First of all, Zhang Qingping's writing is beautiful, and it is very aesthetic to read. Moreover, on the basis of good writing, she can make a biography with a serious, responsible and respectful attitude towards historical facts, consult a lot of literature, and then write it down with her own literary skills. Therefore, this book is a way for many people to know and like Lin. It has been reprinted and has a very good reputation, which is worth recommending.
Speaking of the white edition, I wonder why her book can be called a biography. Although it is called "comprehensive and detailed", there are many places in the book that don't respect historical facts, which is not a biography at all. Besides, although as an author, I like and worship Lin, which is ok, but this book completely deifies her and depicts her as a poetic and gentle multifaceted woman.
Even if Lin is a poet and writes articles, she is also an architect. She has her rational side, not all emotional. Li Chuan, of course, don't demonize her, also can't blindly deify her! This book mentions its literature, but ignores its architectural achievements. Even if you are not familiar with this aspect, since you want to make a biography, at least you can't be completely ignorant. The white edition is very disappointing in this respect.
There are also different opinions about the love affair between Lin and Xu Zhimo. Now that I have made a biography, I can express my opinion, but I can't make it up. In Bremen's book, a large number of Lin's psychological descriptions and unconfirmed love descriptions were fabricated.
People feel how much Lin loves Xu, so subjective, looking for the shadow of love in his poems without referring to any description of relatives and friends! ?
There are also large sections of the author's imagination and illogical conclusions in this book, which are not serious. As for many people who say that its writing is gorgeous, it can only be said that it is different. I only feel very sour after reading it.
