Talented woman in the Republic of China Lin Huiyin came from a scholarly family. Her grandfather was Lin Xiaoxun, a former Hanlin of the Qing Dynasty, and her father was Lin Changmin . In the 23rd year of the Guangxu period, Lin Changmin became a scholar, but he understood that the Qing Dynasty was already setting, so he gave up the imperial examination and studied in Waseda University in Japan. After returning to China, he made great achievements in the Republic of China.
Lin Changmin got married three times in his life. His first wife was the first wife who was arranged for a marriage. This first wife was weak and sickly. She died of illness within a few years of marriage and did not leave any children. The second wife is He Xueyuan, the daughter of a wealthy businessman. He Xueyuan was also handled by Lin Changmin's parents for Lin Changmin. He Xueyuan is not beautiful, uneducated, and has no gentle personality. Lin Changmin is not satisfied with her.
He Xueyuan gave birth to three children after getting started, but both the eldest son and the second daughter died, and only the eldest daughter Lin Huiyin grew up healthy. When Lin Huiyin was nine years old, Lin Changmin fell in love with Cheng Guilin, a young and beautiful Shanghai woman, and took her as a concubine.
After Cheng Guilin got started, he gave birth to four sons in a row. In addition, he was gentle and educated, so Lin Changmin loved her very much, and He Xueyuan was neglected by her husband and her temper became worse and worse. But the daughter Lin Huiyin, born by He Xueyuan, is completely different from He Xueyuan.
Lin Huiyin is born beautiful, smart, studious, and understanding. The Lin family likes her very much. As a father, Lin Changmin likes her even more and loves her more than her four sons. Lin Huiyin later became a famous architect, famous professor and famous female writer in China, but her four concubines' younger brothers did not achieve much.
In this way, Lin Huiyin, a legitimate daughter, is smarter than the four concubines, but this is not the case. As a scholarly male, Lin Changmin's four concubines should be extremely smart. Why are they not as successful as Lin Huiyin? This is because their growth environment and educational conditions are far inferior to Lin Huiyin.
Lin Changmin trained his daughter Lin Huiyin. When Lin Huiyin was fifteen years old, he took her around the world to see the world. Later, he sent Lin Huiyin to study abroad. Lin Changmin died in 1925. Lin Huiyin was only twenty-one years old at this time. Her four concubine brothers were only ten years old. In other words, Lin Changmin had no time to raise four sons.
The literati of the Republic of China do not like to save money, so they use it if they have money because they have the ability to make money. When Lin Changmin died, he did not leave much money for his family. Liang Qichao also raised funds for Lin Changmin's family.
Lin Changmin's four concubines were no longer there when they grew up. These four concubines were raised by their concubine Cheng Guilin, and the family was not rich at that time. This is why Lin Changmin’s four concubines failed to achieve success.
Lin Huiyin grew up in a different environment than her four concubine brothers. Lin Huiyin was educated and trained by her father Lin Changmin, while her four concubine brothers were educated and trained by their biological mother, the concubine Cheng Guilin. How could this be the same? Even if his concubine Cheng Guilin has some culture, can she compare with Lin Changmin?
Therefore, human origin is very important, human genes are very important, but people's education environment and growth environment are more important. Lin Huiyin's four concubine younger brothers are not as successful as Lin Huiyin because their educational environment and growth environment are far inferior to Lin Huiyin.
