That lightness, that Tingting, you are, Xianyan

Innocent, solemn, you are every night The moon is full.

The first budding green, you are tender joy
The water is floating with the white lotus in your dream and expectation .
You are the flowers blooming on the trees, and the swallows
Whispering between the beams, - you are love, warmth,
Hope, You are April in the world!
About the author
Lin Huiyin (June 10, 1904 - April 1, 1955), female, Han nationality, from Min County, Fujian (now Fuzhou), was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang . His original name was Lin Huiyin, and his name came from ""The Great Poetry of Poetry": The great concubine Huiyin is the son of Baisi." Later, because he was often mistaken for "Lin Weiyin", a male writer at that time, he changed his name to "Huiyin".
(Editor: There are three talented women in Fuzhou: Lin Huiyin, Bing Xin, and Lu Yin. As a woman from Fuzhou, I am proud that my hometown has produced such a talented woman with coexistence of beauty, wisdom and talent.)
p>The first wife of the famous Chinese architect, poet, writer and architect Liang Sicheng. In the early 1930s, together with Liang Sicheng, he used modern scientific methods to study ancient Chinese architecture and became a pioneer in this academic field. Later, he achieved great academic achievements in this area and laid a solid scientific foundation for the study of ancient Chinese architecture. . In literature, he has written prose, poetry, novels, scripts, translations and letters, etc. His representative works include "You Are April in the World", "Lotus Lantern", "Ninety-nine Degrees", etc. Among them, "You Are the April Heaven in the World" is the most well-known and widely recited.
I first met Lin Huiyin when I watched the TV series "April in the World". At that time, Lin Huiyin, played by Zhou Xun, was beautiful, talented and beautiful; Xu Zhimo, played by Huang Lei, was handsome, erudite and elegant. ; Zhang Youyi, played by Liu Ruoying, is gentle, virtuous, and tough; Lu Xiaoman, played by Yi Nengjing, is loved by everyone and dares to love and hate. The whole play is still unforgettable and unforgettable.
Speaking of Lin Huiyin, the most talented woman in the Republic of China who was favored by thousands of people, everyone has to mention her love story. She had a lifelong love affair with three great talents-Xu Zhimo, Liang Sicheng, and Jin Yuelin.
It is said that the birth of a love begins with appearance, talent, and loyalty to character. The relationship between Lin Huiyin and the three great talents is the best interpretation!
The book "You Are April in the World" tells the story of Lin Huiyin's early years of studying in England and his love affair with the poet Xu Zhimo. In 1921, 18-year-old Lin Huiyin traveled to Europe. While in England, he met Xu Zhimo, who was studying in the UK at the time. At that time, Xu Zhimo was already the father of a two-year-old child. Lin Huiyin was attracted by Xu Zhimo's profound knowledge, elegant conversation and handsome appearance.
Xu Zhimo was also attracted by Lin Huiyin's outstanding talent and beauty. He spoke highly of her and wrote many love poems for Lin Huiyin. They are talented and beautiful people, and they fell in love at first sight. Both of them were attracted by the elegant literary and artistic atmosphere of the other person, and secretly fell in love. It's a pity that Xu Zhimo was already married and had a son at that time. Although it was ordered by his parents and the matchmaker said that, he did not have a deep relationship with his first wife Zhang Youyi. Therefore, after falling in love with Lin Huiyin, he did not hesitate to divorce his wife who was about to give birth. As a daughter of a famous family, Lin Huiyin could not bear to see herself become the "third party" who ruined other people's marriages, being criticized and the target of public criticism. Therefore, she flatly rejected Xu Zhimo's pursuit and later married the well-matched Liang Sicheng. Xu Zhimo married another The other person - Lu Xiaoman, the two of them maintained a pure and close friendship until their death.
Later, Lin Huiyin married Liang Sicheng, the son of Liang Qichao, who was both old and new, good-looking and of similar family status. The two like-minded people created a precedent in the history of Chinese architecture. Liang Sicheng always loved Lin Huiyin very much. Respecting his wife's feelings and supporting both parties' artistic careers has become a popular story in history.
When it comes to Lin Huiyin and his wife’s neighbor Jin Yuelin, a generation of philosophers, we can’t help but be moved by his infatuation and persistence. For the sake of his close friend Lin Huiyin, he never married. This seemingly Platonic love has become an enviable one. A legend of a generation.
Between Xu Zhimo, Jin Yuelin, and Liang Sicheng, the former has been secretly in love with her for a long time, while the latter is obsessed with her and is willing not to marry her for the rest of his life. He is also the man she deeply loves. , and the third one is her husband, a close relative who has built a long-term boat ferry for a hundred years. In fact, her choice of marriage was the right one, and it is because of this that a well-known legend in the world has been narrated.
All the men Lin Huiyin met in his life were not ordinary people, and they all had some degree of like-mindedness with this talented woman. She shared poetry with Xu Zhimo, academics with Jin Yuelin, and endless conversations with Liang Sicheng about art.
Lin Huiyin preserved the pure emotion between the three men, handled it in a measured manner, advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and laid out the pure friendship in an orderly manner. From this point alone, he can be called a A wonderful story in the world.
This most talented woman of the Republic of China, Lin Huiyin, who combined beauty, wisdom and talent, is, as the painter Xu Yichuan's inscription said, "unparalleled in elegance, hard to find in the world, and admired by future generations."
