Speaking of the "goddess of the Republic of China" Lin Huiyin , we have to mention one of her admirers - Xu Zhimo . The song " Farewell to Cambridge " is the eternal white moonlight in the hearts of a generation of literary youth. This woman who fascinated him eventually married the eldest son of Liang Qichao, a well-known Chinese architect, Liang Sicheng. After combining with Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin also became a well-known figure in the field of architecture in my country.
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin were considered a famous couple at the time, but surprisingly, after Lin Huiyin passed away due to illness, another woman walked into Liang Sicheng's life, and finally the two successfully married and lived together. for ten years.
This woman’s name is Lin Zhu. After she married Liang Sicheng, she endured humiliation for 10 years. After Liang Sicheng died, she couldn't wait to sell her late husband's belongings, including Lin Huiyin's dowry, and the proceeds exceeded 2.18 million yuan. Who is this Lin Zhu? Why would she do this?
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin
As the public knows, maybe Liang Sicheng was not Lin Huiyin’s original choice, or maybe in her heart, Liang couldn’t even get into the top three in the beginning. Lin Huiyin was born in a scholarly family. His grandfather was a former Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty. His father and uncle were both democratic and progressive people.
She received an excellent education since she was a child, and even got the opportunity to travel abroad at an early age. Growing up in such a family with a comfortable environment, Lin Huiyin encountered relatively advanced Western education since she was a child. Compared with women from traditional family backgrounds, she has more free ideas and views on love.
When she was young, Lin Huiyin showed her love and talent for literature. At that time, she participated in a poetry club founded by the new literature master Hu Shi. In this literary organization, she met her father's student Xu Zhimo, and the two became very close. Almost falling in love.
This combination of talent and beauty was really enviable by others at the time, and Lin Huiyin thought she could just go on like this. At this time, through her father's introduction, she met Liang Sicheng again. Although Liang Sicheng is just a dull architect, his family background is very prominent. The famous Liang Qichao is his father.
At that time, Lin Huiyin was beautiful and talented, and had many suitors including Liang Sicheng and Xu Zhimo. Lin Huiyin was not very old, so he naturally wanted to ask his family for their opinions. But she did not ask her mother for her opinion. Because of the family tradition of favoring boys over girls, her parents had a bad relationship after she was born, and her mother was always dissatisfied with Lin Huiyin.
Since the relationship between mother and daughter was not good, Lin Huiyin had no choice but to listen to his father's opinion. Out of the well-matched and mutually beneficial orientation, Lin's father naturally strongly recommended Liang Sicheng. In this way, in 1928, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng finally came together after falling in love for many years.
Teacher married student wife
Lin Huiyin, who was married to a married woman, worked hard as a good wife and mother in the following decades, giving Liang Sicheng meticulous care in work and life. Although he came from a wealthy family, he didn’t know anything about housework at first.
However, during the trough of poverty and difficult times, she always stayed by Liang Sicheng's side and became the family's strongest support. In addition, Lin Huiyin also showed his talent in architecture. Because her major is architecture, she participated in the protection, repair and restoration of a large number of ancient Chinese buildings , and also participated in the design of famous buildings such as the national emblem.
Lin Huiyin's naturally thin physique, coupled with many years of wandering life, caused Lin Huiyin's lung disease to relapse frequently. As he grew older, it even turned into tuberculosis. Under the medical conditions in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this disease was difficult to cure, so she spent much of the last period of her life in a hospital bed.
At this time, Lin Zhu, who was Lin Huiyin's student, often came to visit. She was only one year older than Lin Huiyin's child. Due to the teacher-student relationship, Lin Huiyin treated her as his own daughter. Because of this, with Lin Huiyin's active matchmaking, Lin Zhu eventually married Liang Sicheng's student Cheng Yingquan . The two people who were originally close to each other probably didn't expect that their identities would change dramatically many years later.
Lin Huiyin still failed to overcome the disease. After her death, Liang Sicheng had to take care of his mother and children at home in a grief-stricken mood. For a widower who lost his wife, the emotional and family pressure almost drove him crazy. . At this time, Lin Zhu, as a woman, happened to lend a helping hand to him.
With her help, Liang Sicheng's family quickly returned to normal, which also laid the foundation for the subsequent union of the two. Within a few years, Lin Zhu went through the divorce process as a matter of course, and soon completed the union with her husband, teacher Liang Sicheng.
made a huge sum of money at auction
This kind of combination that was not pursued legally but violated moral standards was naturally criticized by most people around them. Several of Liang Sicheng's friends, including Shen Congwen and others, not only ridiculed the fact that he remarried his late wife, a student, and the student's ex-wife, but also issued statements in public to break off the relationship.
Lin Zhu’s side was even worse. She was perhaps the woman who was scolded the most fiercely by the intellectual class at that time. Although these scoldings were used in every possible way, they woke up Lin Zhu - she had no choice but to walk on with a low eyebrow, and there was no way back.
After that, Lin Zhu became the most taciturn person in the Liang family. Not only did outsiders look down upon her, even the children of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin also made sarcastic remarks to her, and even attacked her several times. But these contradictions could not be comforted by Liang Sicheng.
Because from Liang Sicheng's point of view, he probably didn't expect that this move would bring him so much infamy at first, and maybe he was already full of regrets. Under the double pressure of "internal and external troubles", Lin Zhu withstood the heavy pressure, but did not expect that he would only receive a small amount of cash as an inheritance before Liang Sicheng's death.
This meager amount of cash became the fuse that ignited Lin Zhu's grievance. After 10 years of enduring humiliation, he received such a small amount of compensation, and he had to rely on this little money to support Liang Sicheng's elderly mother. Forced by extreme psychological imbalance and survival needs, Lin Zhu began to sort out Liang Sicheng's belongings and start auctioning them.
also contains part of Lin Huiyin. It is said that only part of Lin Huiyin's dowry was auctioned by Lin Zhu for 2.18 million yuan.. Her actions were widely criticized by the outside world, and many people who admired Lin Huiyin even criticized Lin Zhu's actions. However, she ignored these voices and instead published a book to compare herself with Lin Huiyin in an attempt to change outside perceptions.
Conclusion
There is nothing new under the sun. An ordinary inheritance fight may have a legendary flavor just because it happened in a legendary family.
