Lu Yin was originally named Huang Ying, a native of Nanyu Township, Minhou, Fujian Province, and was born in Fujian on May 4th, 1899. Lu Yin was very active in the May 4th Movement. When she was at school, she found her engaged cousin Lin mediocre and backward, with similar interests, so she flatly proposed to dissolve the engagement, showing the fearlessness and courage of the new woman in pursuing a happy marriage. Moreover, Lu Yin also wrote the first novel "A Writer" with the theme of accusing arranged marriage, which was recommended by Zheng Zhenfeng and published in 192 1 Mao Dun's Novel Monthly. Then, she successively published short stories such as A Letter, Tears and Human Sorrow.
1922, Lu Yin graduated from Beijing Women's Normal University and taught in a middle school in Xuancheng, Anhui Province and a middle school attached to Beijing Normal University. The following summer, she met Guo Mengliang, a talented student in the philosophy department of Peking University. Guo tends to be nationalistic, runs Struggle magazine, and vigorously publicizes his ideas. Lu Yin was also deeply influenced by his thoughts and admired his talent. They were in love for several years. Freedom of marriage and love is the basic point of women's liberation. Lu Yin, deeply influenced by the spirit of the May 4th Movement, holds the belief that "as long as we have love, it doesn't matter whether we have a wife or not". 1923, she planned to marry Guo Mengliang, a "married man", which was opposed by her family. But Lu Yin insisted on her love regardless, and finally married Guo Mengliang in Shanghai.
Life after marriage is not as sweet as she imagined. Secular ridicule, mother-in-law's discrimination and embarrassing situation all made her feel mentally unhappy. Most unfortunately, just two years after marriage, she left her with lung disease, leaving her daughter Guo. During her stay in Fuzhou, she wrote short stories and essays such as Sending a Lonely Flood to the Tianya, Autumn Wind and Autumn Rain, Tide, etc., telling her anguish and loneliness.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/926, Lu Yin left the Guo family and went to Shanghai to work as a female instructor in the middle school affiliated to Daxia University. The following spring, he returned to Beijing, and successively served as editor of the Association for the Promotion of Civilian Education and principal of a girls' middle school. She also founded Huayan Monthly with several friends and Huayan Bookstore at her own expense. During this period, she published a collection of essays and novels, Mary, and wrote a diary novella, Returning to the Wild Goose.
While Lu Yin was still immersed in the pain of losing her husband, a young poet came into her life. This is Li Weijian. Li Weijian, male, 1907, from Chengdu, Sichuan. 1925 was admitted to the western literature department of Tsinghua University, Beiping. At school, he liked the poems of Byron, Shelley, Blake and Tagore, and wrote a letter to Tagore. From 1926, he wrote 95 prose poems in English to express his inner pain and the joy of relieving it. Later, he compiled The Resurrection of Life, which was not published by Zhonghua Book Company until 1934.
1928 On March 8th, under the introduction of Professor Lin Zaiping from Peking University, he met Lu Yin for the first time at Qu Shiying's home by chance. Lu Yin asked about his literary hobbies and writing situation, and left him an address, so that they got in touch.
At first, they just read literature and talked about life, but they were still pure friendship. Li Weijian, who is older than Xiao Jiu, called Lu Yin "elder sister" and "elder sister of soul". Later, Li Weijian fell in love with her and confessed to her many times. After a series of setbacks such as engagement, termination, love, marriage and widowhood, Lu Yin is more cautious emotionally. Considering their age difference and possible criticism from outside, she initially rejected him. But Li Weijian never gave up and persuaded her again and again: "I thought you cared too much about the criticism of the world. What the world says is just a prejudice ... why should we value their humble opinion? "
After repeated ideological struggles, Lu Yin had to admit: "I have never met anyone who respects and knows my personality better than you. In other words, you are the only person who knows me and sympathizes with me since I joined the WTO; Therefore, I am willing to bear all the troubles for you. " She finally made up her mind: "let's make a combination of wind and cloud." We will always be in love with each other. Let the world abandon us. We will be absolutely enriched and have absolutely no regrets. "
1In August, 930, Lu Yin resolutely resigned from the teaching position of the High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, took her little lover Li Weijian across to Fusang, and built a love nest in Tokyo. In Tokyo, Lu Yin wrote some essays reflecting Japanese customs and society. At the end of this year, due to economic exhaustion, they had to return to China and live by Xizi Lake for half a year. Lu Yin wrote some short stories during his stay in Hangzhou, which were later edited as The Thorn of the Rose (1933, Zhonghua Book Company). Among them, The Thorn of the Rose is a record of their life on the West Lake, from which we can see how happy they were at that time. In addition, Lu Yin also wrote a sad long love novel "The Ivory Ring", which was written in memory of her good friend Shi Pingmei. Zhang, the heroine in the book, is the embodiment of Shi Pingmei. The novel was published in the 8-9 and 1 1 and 12 issues of volume 22 of Fiction Daily, and the rest was unfortunately burned in the "January 28th" war of the Japanese invaders.
A year later, Lu Yin and his wife moved from Hangzhou to Shanghai. Lu Yin was introduced by Chen Heqin to teach at the Girls' Middle School of the Ministry of Industry (now no.1 middle school of shanghai), and Li Weijian was introduced by Sister Liu as an editor of Zhonghua Book Company. At the same time, their collection of letters, The Love Letter of the Gull, was published by China Guoguang Society. Cold Gull is Lu Yin, and Different Clouds is Li Weijian. Writer Lixi Wang pointed out in the preface: "This bundle of love letters is written with the glorious blood of struggle and trauma, which represents the feelings of young men and women in this era and fully exposes the contradictions in this new era." 1932, "1 1 28" Shanghai War broke out, and Lu Yin wrote a novel "Flame" based on this war. This is a major breakthrough in her literary creation. A woman writer who once wrote about love and intellectuals began to care about the fate of the country and the nation, and used her own pen to express the people and things struggling for the survival of the country.
During his stay in Shanghai, Li Weijian kept close contacts with Xu Zhimo, Shen Congwen, Shao and others. Published new poems, translated poems and translations in New Moon, Poetry Magazine, Human World and other publications, published long poems Shadow (1933, New Times Bookstore) and Prayer (1933, Crescent Bookstore), and translated biographical novel Love Couple.
At the age of 334, Lu Yin was already a famous female writer in the literary world at that time. Surprisingly, however, she died in Shanghai Dahua Hospital on May 1934 and 13, and went into the abyss of permanent silence. In that year, Shanghai No.1 Publishing House published Lu Yin's Autobiography, Beixin Publishing House 1936 published Tokyo Essays (Prose and Novel) and Flame (Novel), Central Bookstore 1947 published Lu Yin's Selected Works and Lu Yin's Selected Works, and Shanghai Xinxiang Bookstore/kloc-0. On the first anniversary of Lu Yin's death, Li Weijian wrote an affectionate "Mourning Lu Yin", which was published in Literature Monthly edited by Fu Donghua.
Later, Li Weijian returned to Sichuan, founded Dahua Daily, and published essays such as Wandering Wei Jian and Acacia Grass. After liberation, Li Weijian became a researcher in Sichuan Provincial Museum of Literature and History and a member of the CPPCC. He translated and published "Sichuan Warlords" by American Cooper, and also selected and translated 40 poems by Du Fu with English annotations.
1977, Li Weijian wrote an autobiographical long poem "Yin Huai Pian", which expressed his life feelings. In the poem, he recalled his acquaintance, love, marriage and death with Lu Yin. He sighed:
"There is no tide in the sea, so an old friend will die.
Cold seagulls leave shadows in the air, and different clouds hurt variability. "
198 1 year1month 12, Li Weijian also passed away.
