stepped into Liang Sicheng's house again. He waited for Lin Huiyin all his life. This affection made Lin Huiyin's husband Liang Sicheng have to admit frankly that the person who loves Lin Huiyin the most is actually Jin Yuelin. This love has been deeply engraved in Jin Yuelin's bones and has become the imprint of his life.
