In April, I thought of her again
She was born in troubled times, but she was favored throughout her life; she was beautiful, but rational and intelligent; she was persistent with Liang Sicheng, decisive with Xu Zhimo, and Jin Yuelin respects her. She is affectionate and righteous to others, principled and measured, and lives an upright and open life.
She participated in the design of the national emblem, transformed traditional cloisonne, and participated in the design of the Monument to the People's Heroes. She excelled in aesthetics and architecture, but also had extraordinary attainments in literature and poetry.
In this April, when the warblers are flying and the grass is long and the clouds are blurry, I think again of Lin Huiyin, who was called "the most talented woman in the Republic of China" by Hu Shi.
True peace is not to avoid the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, but to build a fence and plant chrysanthemums in your heart
Lin Huiyin’s wisdom and sobriety allowed her to live her own life.
She wisely accepted the marriage contract set for her by her family elders and stayed with Liang Sicheng, the son of Liang Qichao and her childhood sweetheart. So she was able to live a life of ease and do whatever she wanted. Even Liang Sicheng followed her dream and studied her beloved architecture with her.
She wisely rejected Xu Zhimo, and this man regarded her as his confidante until his death.
In November 1931, Xu Zhimo died in a plane crash while flying to Beijing to attend anti-Japanese related activities and Lin Huiyin’s architectural academic lecture.
Previously, shortly after Lin Huiyin married Liang Sicheng, Xu Zhimo fell in love with the charming and talented socialite Lu Xiaoman. At this time, Lu Xiaoman came out of West Point Military Academy and became an army colonel in the Ministry of War. The older generation Wang Geng has been married for four years.
Lu Xiaoman divorced Wang Geng for Xu Zhimo, and even cruelly aborted the fetus in her belly. Lu Xiaoman abandoned Wang Geng like a pair of shoes, but Wang Geng was unwilling to blame him. Men are passionate and ruthless, and Wang Geng seems to be an exception.
After Xu Zhimo suffered a plane crash, rumors and rumors pointed to Lu Xiaoman. The disheartened Lu Xiaoman closed his door in plain clothes until his death.
Lin Huiyin’s memories of Xu Zhimo always seem to be inseparable from those literary greats, such as Shelley, Keats, Byron, and Woolf. Xu Zhimo once had a deep affection for Lin Huiyin, and he may have unknowingly played the role of a mentor, leading her into the world of British poetry and drama. New beauty, new concepts, and new feelings also confused himself. Their relationship may be more of a literary relationship.
Xu Zhimo and Wang Geng were good friends, but they poached each other. Jin Yuelin, a professor of philosophy at Tsinghua University, was also a close friend of Xu Zhimo.
Jin Yuelin "lived in the woods" throughout his life, always setting up his home next to the homes of Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng. Although Jin Yuelin also loved Lin Huiyin, he chose to quit, thinking like a philosopher and being objective and calm.
The children of the Liang family call him "Golden Dad". He can even cut through the small conflicts that Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are constantly trying to resolve, and judge them objectively and fairly, which makes them convinced. .
You may lament that Lin Huiyin is deeply "favored by God". However, the years are ruthless and vicissitudes, and the beauty is like jade and will eventually grow old.
Lin Huiyin's mother fell out of favor in her youth, and her sister died in infancy. Her mother's complaints and cries all day long gradually formed scars in her young and ignorant mind.
She is a talented writer, but she suffers from lung disease, which makes people think she is somewhat similar to Lin Daiyu!
A poetic Qianxun Waterfall, an eternal April day in the world
This woman, because of a poem, has occupied all her youth.
When I was reading Lin Huiyin's poem "You are April in the World", some people said that this poem was written in memory of Xu Zhimo, others said that it was written for the birth of his son, and others said that this poem was written in memory of Xu Zhimo. The poem contains both. It is not only a blessing to Xu Zhimo who is already in heaven, but also a love for his son and the hope he sees in his son.
Reading it again now, I just feel that this poem was just because Lin Huiyin felt extremely happy when he saw a lively and lovely life coming, so he wrote this poem in the tone of writing a letter to his son.
April becomes beautiful with the arrival of a little life that is closely related to you.
I can’t help but read it again, and use this poem to send it to my little son, who was also born in April. You are love, warmth and hope; the best love is to give You have the power to be yourself!
You are April in the world
- a praise of love
I say you are April in the world;
The sound of laughter lights up the surrounding wind; lightness
dances and changes in the glory of spring.
You are the mist in the April morning,
The wind blows softly at dusk, the stars are shining inadvertently, and the fine raindrops are sprinkled on the flowers. forward.
That lightness, that Tingting, you are, Xianyan
You wear the crown of flowers, you are
Innocence, solemnity, you are every night full moon.
The goose yellow after the snow melts, you are like; fresh
The green with the first buds, you are; tender and joyful
The light in the water floats with your dream expectation White lotus in the middle.
You are the flowers blooming on the trees, the swallows
whispering between the beams, - you are love, warmth,
hope, You are April in the world!
