In terms of age, Xu Zhimo was born in 1897, which is 1896 according to the lunar calendar. How old is Lin? She was born in 1904. She is eight years younger than Xu Zhimo according to the lunar calendar and seven years old according to the solar calendar. Xu zhimo 19 18 Peking University went to the United States to study after graduation, and later came to Britain to study because he admired the western philosopher Russell very much. I didn't know Russell had gone to China to give a lecture until I arrived in England, so he lived in London. At this time, I met Lin's father and Lin at my home. Lin Cai 16 years old, still a middle school student. This happened in the autumn of 1920. At the end of the same year, Xu Zhimo took Zhang Youyi to England and lived in a place called Shaston next to Cambridge University. At that time, their relationship was not very good, but it did not reach the point of divorce. One is a married man with children, 24 years old; One is a girl who is not in love, only 16 years old, how can she reach that level at once! During this period, Xu Zhimo once expressed a little affection for Lin. Lin panicked when he saw the letter. He was afraid to write back to Xu Zhimo. Lin Changmin wrote a reply to Xu Zhimo. Now I found Lin Changmin's letter to Xu Zhimo, which said, "Your passion is so strong that people feel shocked. Your emblem is confused and I don't know how to answer it. No sarcasm. I think it is misunderstood. " Lin Changmin's attitude is beyond our imagination now. Think about it, that was more than 80 years ago. Even if you give it to your parents who are a little feudal now, you have to get a knife. I was so kind to you that I asked you to come to my house for dinner and tea and came up with my daughter's idea. Great! But Lin Changmin didn't do it. He was educated, studied in Japan, graduated from Waseda University in Japan, and studied the Constitution. He said he could understand. The letter means that my daughter is too young to know how to write to you. She has no intention of being dissatisfied. Don't get me wrong, she asked me to say hello. It can be seen that they didn't actually reach that level at that time, but they developed a little late, and they were just two categories. When Lin grew up, he also missed this hazy feeling and even felt a little sorry for Xu Zhimo. What I want to explore now is whether 16-year-old Lin wanted to fall in love with a man. My opinion is yes. 1937 At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Lin arrived in Changsha and was in a bad mood. She wrote a letter to Shen Congwen. Because it was raining all the time, I thought of my mood in London. The letter said that my father went to the League of Nations in Switzerland for a meeting. She lives alone in a big house and it is raining outside. She reads alone in the big room during the day and eats alone in the dining hall at night, with her legs hanging down and her two braids hanging over her shoulders. While eating, I bit my finger with my mouth and cried. At this time, I always hope that something romantic will happen in my life, or someone will knock at the door and sit opposite to talk to her, or sit upstairs by the fire and tell her stories. The most important thing is that someone will love her But the reality is that it rains every day, and no romantic and intelligent person comes to play with her. Xu Zhimo loved her, and she felt it, but it didn't develop. Later, she had some regrets. 65438-0927 When he was studying in America, it happened that Hu Shi came to America. Lin once wrote to Hu Shi: Please tell Zhimo after returning home that I have had enough of loneliness and met many disappointments in the past three years. Tell him that I absolutely don't blame him, but I hope he will forgive me for my ignorance. I went through his old letters one by one yesterday, and now I really know Lao Zhimo thoroughly. The past is over, there is no need to mention it now. I just want to remember it forever. In fact, during the spring and summer of 1924, their feelings developed to the point of falling in love. It was in the spring of 193 1 that Xu Zhimo really got to the point of talking about marriage after he went to Beijing to teach. In other words, Lin and Xu Zhimo did fall in love, but the process was long and tortuous, not the kind of love at first sight. Now that you mention it, you will know how ridiculous the treatment of April day on earth is. In the history of modern literature, the word "Lin" seems to exist and be loud because of the word "Xu Zhimo". I got to know Lin because I read Xu Zhimo, and I got to know Liang Sicheng because of Lin. I believe most readers are like me. In this way, Liang Sicheng's head was shrouded in some tragic color, which made me feel a little sympathy. (In fact, as the eldest son of Liang Qichao, Liang Sicheng was the founder of China architecture after 1949, and the most famous contemporary architecture department, Tsinghua University Architecture Department, was founded by Liang Sicheng. However, because he doesn't engage in literature, his name is little known, which is the same reason that Li Siguang is not as famous as Qian Zhongshu. ) Xu Zhimo also came from a noble family, and now he is a capitalist family. His father, Xu Shenru, is a rich man in Xiashan Town, Zhejiang Province. He runs a bank and is a famous banker. According to his father's wishes, Xu Zhimo should follow in his father's footsteps. So he went to study in the west and studied economics. But soon he felt that economics had nothing to do with him. He often associates with writers, and gradually knows nothing about economics, and soon drops out of school to travel to Europe and America. In London, I heard that Lin Changmin, a famous calligrapher and poet, came for advice. Meeting unexpectedly, meeting Lin and falling in love immediately provided more research topics for later literary history researchers. When he met Lin, Xu Zhimo was already the father of a two-year-old child. At the age of 24, he was eight years older than Lin and a big brother. At that time, his wife Zhang Youyi and children came to London. After Xu Zhimo launched several fierce offensives, Lin finally broke the embankment because of her seemingly solid defense. This is what she told him: I am not a woman with casual feelings. You have to choose between me and Zhang Youyi. The romantic Xu Zhimo went home and told Zhang Youyi that he was getting a divorce. Although Zhang Youyi thought it was too sudden, she treated the matter rationally, and then took her children to study in Germany. When Xu Shenru heard that his son had treated his wife like this, he angrily announced that he would sever the relationship between father and son, stop providing food, and hand over his banking business and property to Zhang Youyi. Since then, the eldest son of the Xu family has supported himself with his own hands. Zhang Youyi's eldest brother, Zhang Junmai, was a political figure in the early years of the Republic of China, and his second brother, Zhang Jiaao, was the governor of the central bank of the government at that time. Lin thus became a third party, and the consequences of this intervention were even more serious. In fact, Xu Zhimo also became a third party, because Lin had already been betrothed to Liang Sicheng. Interestingly, as a father, he agreed to the love between his daughter and Xu Zhimo, but forgot that he had betrothed the apple of his eye to Liang's eldest son. However, Lin and Xu didn't last long, because her trip to Europe would soon end and she had to go back to China with her father. When Xu Zhimo returned to China, Lin was engaged to Liang Sicheng. Xu Zhimo is a student of Liang Qichao. In front of the teacher, what can he do except restrain himself? But before meeting Lu Xiaoman, Xu always missed Lin, and he was also a frequent visitor of Liang and Lin. After Liang and Lin went to study in the United States, they often had conflicts. When the noise was fierce, Lin wrote a letter to Xu Zhimo at home. Because of this, Xu Zhimo has always had illusions about Lin. After returning to China, Liang and Lin Xuecheng taught at Northeastern University. Later, due to Lin's poor health, they spent some time in Xishan, Beijing, but Liang was not around. During this period, Xu often went to Xishan to visit Lin. Because of this experience, later researchers always thought that the relationship between Xu and Lin crossed the line, but no one could produce any evidence. Therefore, I'm afraid the relationship between Xu and Lin is an unsolved case. Soon, Xu met Lu Xiaoman, a married woman, at a dance in Beijing. Xu stepped in and married Lu. Xu was unhappy or even unhappy after marriage, and often confided to friends, mainly Hu Shi, Lin and Ling Shuhua, until 193 1 died. Lin wrote two articles commemorating Xu in 193 1 and 1934 respectively, expressing his true feelings. It should be said that Xu Zhimo's influence on Lin is enormous. Without Xu Zhimo, Lin would not be engaged in literature. When we first met in London, Xu often wrote poems for Lin. Lin's son, Liang Congjie, said in the Collected Works of Lin that Lin had personally told his children that Xu Weilin had written many poems, the most famous of which was Accidental. However, when we look at this poem now, it doesn't seem to be written for Lin, because Xu has never been so free and easy about Lin's existence. Of course, without Xu's influence, Lin's achievements in architecture might be much greater. She has a wide range of interests and left no excellent works in any way.
