Lin was once persuaded to flee to Taiwan Province Province with the then Kuomintang government, but she felt that this was not only giving up those ancient buildings directly, but also giving up the integrity of a China scholar. She turned down the choice. Lin explained Ai Qing's poem with action: If I were a bird, I would also sing with a hoarse throat: this land hit by the storm, this sorrowful river will surge forever, this howling wind will never blow out, and there is an incomparably gentle dawn from the forest. -Then I died, and even my feathers rotted in the ground.
She opposed the demolition of ancient buildings. After liberation, Beijing decided to tear down the walls of Beijing, which meant that one of Lin's relatives left. At a dinner hosted by the Ministry of Culture for European and American students, she bluntly told Wu Han, then vice mayor of Beijing: "What you demolished today is a real antique, and you will regret it one day. Then if you cover it again, it will be a fake antique! " At this point, she was terminally ill. Lin has a beautiful and moving face, as well as superb literary attainments and artistic talents, but I think her most commendable is her tenacious feelings of home and country as a China scholar. She devoted her life to architecture and the country. China literati's patriotic feelings are vividly displayed in the weak woman Lin.
Taiwan Province writer Lin Qingxuan once wrote in his book: "Women make up differently. Third-rate makeup is the makeup on the face, second-rate makeup is the makeup of the spirit, and first-rate makeup is the makeup of life. " A truly beautiful woman never only pursues looks. They understand that only by showing the value of life can they have the meaning of their existence and keep their beauty. Lin's feelings of home and country will also flow with the years and stay in people's hearts forever.
