Daughter Xia Zuli, born in Beijing, went to Taiwan with Lin Haiyin and his wife when she was very young. Influenced by Lin Haiyin, she has been particularly fond of reading and writing since she was a child, and after graduating from college, she worked in a magazine in Taiwan and engaged in writing and editing for many years.
After marriage, Xia Zuli did not live with her mother anymore, but settled in Australia with her husband.
But 60-year-old Lin Haiyin, due to the increasing age, physical strength slowly can not keep up, life is very inconvenient, he recalled Xia Zuli to Taiwan, this time, Xia Zuli got the opportunity to work with her mother, in lin Haiyin founded the Taiwan "pure literature publishing house", Xia Zuli served as the editor-in-chief, the mother and daughter two worked together day and night for nearly 10 years.
In 1986, Xia Zuli quit her job and wrote at home full-time, during which time she created many works and won many awards, including one of her most successful books, that is, a biography written for her mother, "From the South of the City: The Biography of Lin Haiyin".
Since 1998, Xia Zuli began to write a biography for her mother, Xia Zuli went alone to the old street in the south of the city to find, strolled in the alleys of the old city, from the brick cracks to find the petals of her mother's childhood, she walked into the depths of Xijiaomin Lane, Nanliu Lane, Nanchang Street, immersive to feel the place where her mother was playing as a child... Lin Haiyin lived in the south of Beijing when she was a child, and the prototype of "Old Things in The South of the City" is Lin Haiyin's own childhood life, writing the story that happened in the south of Beijing, she spent a wonderful childhood in the south of the city, which also contributed to the writing of the novel, and the prototype of the protagonist Xiao Yingzi is Lin Haiyin herself.
Xia Zuli went to the south of Beijing twice, where she seemed to see her mother's life in those years, and she seemed to see Xiao Yingzi walking towards her.
At that moment, she truly felt that it was the living city south, that was the south of the city in her mother's heart. The unforgettable journey did not stop at seongnam, she also visited the director of the film and the actor of Xiao Yingzi, and even ran to Chongqing to restore her mother's life from the mouth of the elders.
Xia Zuli tirelessly searched for roots and materials, completed a lot of preparatory work, and was bound to restore her mother's experience well and fulfill her mother's long-cherished wish, she carried heavy materials, thick fifty or sixty photo albums, more than a hundred boxes of interview tapes, and dozens of mother's diaries and letters, and returned to her home in Australia.

After completing her mother's biography, Xia Zuli did not stop here, she worked hard and began to be busy with her father's biography again. There seems to be some kind of mission that urges her not to stop, and her writing career has always had a bond with her parents.
It is worth mentioning that her father, Mr. Xia Chengyao, is also a famous writer in Taiwan, a native of Nanjing, who grew up in Beijing, and like Xia Zuli's husband Zhang Zhizhang, he is a Beijinger born in Nanjing.

Xia Zuzhuo, Lin Haiyin's beloved son, born in Beijing in 1946, went to Taiwan with his parents at the age of 6, has been living with his parents, and has never been separated from his parents, but the democratic Lin Haiyin did not interfere too much in his son's life.
The distant distance blocked the connection between family and family, and studying overseas allowed him to spend very little time with his mother Lin Haiyin, making it more difficult for the two to meet each other, Xia Zuzhuo found a job in the United States for many years and did not return home.
After decades of separated life, mother and son gathered less and more.
The turning point of separation is not so beautiful, the long separation of the two places makes Xia Zuzhuo fail to fulfill the obligation to support his parents well, after learning that Lin Haiyin is seriously ill, Xia Zuzhuo in order to make up for the lack of affection for many years, do not let the status quo become an irreparable regret, so he returned to his mother and spent the last time of his life with his mother.
This time, Xia Zuzhuo made an important decision - settled in Taiwan, did not return to foreign countries, relied on his rich knowledge to teach at Tsinghua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan, and was hired as a full-time professor at Cheng Kung University in 2011.
As an engineering doctor, he teaches literature courses such as modern European and American literature, modern Japanese literature, modern Chinese novels and essays.

Both Xia Zuli and Xia Zuzhuo were deeply influenced by their mothers, and as the children of famous writers, they both developed on the road of literary creation, published some popular works, and they were taught by their mother Lin Haiyin and developed well in their respective chosen fields.
By writing a biography for her mother, Xia Zuli better understood her mother's original intention of writing "Old Things in Seongnam", and also more understood her mother's extraordinary life, from the collected materials and the oral accounts of her mother's relatives and friends, all of which showed her mother's love for Seongnam and her great courage in the turbulent and displaced life. The process of writing is long and arduous, and in the dry days, the supreme reverence for her mother guides her to complete the writing, and she revitalizes herself and revitalizes her mother.
In the last days of accompanying her mother, Xia Zuzhuo realized her mother's long-cherished wish, and the pain and suffering was Lin Haiyin's flesh, the companionship of her family, so that she could maintain a relatively happy mood in that difficult day, in Lin Haiyin's life, family affection was the source of her happiness.
Mothers and children who get along day and night enjoy the joy of heaven, and no amount of illness can bury the joy in their hearts.
In Lin Haiyin's life, her greatest wish was to record her life by using a pen, writing on paper, and then the illness struck, and she could not write it herself, so she wrote it by her daughter. "From the South of the City: The Biography of Lin Haiyin" was written, but unfortunately, Lin Haiyin's illness worsened, and his consciousness was blurred, let alone spent effort to read books.
Today, Xia Zuli and Xia Zuzhuo are still accompanied by literature, dedicated to the creation of literature, and often use paper and pencil to express their thoughts about their mothers.
