A Brief Introduction to the Love Story between Xu Zhimo and Lin

In terms of age, Xu Zhimo was born in 1897, which is 1896 according to the lunar calendar. How old is Lin? She was born in 1904. She is eight years younger than Xu Zhimo according to the lunar calendar and seven years old according to the solar calendar. Xu zhimo 19 18 Peking University went to the United States to study after graduation, and later came to Britain to study because he admired the western philosopher Russell very much. I didn't know Russell had gone to China to give a lecture until I arrived in England, so he lived in London. At this time, I met Lin's father and Lin at my home. Lin Cai 16 years old, still a middle school student. This happened in the autumn of 1920. At the end of the same year, Xu Zhimo took Zhang Youyi to England and lived in a place called Shaston next to Cambridge University. At that time, their relationship was not very good, but it did not reach the point of divorce. One is a married man with children, 24 years old; One is a girl who is not in love, only 16 years old, how can she reach that level at once! During this period, Xu Zhimo once expressed a little affection for Lin. Lin panicked when he saw the letter. He was afraid to write back to Xu Zhimo. Lin Changmin wrote a reply to Xu Zhimo. Now I found Lin Changmin's letter to Xu Zhimo, which said, "Your passion is so strong that people feel shocked. Your emblem is confused and I don't know how to answer it. No sarcasm. I think it is misunderstood. " Lin Changmin's attitude is beyond our imagination now. Think about it, that was more than 80 years ago. Even if you give it to your parents who are a little feudal now, you have to get a knife. I was so kind to you that I asked you to come to my house for dinner and tea and came up with my daughter's idea. Great! But Lin Changmin didn't do it. He was educated, studied in Japan, graduated from Waseda University in Japan, and studied the Constitution. He said he could understand. The letter means that my daughter is too young to know how to write to you. She has no intention of being dissatisfied. Don't get me wrong, she asked me to say hello. It can be seen that they didn't actually reach that level at that time, but they developed a little late, and they were just two categories. When Lin grew up, he also missed this hazy feeling and even felt a little sorry for Xu Zhimo. What I want to explore now is whether 16-year-old Lin wanted to fall in love with a man. My opinion is yes. 1937 At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Lin arrived in Changsha and was in a bad mood. She wrote a letter to Shen Congwen. Because it was raining all the time, I thought of my mood in London. The letter said that my father went to the League of Nations in Switzerland for a meeting. She lives alone in a big house and it is raining outside. She reads alone in the big room during the day and eats alone in the dining hall at night, with her legs hanging down and her two braids hanging over her shoulders. While eating, I bit my finger with my mouth and cried. At this time, I always hope that something romantic will happen in my life, or someone will knock at the door and sit opposite to talk to her, or sit upstairs by the fire and tell her stories. The most important thing is that someone will love her But the reality is that it rains every day, and no romantic and intelligent person comes to play with her. Xu Zhimo loved her, and she felt it, but it didn't develop. Later, she had some regrets. 65438-0927 When he was studying in America, it happened that Hu Shi came to America. Lin once wrote to Hu Shi: Please tell Zhimo after returning home that I have had enough of loneliness and met many disappointments in the past three years. Tell him that I absolutely don't blame him, but I hope he will forgive me for my ignorance. I went through his old letters one by one yesterday, and now I really know Lao Zhimo thoroughly. The past is over, there is no need to mention it now. I just want to remember it forever. In fact, during the spring and summer of 1924, their feelings developed to the point of falling in love. It was in the spring of 193 1 that Xu Zhimo really got to the point of talking about marriage after he went to Beijing to teach. In other words, Lin and Xu Zhimo did fall in love, but the process was long and tortuous, not the kind of love at first sight. Now that you mention it, you will know how ridiculous the treatment of April day on earth is. One thing can verify the deep affection between Lin and Xu Zhimo. Xu Zhimo193119 died in a plane crash in Dangjiazhuang, near Jinan. Liang Sicheng came from Beiping to handle the funeral and picked up a charred piece of wood from the scene. Unlike today, airplanes at that time were made of wood. He picked up a piece of airplane wreckage and took it back to the forest. Lin was very sad, so she hung this piece of wood on the bedside of her bedroom. Until 1955 died, she hung like this. She felt that she loved Xu Zhimo, and Xu Zhimo died to go back and listen to her speech. She will commemorate him in this way. This is almost unimaginable in our present situation. At this point, I mean, we have failed in the purity and persistence of feelings and the understanding of lofty feelings. I personally think so. For example, a man, your wife loves an old lover of hers. Of course, there is nothing between them, just like him or thank him. They are very good friends. One day, your wife's friend died in a plane crash. Will you handle his funeral for her? And because you know that your wife likes him, you must pick up the wreckage of a plane for her at the scene and give it to your wife for safekeeping. On the other hand, your wife likes him very much. Although you are my husband, although you lie in this bed every night, you still have to hang the wreckage of this plane on the wall respectfully. I believe that few of us can do it. All we could do was live forever, but they did. Some people may say that Xu Zhimo is dead anyway. She just thinks of him like this, and there will be nothing else. Such an excellent woman will definitely not have second thoughts on her husband. In fact, she had second thoughts about her husband, but she did so very openly.
