Coincidence 1: Lin Huiyin
Lin Huiyin
Lin Huiyin is the goddess in Xu Zhimo's heart, the driving force of his poetic sentiment of generate, and he can't love it, and he has infinite concern in his heart. On November 19th, 1931, Lin Huiyin gave a lecture on China's architectural art for foreign envoys in the auditorium of Peking Union Medical College that night. Although Xu Zhimo was not invited, how could he not join in! This is also the cause of the accident. Xu Zhimo must arrive in Peiping on the 19th.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Xu Zhimo boarded the China Airlines Jinan postal plane and flew from Nanjing to Peiping. Before leaving, he sent a telegram to Lin Huiyin, saying that he would arrive at Peiping Nanyuan Airport at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on time and asked Liang Sicheng to pick him up by car. Then he embarked on his journey of death.
Coincidence 2: Lu Xiaoman

Xu Zhimo can be said to be a typical "second generation of businessmen", with a well-off family background. He also teaches in several universities and earns the salary equivalent to the current golden collar. However, Lu Xiaoman's luxurious life was unbearable. There were more than a dozen domestic servants and coachmen, and Lu Xiaoman began to smoke opium again ...
In fact, on the 11th, Xu Zhimo just left Beiping and returned to Shanghai on the 13th, but as soon as he met Lu Xiaoman, he began to quarrel. The wayward little man lost his temper, and Xu Zhimo didn't want to get too stiff, so he had to visit an old friend. On the 18th, he arrived in Nanjing and stayed at a friend's house.
It's close to the airport. The next day, he will take the free postal flight Jinan to Beiping.
on the 19th, it was foggy, but thinking of Lin Huiyin's speech in the evening, Xu Zhimo took off without hesitation.
Xu Zhimo's life is already very tight, and because of the dispute with Lu Xiaoman, he got on this free plane. Who knows that the free plane is priceless, which directly killed him.
Coincidence 3: Xu Zhimo
Xu Zhimo has always been a flying enthusiast. In his essay "Want to Fly", he wrote:
He enjoys flying in the air very much, and maybe he has the feeling of flying himself and emptying his mind in the clouds.

The stone engraved with Xu Zhimo's poems on the Cambridge campus
These coincidences made Xu Zhimo get on this free plane to heaven. Besides two pilots and more than 4 pounds of mail, Xu Zhimo was the only passenger on the plane. In the area of Dangjiazhuang, Jinan, the flight opportunity was foggy all over the sky. In order to find an accurate route, the pilot had to lower the flight altitude. Unexpectedly, he accidentally touched the top of the mountain in Changqing, Jinan, and immediately fell to the foot of the mountain and caught fire.
His short life left a bright star for the literary world, and his Farewell to Cambridge warmed the hearts of countless lovers.
