Preface
The University of Pennsylvania will posthumously award a bachelor of architecture degree this weekend to renowned Chinese architect, poet, artist, and historic preservationist Lin Huiyin in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the field of modern architecture in China.
Fritz Steiner, dean of Penn's Weitzman School of Design, said that research found that the reason why Lin Huiyin did not get a degree that year was simply because she was a woman.
In 2022, Steiner initiated a research and review process that ultimately decided to correct this historical error.

Lin Huiyin came to the University of Pennsylvania in 1924, and she was accompanied by Liang Sicheng and other classmates.
During his time at Penn, Lin aspired to become an architect due to his outstanding performance and achieved great success in this field. But due to gender discrimination at the time, she was not able to get the degree she deserved.

In those days, women faced a lot of resistance and prejudice in the field of architecture. After more than a year of research and review, the University of Pennsylvania decided to posthumously award Lin Huiyin a bachelor's degree in architecture this weekend.

Ms. Lim Hui Yin is a great architect

Personal opinion
Lin Huiyin is a pioneer of modern architecture in China, and her achievements and contributions are well known. She is not only very talented in architectural design, but also writes poetry and paints, and is really all-rounder.

She has made a lot of contributions to Chinese architecture and has also done a lot of work in the field of historical preservation. It's a shame that such a remarkable woman didn't get a degree because of her gender.
In the past, there was a lot of gender discrimination, and many talented women were deprived of their rights and honors.

The fact that these historical mistakes can now be corrected is both a consolation to those women who have been wronged and a manifestation of social progress.

For those of us now, this incident is also very insightful. Gender equality should not just be a slogan, but a real reality.
Whether in education, work, or life, women deserve the respect and opportunities they deserve.

It is hoped that through this event, more people can pay attention to and support gender equality, and promote a fairer and more progressive society.
Lin Huiyin finally got the recognition she deserved, which is not only a personal tribute to her, but also an important correction to history.
