Everyone knows that Lin Huiyin is a talented woman of a generation, but they do not know that if it were not for his father, there would be no Lin Huiyin in the world.
There is a saying: Like father, like daughter. It was through Lin Changmin and Lin Huiyin that I truly understood the meaning of this statement.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Lin Changmin was also a star, and his fame was no less than that of Liang Qichao. He has studied abroad and traveled to Europe, and has outstanding literary talent. Even Xu Zhimo couldn't help but praise him for his talent.
The Lin family has been keen on education since Lin Changmin's father's generation. The children in the family have received Western education since childhood. Therefore, the Lin family's family tradition is also extremely liberal, which can be seen from Lin Huiyin.
Lin Huiyin has a lively personality and likes to make friends. This can be said to be completely inherited from Lin Changmin. No matter where Lin Changmin goes, he must make several new like-minded friends. When he and Lin Huiyin traveled to Europe together, the apartments they rented turned into famous salons.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Huiyin was already acquainted with big names in the British literary and art circles such as Hardy, historian Wells, literary theorist Fortes and others when he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. His father was very He was encouraged to talk to these celebrities, so Huiyin felt like a little salon hostess at a young age.
Thanks to his father, Lin Huiyin was different from those women who lived in deep houses in Beijing since she was a child. She followed her father to travel to Western countries and met celebrities and lofty ideals from all over the world. Her spiritual world is very rich, and her educational starting point is compared to The average person is too tall.
It is said that when raising daughters, some people use material wealth to raise them, but Lin Changmin uses spiritual wealth to raise them. It can be said that Lin Huiyin's literary enlightenment and architectural ideals are inseparable from his father.
Even the encounter between Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin was indirectly introduced by his father. When they were living in Europe, Xu Zhimo and Lin Changmin hit it off and became friends forever. It was during his visit to Lin Changmin that he met the woman who amazed him throughout his life.
I also admire Lin Changmin's approach in handling the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin. When he first learned about Xu Zhimo's pursuit of Lin Huiyin, he did not react at all, but let his daughter handle it on her own. It was not until Lin Huiyin told him his troubles and obtained his daughter's consent that he wrote a letter to Xu Zhimo. letter.
He constantly lowered his attitude when getting along with his daughter and faced her as a friend. Therefore, when dealing with his daughter, he gave her full autonomy and never made any mistakes. Not interfering with her easily, this approach is extremely rare even today.
Lin Changmin once joked with Xu Zhimo: It is not easy to be the father of a gifted daughter. You have to lower your family hierarchy and seek friendship first.
Although his words were a little sad, they were also a little sweet. Obviously he enjoys this kind of relationship.
There is a saying: The pattern of parents determines the fate of the family.
Parents are their children's first teachers, and your appearance will also profoundly affect your child's future appearance.
