The love-hate entanglement between these two talented women in the Republic of China and several well-known and promising men at that time became the talk of future generations after dinner, which kept them alive. Before reading them, as a person who doesn't know much about them, this is most of my impressions. Fortunately, after reading their anthology, I lost my deep misunderstanding, and I have a deeper admiration for those independent women who strive to pursue their beliefs and persist in getting rid of secular shackles.
Both Lin and Lu Xiaoman were born in aristocratic families at that time, and enjoyed unique material and educational resources. As we said today, some people were born in Rome, and their starting point is the end point that ordinary people can't pursue in their lives.
Lin is known as a famous architect, poet and writer in China ... When talking about Lin's works, the first thing that comes to mind may be "You are April on earth", but don't forget that she is a famous architect first. She participated in the design of many architectural works, and was one of the designers of China Monument to the People's Heroes, the emblem of the Republic of China in China. A woman's appearance, temperament and literary talent often make people ignore the most tenacious part of her body, and it is this tenacity that makes Mr. Lin.
Lin traveled to Europe with his father when he was sixteen, and was inspired by the London landlady architect to study architecture. Later, he went to America to learn architecture from Liang Sicheng, the son of Liang Qichao, and then they got married. After finishing their studies, they returned to China and set up their own architecture department in China. During the war years, the husband and wife traveled all over the country and explored nearly 3,000 historical sites. In the era of war, warlordism and bandits, helpless intellectuals were ignored, braved bullets and suffered from illness, and their lives were in danger at any time, but they could not stop their deep affection and love for ancient buildings. Mr. and Mrs. Lin Liang have made immortal contributions to China's architectural career, and become the model and leader of the younger generation of architecture, so that they can always have a beautiful dream.
In addition to Lin's architectural achievements, her literary attainments can not be ignored. Her poems are soft and delicate, her novels are inspiring and memorable, and her prose is thought-provoking. Most of these literary works were created by her while exploring architectural monuments. During that time, Lin's lung disease was very serious. She had a high fever for several months and was bedridden. Liang Sicheng himself suffers from spinal soft tissue sclerosis, and he walks unsteadily and is inconvenient to move. Children can only wear sandals and make a living by pawning clothes and watches, and the whole family is in a situation of poverty and illness. It is said that from simplicity to luxury, from luxury to simplicity, but a woman who can go down in history will always have a spiritual world higher than material needs.
Lin's talent is self-evident, but the emotional story of a talented woman is more interesting. At the age of sixteen, Lin met Xu Zhimo who fell in love with him at first sight in London. At that time, Xu had a family, although he was ordered by his parents to be a matchmaker. Xu Zhimo should be her first love, and reason made her come out in time. Generally speaking, a girl of 16 years old can't resist Xu Zhimo's romantic feelings in Seeds of Love, but this is Lin. She chose Liang Sicheng, who is like-minded and has great feelings for architecture. Only partners with the same ideals and viewpoints can go further. They stayed together until you went somewhere, leaving a story of a gentleman on the beam and a beauty under the forest.
Perhaps the only regret is that after Lin's death, Liang Sicheng married Lin's student and his own student's wife regardless of external pressure. Perhaps the forest has always been high above, like a star holding the moon. As a husband, Liang Sicheng's light has been weakened and he has been looking up at Lin. Any man longs for a woman who worships himself, and Liang is no exception, which is in line with his wish.
As a woman, Lin's life should be complete. Brilliant career, sensational contemporary fame, * * * a partner who is advancing and retreating together and admires her is a man she has never married. Isn't this something that many women can't get all their lives?
Let's talk about Lu Xiaoman. Many people compare her with Lin. Two people with completely different personalities are doomed to different lives, but who has the right to judge whether their lives are good or bad?
Lu Xiaoman was hired as a translator in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the age of seventeen, and studied Chinese painting under Liu Haisu. He is a modern painter and writer. What is even more impressive is that she is a social butterfly who is also called "Southern Tang and Northern China" with Tang Ying.
Compared with Lin, Lu Xiaoman is a talented girl spoiled by wealth. I like shopping for clothes, playing cards and partying, socializing, and even getting opium later.
Many people say that Lu Xiaoman is a daughter, yes, she is. /kloc-When I was 0/9 years old, I married Wang Geng. She was a minor in Beijing and graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. After knowing Xu Zhimo, I just want to say, "I married someone else at the instigation of my parents' matchmaker. Although I was a teenager at that time, my mind was as confused as a child. After more than a year of marriage, I learned a little about personnel and understood that the combination of the two sexes cannot be arranged casually by others. It is the most difficult combination in the world in terms of temperament and thought.
Indeed, she has a point. A good girl who pursues romance and has received western education is unwilling to waste her life in an arranged marriage. She aborted her child with Wang Geng, divorced at all costs and married Xu Zhimo. Later, she was infertile. Their wedding invited Xu Zhimo's teacher and Lin's father-in-law Liang Qichao as witnesses. This is the most embarrassing witness in history. I glanced at them and called them obscene. Under Xu Zhimo's low pleading, I finally said, I hope this is the last time you two get married.
A woman who aborts her native child and resolutely divorces her, and a man who aborts her native child and resolutely divorces her, may be extremely guilty and make their lives miserable.
After marriage, Lu Xiaoman still lived a luxurious life. In order to support Lu, Xu Zhimo holds the post of three factions. Once love falls on daily necessities, there will be quarrels. Before Xu Zhimo flew to see Lin's speech and crashed, they had a big fight. Lu Xiaoman threw a pipe at Xu, missed it, broke his eye, and Xu slammed the door. This farewell never came back.
Lu Xiaoman deeply repented, and the past turned into memories. She has regretted it all her life, and she is still burdened with people's spit and abuse. She couldn't even attend Xu Zhimo's funeral, and she was not buried with Xu Zhimo after her death.
Lu Xiaoman was a very loose person before Xu's death. After Xu's death, she wrote in "Weeping Mo": I made up my mind to promise you that you will never dream of lying in bed with your eyes open again, and you will have to fight it at last. Either it is born, or I will fall. I have to be what you always wanted me to be. I am determined to be a man, and I am determined to do something serious.
Since then, "I'll answer your heart when editing" has become the motivation for Lu Xiaoman to live. She concentrated on collecting Xu Zhimo's works, painstakingly writing and copying manuscripts, and running around, and finally she finished the last thing she could do for her beloved.
The rest of Lu Xiaoman's life was a long period of redemption and compensation, and he lived a miserable life. At the age of 53, under the arrangement of Chen Yi, the mayor of Shanghai, she joined the Shanghai Literature and History Museum as a librarian, and her life was guaranteed.
If there was no war, maybe Lu Xiaoman would be richer in his later years.
Lu Xiaoman pursued his heart all his life and lived a carefree life. Everyone has the right to pursue a free and happy life, but at the same time, she has to give up a lot, such as fame, status and family ties ... If she can compensate for these losses, Lu Xiaoman's life will be complete, at least she still has love.
Every woman longs to be a forest, but she often lives to be a low-quality version of Lu Xiaoman. Some people say that Lu Xiaoman is Xu Zhimo's second best, so what? After marriage, Xu's doting on Lu is true. Even before the plane crash, Lu Xiaoman scolded him, but he still took her painting with him.
Bettina brentano, a German woman writer, said that love can't keep up with the development of reason, and such love can't be stable.
There are too many variables in life, so please bring your reason when making a choice.
