Lin was born on June 10, 1904. In the eyes of the older generation, she is a beautiful poetess and versatile architect. So, what kind of mother is she in the eyes of her children? Lin's son Liang Congjie wrote about the true image of mother in his eyes in "Sudden April 1st - Remembering My Mother Lin".
In August 1929, Lin’s first child was born in Shenyang. Soon after, I returned to Beijing’s Xiangshan to recuperate. The joy of becoming a mother for the first time and the sincere friendship of her friends in Peking filled her heart with tranquil joy and warmth, inspiring her to write poetry. From the spring of 1931, she began to publish poetry. In 1932, when his son Liang Congjie was born, Lin wrote "You Are April 1st in the World" for his son, a classic poem full of maternal love.
Lin pays attention to the influence of family atmosphere.
Although Lin is very independent, has a tense relationship with her mother-in-law, and does not like to do housework, she is still a warm housewife and gentle mother. In the 1930s, Lin's home was in Beizhongbu Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing. This is a rented courtyard house with square tile floor, beautiful hanging flower door, one crab apple and two lantana flowers. In the bungalow in China, there are several pieces of old-fashioned furniture bought from thrift stores, one or two stone sculptures discovered during fieldwork, and countless books, which all reflect her artistic interests and academic pursuits. During every holiday in those days, Lin's relatives and friends would talk and laugh loudly in this courtyard. The laughter was loud and lively, and the children were also deeply affected by it.
Lin used books to cultivate children's minds.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Lin family began a turbulent life that lasted nine years. They moved from Changsha to Kunming. Liang Congjie is now in the second grade of elementary school. I'm very good at reading. She taught Sui Tang's mission and read it to her two children. She read an ancient text vividly: Sui Tang's heroism and the embarrassment of King Qin standing in front of him to pay tribute to him. Sounds like a movie. Three years later, they moved from Kunming to Lizhuang, a village in Xiaojiang near Yibin, Sichuan. War and disease struck her down, but she read a lot before she died. She has read many works by Russian writers. She liked Turgenev's "Hunter's Diary" very much, and asked her 12-year-old son Liang Congjie to read it as homework, and let Liang Zaibing and Liang Congjie appreciate Turgenev's descriptions of natural scenery line by line. The two children could not understand the English book "The Life of Michelangelo". Lin read aloud and explained to them, detailing Michelangelo's hardships in painting the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.
When Lin is in a good mood, she sometimes likes to let her two children sit in front of the bed and gently read her old poems to them. In his memories, Liang Congjie wrote: "Her poems originally emphasized rhythm, and she read them herself. It sounded really like a song. She also often read ancient poems and told them to us. What impressed me most was that she taught I felt sad and sad when I read the famous lines of Du Fu and Lu You, such as "News from the West Railway Station! The North has been recovered!" "Don't forget to tell Nai Weng at home" "Poor child, he is too young and doesn't know where the capital is." .
