If there is any era in our modern history when the flower of love blooms with great enthusiasm, then it is the era of the Republic of China. At that time, although the times were very gloomy, after all, various schools of thought were contending, and people's actions and thoughts were relatively free.
At that time, the way to express love was also very straightforward compared to modern times. Xu Zhimo was definitely one of the great lovers at that time. There were many people who had emotional entanglements with him, and one of them that must be mentioned is Lin Huiyin, a talented woman from the Republic of China.
In 1924, Tagore, the great writer who had won the Nobel Prize, came to China, and he was invited by Lin Changmin, the father of Lin Huiyin. And because Xu Zhimo was Tagore's accompanying translator, the two met again many years later. At that time, Tagore gave Lin Huiyin only three lines of poetry, but it already revealed the ending of her and Xu Zhimo.
Xu Zhimo was naturally very happy about this opportunity to accompany Tagore. Because of Lin Changmin's hosting relationship, he was able to meet Lin Huiyin again. At the beginning of the meeting, Xu Zhimo saw his long-separated former lover, and his eyes had long been inseparable from Lin Huiyin.
The reason why Xu Zhimo couldn’t wait to volunteer this time was to become Tagore’s accompanying translator. The first reason is because he and Tagore have been friends for a long time. The other reason, and the most important reason, is that he can see Lin Huiyin in such a workplace.
Although Xu Zhimo never forgot Lin Huiyin, at this meeting, Xu Zhimo also knew that Lin Huiyin had been engaged to Liang Sicheng during this period, so he also knew in his heart that he and Lin Huiyin were back together. The possibility is not high, but despite this, Xu Zhimo still can't let go of this relationship.
In fact, their relationship was a mistake from the beginning. Three years before this meeting, Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin met in London, but at that time Lin Huiyin was not yet 18 years old. Of course, one was Lin Huiyin, a young girl, and the other was Xu Zhimo, an enthusiastic suitor. There will definitely be sparks of love when they come together.
But the biggest problem is that Xu Zhimo was already married to Zhang Youyi as early as that time in London. Although Xu Zhimo's first marriage was an arranged marriage in feudal society, this marriage was real and completely bound Xu Zhimo.
However, Xu Zhimo was not willing to do this. Because of his crazy obsession and pursuit of Lin Huiyin, he even gave his newlywed wife an abortion at all costs, and followed closely with a divorce letter.
From one perspective, Xu Zhimo did have a deep love for Lin Huiyin's marriage, but this kind of relationship was not what Lin Huiyin wanted, because Xu Zhimo's almost crazy behavior at that time completely scared Lin Huiyin.
Lin Huiyin felt at that time that this man could do whatever it took for his feelings, at any cost. At that time, Lin Huiyin’s father arranged a marriage for him in China, with Liang Sicheng, a famous architect at the time. marriage.
In this way, Lin Huiyin obeyed his father's wishes and returned to China to make an engagement with his lover Liang Sicheng. Xu Zhimo not only lost his original wife, but also failed to grasp the feelings of such a chance encounter.
Although Xu Zhimo was very eager to see Lin Huiyin, he still focused on work at this meeting. Both of them had a tacit understanding and everything was centered on Tagore. Although Lin Huiyin was very concerned about the situation at that time. Xu Zhimo's crazy pursuit did not show any consent, but when they met again, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Tagore and Xu Zhimo were close friends. His age was much higher than that of Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin. During this meeting, Tagore had already discovered that Zhimo was obsessed with Lin Huiyin. So during the break, Tagore raised this doubt, and Xu Zhimo did not hide it at that time, and he also wanted Tagore to advise him on how to save this relationship.
Tagore knew that it was not easy for him to get involved in such matters between men and women, but after all, Xu Zhimo had already made the request, so Tagore did not point out the direction clearly, but just told Xu Zhimo that he had long hidden it in his heart. a poem. This poem is about - the blue of the sky, falling in love with the green of the earth, the breeze between them sighed, hey!
In fact, Tagore’s casual verse is not difficult to understand. What he expresses is: Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin, the two of them are like the sky and the earth. The shining points of each are in line with each other's wishes, so they admire each other. But there are hundreds of thousands of miles between the earth and the sky. No matter what, these two things can never come together.
So from the perspective of an onlooker like Tagore, the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin must have ended in vain.
Of course, it can also be seen that Tiger's observation is very accurate. He knows that as literature lovers, Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin must have their own shining points, and they also have many similar topics.
It is not unusual for these two literary young people to have a spark of love in a foreign country. However, despite this, Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin were like two incompatible things. Moreover, Lin Huiyin was already engaged, so how could he give up everything to pursue romantic love?
Moreover, Tiger also saw the meaning that Xu Zhimo did not see. At the meeting three years later, Lin Huiyin had actually already let go of the past, and her feelings were only filled with emotion. , no nostalgia, only Xu Zhimo is crazy and obsessed with this relationship.
So Tiger also knew that Xu Zhimo was completely wishful thinking about this relationship. For Lin Huiyin who already had a family, it was impossible for him to take a trip into this muddy water again.
After Tagore’s visit to China, before leaving, Tagore gave this poem originally written to Xu Zhimo to Lin Huiyin. Of course, as a famous literary talent during the Republic of China, Lin Huiyin could not I don’t know what Tagore means.
Just as Tagore predicted, the two of them did not get together in the end, and Xu Zhimo's fate was relatively more tragic. He not only lost his original wife, but also lost this painful relationship. He pursued a love relationship with great difficulty, and later fell in love with his best friend's wife. However, in the process of pursuing this unethical love, he died in a plane crash.
As the saying goes, things are impermanent!
