Preface
When it comes to the Republic of China, you will think of the ups and downs of talented and beautiful people, or the war-torn era when warlords fought and bandits were rampant.
But no matter what, the countless masters and celebrities who emerged during this period, and the romantic stories between them, also made some people yearn for a little.
So today, let's put aside the achievements of the talented girl Lin Huiyin, and talk about her emotional entanglement with three men, Liang Sicheng, Xu Zhimo and Jin Yuelin.
Xu Zhimo's romance disgusted Mr. Lu Xun
During the Republic of China, the scolding war between Mr. Lu Xun and Xu Zhimo was very intense.
Xu Zhimo was born in a very wealthy family, he has no concept of money, and he has lived a very smooth life, and it is estimated that the most unpleasant thing is that he pursues Lin Huiyin.
Therefore, Xu Zhimo, who is high above, cannot see the suffering of the world, which can be seen from his works, which show the characteristics of freshness, subtlety and elegance.
Mr. Lu Xun, on the other hand, was a literati, but he was iron-clad, worried about the country and the people, and worked hard to change China's poverty and backwardness. His works are full of power, and he hopes to awaken the national consciousness through the brush.
So when Xu Zhimo's pursuit of Lin Hui was fruitless, and his lovelorn poems were created, Mr. Lu Xun deeply felt Xu Zhimo's pretentiousness and pretentiousness, so he publicly criticized him and scolded him for being a "hooligan".
In Mr. Lu Xun's opinion, Xu Zhimo is simply a hypocrite, he already has a wife Zhang Youyi, but he also hooked up with his friend's wife Lu Xiaoman, and pursued Lin Huiyin even more blatantly.
Therefore, Mr. Lu Xun was dismissive of Xu Zhimo.
So, what was Lin Huiyin's attitude towards Xu Zhimo at that time?
Xu Zhimo's love is bold and passionate
Xu Zhimo is seven years older than Lin Huiyin. The fate of the two also followed until 1920, when Lin Huiyin had just turned 16 years old, he traveled to Europe with his father Lin Changmin and was admitted to St. Mary's College.
In October of that year, Xu Zhimo went to the University of London School of Economics and Political Science to study for a doctorate, where he and Lin Huiyin met.
Xu Zhimo is worthy of being a romantic talent, he likes Lin Huiyin regardless of it, even if he is already a wife.
As we all know, Lin Huiyin likes architecture, but her literary achievements are also extraordinary, and Xu Zhimo's talent also makes Lin Huiyin appreciate it very much.
Together, the two are more like confidants, discussing literature together and reciting poetry in English together. It is difficult for two young souls not to resonate emotionally in the day and night together.
People who are familiar with Lin Huiyin know that Lin Huiyin is a person who is more rational than emotional, and she feels Xu Zhimo's passionate pursuit of her, but she also knows that Xu Zhimo is already a person with a family.
So, she chose to follow her father back to China the next year to reject Xu Zhimo's affection.
In 1924, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng went to the United States to study architecture together, and it was not until August 1928 that the couple returned to China.
After Lin Huiyin returned to China, Xu Zhimo was still interested in her, but Lin Huiyin was already married, so Xu Zhimo took his friend Jin Yuelin to Liang's house to find Lin Huiyin.
Jin Yuelin's love is deep and silent
One day in 1931, the moment he met Lin Huiyin, Jin Yuelin fell, and when he discussed with Lin Huiyin, Jin Yuelin was even more impressed by this woman's knowledge and insights.
Different from Xu Zhimo's enthusiasm, Jin Yuelin's love is always deep and silent, he has never even been jealous of Liang Sicheng, he has given Lin Huiyin the greatest respect and love.
When Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng quarreled and had a cold war, Jin Yuelin also acted as a peacemaker between the husband and wife. It is because of his pure appreciation and love that the three of them have become close friends.
Until November 1931, Lin Huiyin held a lecture on architecture in Beijing, and on the 19th, he got on a plane from Nanjing to Beijing.
On the way to Beijing, Xu Zhimo was very excited, but when the plane passed through Jinan, it suddenly became foggy, and the plane could not distinguish the direction and hit Kaishan headlong.
This year, Xu Zhimo died in Jinan at the age of 34.
After Xu Zhimo died, Lin Huiyin and other friends were very sad, and Jin Yuelin also saw his heart clearly during this time, and he wanted to spend the rest of his life waiting for Lin Huiyin.
After returning to Beiping after treating Xu Zhimo's funeral, Jin Yuelin broke up with his American girlfriend at the time, and moved to the North Headquarters Hutong in the summer of the following year, living in the same courtyard with Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin.
From this year until Lin Huiyin's death, Jin Yuelin always waited by Lin Huiyin's side.
Usually, if Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are flawless with their children due to busy work, Jin Yuelin will help take care of the children.
In the eyes of the outside world, the three of them are really a very strange combination, how can they live with their rivals in love and have been safe for so many years?
Someone specifically focused on Liang Sicheng's problem, but Liang Sicheng was not worried at all, he believed that the relationship between the three of them had been sublimated to family affection.
I believe everyone has heard that Lin Huiyin once said to Liang Sicheng that he fell in love with Liang Sicheng and Jin Yuelin at the same time, and he didn't know what to do?
Liang Sicheng said: "You are free, if you love Jin Yuelin, we can divorce." ”
After this sentence was relayed by Lin Huiyin to Jin Yuelin, Jin Yuelin was greatly moved, he knew that Liang Sicheng really loved Lin Huiyin, so he should quit and not make a move to destroy other people's families.
In fact, this incident was said by Liang Sicheng's second wife, Ms. Lin Zhu, but what it is, presumably only the parties concerned know.
From then on, the three of them really regarded each other as family.
In 1946, because the situation was very serious, Liang Sicheng had to be separated from Lin Huiyin for a period of time, and Lin Huiyin and Jin Yuelin also spent five months together in Kunming.
Liang Sicheng did not show any abnormality, he firmly believed in the innocence between the two.
Not only is the three of them very close, but even the children are very kind to Jin Yuelin, and Liang Congjie also calls Jin Yuelin "Daddy Jin", which shows that Liang Sicheng and his wife trust Jin Yuelin, and it shows that Liang Sicheng has a broad mind.
On April 1, 1955, Lin Hui died of illness and tuberculosis due to overwork.
When Lin Huiyin had just died, Jin Yuelin was hovering in front of her ward, and he wanted to go in to see Lin Huiyin for the last time, but he didn't want to go in.
Entering meant that Lin Huiyin had left the world forever and left him.
At Lin Huiyin's memorial service, Jin Yuelin sent a couplet: a poetic Qianxun Waterfall, April day in the ancient world.
Since then, Jin Yuelin has never married.
brief summary
However, most of us would rather believe that Jin Yuelin did not marry because of Lin Hui, but in fact, he pursued unmarried doctrine in his early years. He had been living with his girlfriend at the time for a long time and had also given birth to a daughter.
As for whether he wanted to get married after meeting Lin Huiyin, we won't comment on this for the time being, unless the person concerned, no one knows.
But what we can be sure of is that after Lin Huiyin's death, Jin Yuelin will miss her for the rest of his life. Even the poem "August Sorrow" published by Lin Huiyin in 1936, nearly half a century later, Jin Yuelin can still recite it word for word.
Another year, Jin Yuelin called his friends in Beijing for dinner, and at the beginning of the dinner, Jin Yuelin raised his glass and said: "Today is Huiyin's birthday, let's wish her a happy birthday!"
Everyone present was moved to tears, Jin Yuelin has been thinking about Lin Huiyin all his life, compared to Liang Sicheng, who remarried 7 years after Lin Huiyin's death, this love is very pure.
