On March 21, 1928, 24-year-old Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng held a wedding at the home of Liang Sicheng's sister in Vancouver, Canada, after finishing their studies, although their parents could not attend, their wedding was still romantic.
Lin Hui did not like foreign white wedding dresses, so the clothes on the wedding day were all Chinese costumes of her own design, while Liang Sicheng wore a dress.
At this time, they are in the most brilliant years of their lives, which can be described as a talented woman and a match made in heaven. In the next 27 years, they worked together to compose a good story of love in the Republic of China, which is still a beautiful talk among the people of later generations today.

In this marriage, Lin Hui's attention is much higher than that of her husband Liang Sicheng. She was born into a famous family, beautiful appearance, was one of the few women of that era who could study abroad, and was the first female architect in China, and her beauty and talent coexisted, which made Lin Huiyin particularly eye-catching.
Even in the Republic of China, which is rich in talented women, Lin Huiyin is still the best of her generation, and the pursuers and admirers are like carp across the river, and the most widely circulated are the great poet Xu Zhimo and the famous philosopher Jin Yuelin, the former divorced her, the latter for her lifelong unmarried.
But in the end, Lin Huiyin decisively chose Liang Sicheng, and after that, in their married life, they were each other's life partners and career partners.
Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng
In the eyes of outsiders, being able to marry a woman like Lin Huiyin should be one of the fortunate things in life. However, many years after Lin Huiyin's death, Liang Sicheng recalled her, but said a sentence: "Huiyin is too smart, there are many people who pursue her, and sometimes it feels very tiring to be her husband!" ”
Why would the Mandarin duck partner in the eyes of outsiders admit that married life is very tired after the death of the other half? Is the beauty of the past all illusions? We may wish to look for the answer and see what kind of woman Lin Huiyin is?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > one: a talented woman from a famous family who has studied abroad</h1>
In 1904, Lin Huiyin was born in Hangzhou, a thousand-year-old city known as paradise. The Lin family is a family of officials and eunuchs, her grandfather Lin Xiaoke was once a jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty, and her father Lin Changmin had the experience of studying abroad, and it is undoubtedly lucky to be born in such a family.
The birth of Lin Huiyin brought great joy to the entire Lin family, although the girl was still loved by him at that time.
Grandfather Lin Xiaogong also took pains to name his granddaughter. In the end, he took the meaning of "Da Ji Si Hui Yin, then Bai Si Male" from the poetry classic "Daya SiQi" and named the baby girl "Hui Yin", a beautiful and elegant name.
The word "Huiyin" was changed in 1934 to avoid the confusion of a male author's "Huiyin" at that time, so there are now documents that record "Lin Huiyin".
Lin Huiyin
Lin Huiyin, who was born in the family, received educational enlightenment earlier than ordinary children, and her first enlightenment teacher in life was her aunt Lin Zemin.
Lin Zemin was a lady in the late Qing Dynasty, who had been educated in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, so she was also a woman who combined talents.
It was this talented aunt who began to teach Lin Huiyin to read and read when she was five years old, which also cultivated Lin Huiyin's literary accomplishment and laid the groundwork for her to become a talented woman in the future.
Lin Huiyin's family has an independent library, and when she can read independently, Lin Huiyin always likes to hide in the library to read the whole book, and those ancient texts and poems and songs are poured into her blood, making her a veritable talented girl.
However, Lin Huiyin's childhood also had troubles, her mother He Xueyuan was born in a merchant family, not good at housework, nor good at handling interpersonal relationships, so she was not liked by her husband and mother-in-law.
After her husband married another woman, He Xueyuan's personality, who was snubbed, became even more cloudy. At that time, whenever Lin Huiyin returned from his father's house, he would suffer from his mother's number of falls.
The emotional discord between her parents and her mother's strange personality have become a heavy burden on Lin Huiyin's heart, which is why she has a strong personality when she grows up.
Lin Huiyin's childhood was somewhat turbulent, because her father's job was always changing, and she and her family lived in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.
In that turbulent era, these three cities were indeed top-notch cities, and the simplicity of Beijing, the openness of Tianjin and the prosperity of Shanghai all brought Lin Huiyin a different experience. But no matter where she goes, she will always be the most dazzling one.
In the spring of 1920, Lin Huiyin had grown into a sixteen-year-old girl, and this year Lin Changmin was going to go to England to give lectures. During this trip, Lin Changmin decided to take Lin Huiyin with him, and this European trip also allowed Lin Huiyin to start a new life course.
After arriving in Europe, Lin Huiyin followed her father to Paris, Geneva, Rome, Berlin and other places, and when those beautiful European buildings came into view of Lin Huiyin, she was completely conquered. Since then, Lin Huiyin has never stopped pursuing the cause of architecture.
Of course, this trip to Europe not only broadened Lin Huiyin's horizons, but also allowed her to meet a man who was extremely important in her life, who was Xu Zhimo, the author of "Farewell to Kangqiao".
Two: A period of unrequited love
In 1920, the young talent Xu Zhimo came to England from the United States in order to get acquainted with Mr. Di Xinxin. At that time, Lin Changmin was also in England, so Xu Zhimo came to visit, and also because he met the beautiful and intelligent sixteen-year-old girl Lin Huiyin.
Xu Zhimo is eight years old, married, and has a two-year-old son. But for the wife he married at home, Xu Zhimo did not like it, and even wanted to end the marriage all the time.
Xu Zhimo
After seeing Lin Huiyin, his thoughts became more determined. When they first met, Xu Zhimo was deeply attracted by the unique temperament of the young girl in front of him.
On that day, Lin Changmin was not at his residence, Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin talked about the past and the present, and Xu Zhimo silently found that the beauty in front of him was the confidant he was looking for.
After many days, they left many good memories in London, they talked together, from literature to music, from reality to dreams, they always felt that time was fast together, or that there were many topics.

Unconsciously, Xu Zhimo fell in love with Lin Huiyin, and at this time, the family wrote to say that Zhang Youyi came to England to accompany him. This is the good intention of Xu Zhimo's parents, who know that their son is not very satisfied with their daughter-in-law, thinking of sending her to him, perhaps in a strange country, he will change.
But it turns out that all this is nothing more than their wishful thinking. When Zhang Youyi arrived in Britain, she saw Xu Zhimo standing on the shore before she got off the ship, especially his cold face.
Xu Zhimo did not stop his love for Lin Huiyin because of Zhang Youyi's arrival, on the contrary, he loved more fanatically, and even rushed to force the divorce of pregnancy when he learned that Lin Huiyin was going to return to China.

Although Xu Zhimo got the divorce agreement as he wished, he did not pursue the goddess in his heart. He only saw Lin Huiyin's romantic side, but he did not know that she was an extremely sober woman.
Lin Huiyin knew that Xu Zhimo did not love herself, but herself in the poem, so in the end she decisively chose Liang Sicheng, who was steady, down-to-earth and not so romantic.
Since then, the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin has only stayed in the position of "friend". Xu Zhimo's love for Lin Huiyin, Liang Sicheng, is known.
After they got married, Xu Zhimo was also a regular visitor to the Liang family, although Liang Sicheng was generous, but presumably seeing that his wife and his first love had so many contacts, his heart would be a little bit mustard.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > three: Jin Yuelin: "living in the forest"</h1>
Aside from Xu Zhimo, in Lin Huiyin's emotional world, Jin Yuelin is a name that cannot be avoided.
In 1931, Xu Zhimo brought Jin Yuelin to Liang's house, which was the first time Jin Yuelin met Lin Huiyin, and after some conversation, he was instantly attracted by Lin Huiyin's conversation and temperament.
At that time, the Liang family was very lively, and the literati in the Beijing circle would come to the Liang family every Saturday to gather, and these academic masters were together, even if they were chatting normally, it was also a feast.
Jin Yuelin
With the deepening of the contact, Jin Yuelin uncontrollably fell in love with Lin Huiyin, and Lin Huiyin also felt the care of transcendent friendship from Jin Yuelin.
Although at this time, she has become a woman and a mother, but in the face of the love thrown by excellent men, she is still a little overwhelmed in her heart.
Once, when Liang Sicheng, who was on a business trip, had just returned home, Lin Huiyin confessed to him: "I am very distressed, I am in love with two men at the same time." ”
After Liang Sicheng listened, he only felt that his head "buzzed", and the pain in his heart began to spread like the sea that broke the embankment, and that day Liang Sicheng did not sleep all night, he was not only touched by Lin Huiyin's honesty with himself, but also deeply felt the pressure brought by marriage.
The next day, After Liang Sicheng got up, he gave Lin Huiyin an answer: "If you choose Old Jin, I bless you." ”
Lin Huiyin, Liang Sicheng
Lin Huiyin was touched, and then the couple actually cried like children. A few days later, Lin Huiyin told Jin Yuelin of Liang Sicheng's answer, and Jin Yuelin said in a daze after listening to it: "Sicheng loves you, you are fine, I quit." ”
This vague complex emotion came to an end. Since then, Jin Yuelin has only taken Lin Huiyin as his sister, and occasionally the Liang family and his wife quarrel, and they have to find his eldest brother to judge.
Jin Yuelin has also been a neighbor of the Liang family, they live in the front yard, he lives in the backyard, living a life of caring for each other but maintaining a moral distance, the outside world also says that Jin Yuelin is "living by the forest", Lin Huiyin's children call him "Jin Dad".

For the sake of Lin Huiyin, Jin Yuelin never married, just like the line in "Why Sheng Zhenmo": "If you have met the right person, others will become generals, and I am not willing to do it." ”
Jin Yuelin is no better than the romantic Xu Zhimo, who quickly fell in love with Lu Xiaoman after being rejected by Lin Huiyin, but Jin Yuelin kept alone and lived his life.
For the existence of Jin Yuelin, although Liang Sicheng chose to be generous, he must have such an excellent wife, he will indeed have an indescribable psychological burden.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > four: very different personalities</h1>
Putting aside the love of children, in fact, the personalities of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are also opposite.
Lin Huiyin is a very lively and agile woman, especially in the salon every Saturday at home, she is almost the protagonist, so when everyone discusses issues, Lin Huiyin is always the one who likes to speak.
In contrast, Liang Sicheng's personality is somewhat wooden, he does not talk much, and does not like to joke, although he does not oppose the family to run a salon, but for this kind of hilarity, he is somewhat at a loss.

In addition, Lin Huiyin is pursuing romance, but Liang Sicheng is a very straight man. As early as when studying abroad, Lin Huiyin had complained that every weekend to go out on an outing, Liang Sicheng always had something to do.
Sometimes when going out to play once, Lin Huiyin dressed up, but after meeting Liang Sicheng did not even have a word of praise, which also made Lin Huiyin somewhat distressed.
One night, Lin Huiyin put on a white nightgown and put a bouquet of flowers on the table, creating a literary and romantic atmosphere, when she proudly asked Liang Sicheng: "Do you think your wife is like a fairy?" ”
But Liang Sicheng came to a sentence: "There is no feeling," Lin Huiyin did not get the answer he wanted, naturally angry, felt that her husband did not understand the style.
Of course, in addition to the wind and snow, the marriage is more chai rice oil and salt, don't look at Lin Huiyin is a talented woman, but in fact, ordinary people have problems she also has.
Due to the influence of the original family, Lin Huiyin has a strong personality, and occasionally speaks loudly and quarrels, whenever this time Liang Sicheng is always silent, presumably in the face of such a strong wife, he is somewhat difficult.
Lin Huiyin's strength is not only reflected in marriage, but also in the feelings of home and country.
In fact, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, their husband and wife had the conditions to go abroad, so that they could avoid the pain of war, but Lin Hui refused, the country was in difficulty, but she ran abroad to escape, and she categorically could not do such a thing.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lin Huiyin's health is not as good as before, she still refuses to go abroad for treatment, but puts all her thoughts on contributing to the country, she not only designed the Monument to the People's Heroes, but also participated in the design of the national emblem.
It is not difficult to see above that Lin Huiyin is a stubborn and personality woman, just like she hates to be told that she is good-looking, as if "good-looking" means that she is useless.
In summary, it is not difficult to understand why Liang Sicheng said in his later years: "Lin Huiyin is too smart, there are many suitors, and it is too tiring to be her husband." ”
Of course, this is not necessarily a complaint, but also just the experience of marrying an excellent woman, no matter what, Liang Sicheng and Lin Hui have been with each other for 27 years from beginning to end, which is also a complete !!!
