Qian Zhongshu and Lin Huiyin were neighbors, once, Qian Zhongshu got up in the middle of the night and took a long bamboo pole to beat Lin Huiyin's cat, and later, Yang Dai persuaded him below for a long time, and Qian Zhongshu scolded and grinned and put down the bamboo pole.
Qian Zhongshu and Lin Huiyin both live in Qinghuayuan, are neighbors, and both have a cat. The two cats often fight, Qian Zhongshu is afraid that his cat will suffer losses, specially put a long bamboo pole behind the door, and rush out to help his cat fight when he sees something bad.

Qian Zhongshu loves his cat very much, seeing other people's cats bullying, his own cat can not win, his heart is very angry, so he took up a bamboo pole to help fight, causing countless people to laugh, but Qian Zhongshu still goes his own way. So is he really just trying to protect the cat?
Qian Zhongshu has always been prejudiced against Lin Huiyin, and he wrote in the article "Cat": ... She looks the best... The most frequent guests... Moreover, her husband was the most tame and unhindling.
Qian Zhongshu and Lin Huiyin were both great talents and talents at that time, and both of them were very successful in their respective fields, but they were obviously not the same people.
Lin Huiyin likes to communicate, and often has a lot of salons at home and invites many literati to communicate, but Qian Zhongshu is relatively low-key, although they are all in Tsinghua University, but they rarely interact.
At that time, Hua Hua loved to fight with Lin Huiyin's cat. The two families are neighbors, but the cats of the two families are "love enemies". If Qian Zhongshu saw that his cat was being bullied, he was not polite at all, and the Lin family's cat was often beaten and the fart was rolling and urine flowing.
Lin Huiyin said that the little black cat was the focus of her family's "love", no matter how naughty it was, it was reluctant to hit it.
Yang Dai once wrote: "Zhong Shu specially prepared a long bamboo pole, leaning on the door, no matter how cold the day, heard the cat barking, he hurried out of the hot nest, took the bamboo pole, and rushed out to help his cat fight." ”
Yang Dai advised Qian Zhongshu not to fight with Lin Huiyin's cat for Hua Hua'er: "To fight a dog, you have to look at the owner's face, then, to fight a cat depends on the housewife's face!" ”
But Qian Zhongshu can't manage so much, just beat it, as a cat slave, how can he see that his cat children in his family are being bullied. So I still enjoy playing the cat tirelessly, of course, I will not be too heavy, just drive away.
Lin Huiyin also loves her cat, but there is no response to Qian Zhongshu's matter, which shows her measurements.
Later, Qian Zhongshu also wrote this article "Cat" to describe his resentment towards the cat of Lin Huiyin's family, and at the same time, through the Li couple in the text, he innuendo Lin Huiyin: "Mrs. Li has been dissatisfied with her appearance since she was a child: the skin is not white, and the eyelids are not double. The first point is not important..... The single eyelid is indeed a great defect, and the richness of the heart is not fully revealed.... Mr. Lee proposed to her, and she offered many conditions, the eighteenth of which was a honeymoon trip to Japan. Upon arriving in Japan, she went to the hospital to modify her eyelids and deepened the dimples (dimples) on her left cheek. ...... Bring out her original beauty. ”
The protagonists of Qian Zhongshu's article, Li And his wife, their family background and talent temperament, how to look a bit like Liang Sicheng Lin Huiyin and his wife.
Qian Zhongshu also said of Lin Huiyin:
"Of all the famous wives, she looks the best, she is the most cheerful, the furnishings of her living room are the most exquisite, she has the most guests, the dishes and refreshments she invites are the most exquisite and rich, her friends are the widest, and her husband is the most tame and unhined."
Lin Huiyin has many stories, giving Xu Zhimo love, giving Liang Sicheng marriage, and giving Jin Yuelin children.
The romantic poet Xu Zhimo did not hesitate to abandon his wife and son for him, and expressed his feelings for Lin Huiyin with a far-reaching and highly literary "Farewell to Kangqiao".
At that time, Xu Zhimo had a wife and children, but it was an arranged marriage arranged by his parents, so after meeting Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo was attracted by her talent and beauty.
Later, in order to rush back to Beijing to see Lin Huiyin's speech, Xu Zhimo crashed in the middle of the plane, and a generation of talents fell.
The philosopher Jin Yuelin is even more protective of her for her life, living in the courtyard for a lifetime, but also reflects Liang Sicheng's love for Lin Huiyin and the generosity of their feelings for them, Jin Yuelin regards their son Liang Congzhi as his own, and Liang Congzhi and his wife send him to the end of his life.
Qian Zhongshu believed that women should be family-centered and marriage as a lifelong occupation, and this view condensed the thoughts of most people in the secular life at that time, and it has long been passed down from generation to generation, and has become an unconscious inherent thought that has penetrated into the blood.
Qian Zhongshu once ridiculed Lin Huiyin for cutting off his double eyelids, saying that Liang Sicheng's thesis was ghostwritten by someone, which caused an uproar at the time. Everyone in the world knows that Qian Zhongshu is a famous poisonous tongue, but they did not expect him to poison his tongue to this point, and a passage satirizes Lin Huiyin and also brings Liang Sicheng.
In his later years, some people wanted to give Qian Zhongshu a biography, which was a good thing that many people could not ask for, but Qian Zhongshu directly refused, he said: "The biography is unreliable, the acquaintance memories are not credible, and the ancient history of the wild is not reliable." ”
