Home Categories Biographical memories Talking about Great Literati in the Republic of China: Those Masters of Thought
In the article "Running the Alarm" written by Wang Zengqi, when a professor of philosophy surnamed Jin ran away from the alarm, he carried a safe with a love letter in it.This person must be Mr. Jin without a doubt. Mr. Jin Yuelin has Ji Kang's innocence, but not Ji Kang's arrogance.Jin Yuelin never married because he loved Lin Huiyin all his life. Jin Yuelin and Liang Sicheng have a deep friendship. For a long time, they have always lived next to each other, often in the front and back of a house.Occasionally not in one place, such as in Kunming and Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War, Jin Yuelin always went to live in Liang's house whenever he had vacations.Jin Yuelin admired Lin Huiyin's character and talent very much, and cared for him very much; Lin Huiyin also admired and loved him very much.

According to Lin Zhu, Liang Sicheng's continuation, once Lin Huiyin told Liang Sicheng with a mournful face that she was extremely distressed because she fell in love with two people at the same time and didn't know what to do.Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng were family friends, and the two grew up together, so they made no secrets about him, as frank as a younger sister asking her elder brother for advice.Liang Sicheng's natural conflict was extremely painful. He thought hard all night and compared Jin Yuelin's superiority to himself. He finally told his wife: She is free. If she chooses Jin Yuelin, I wish them happiness forever.Lin Huiyin told Jin Yuelin everything exactly.Jin Yuelin's answer was so frank and honest that it surprised ordinary people: "It seems that Sicheng really loves you. I can't hurt a person who really loves you. I should quit."

Since then, the three of them have had no grievances, and Jin Yuelin still lives next to them, and they trust each other more. Even Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin quarreled, and they sought arbitration from the rational and calm Jin Yuelin.Jin Yuelin likes raising chickens because Lin Huiyin gave him a few chicks. Jin Yuelin wrote an interesting incident in the article "Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are my closest friends".He has a constant habit of research and writing time in the morning.One day when he was doing research in his study, he heard Liang Sicheng calling him mysteriously in a bass voice.He ran to the yard, but there was no one there, and when he looked up, he found that the husband and wife were sitting on the unstable roof, looking at him and laughing.He said, come down to me quickly.The two laughed.

Mr. Jin's admiration for Lin Huiyin is well known to everyone.Lin Huiyin's husband Liang Sicheng once said frankly: "The person who loves Lin Huiyin the most is actually Jin Yuelin."Can it be understood that the "gentleman on the beam" stole my "beauty under the forest". In 1955, Lin Huiyin died, and Jin Yuelin was in great pain. It happened that one of his students came to see him in the office.His student recalled the scene at that time and said: "He didn't speak at first, and then suddenly said: 'Lin Huiyin is gone!' As he spoke, he burst into tears. He leaned his arms on the desk. I stood quietly. Beside him, I don't know what to say. After a few minutes, he slowly stopped crying. He wiped away his tears, sat quietly on the chair, his eyes were dull, and he didn't say a word. I sat with him in silence for a while , and accompanied him back to Yandong Garden."

When Jin Yuelin recalled Lin Huiyin's memorial service, he said: "The memorial service was held in Xianliang Temple. I was very sad, and my tears never stopped..." Jin Yuelin's deep affection for Lin Huiyin was hidden all his life.At Lin Huiyin's memorial service on April 2, 1955, the elegiac couplet jointly inscribed by Jin Yuelin and Deng Yizhe was particularly eye-catching: "A poetic Qianxun Waterfall, April Day in the eternal world." Many years after Lin Huiyin's death, one day, 90-year-old Jin Yuelin solemnly invited some close friends to a banquet at the Beijing Hotel, and everyone was puzzled.Before the meeting, he announced: "Today is Lin Huiyin's birthday!"

The author of "The Biography of Lin Huiyin" wanted to ask Mr. Jin, who was 86 years old at the time, to write a paragraph to Lin Huiyin. After thinking for a long time, Mr. Jin slowly replied: "Everything I say should be said to her. I can't say it, I don't I don't want to say what the opportunity says to herself, and I don't want to have such a thing." According to Chen Yu, who interviewed Jin Lao in his later years, Jin Yuelin was very excited when he saw Lin Huiyin's photo: He took the hand, probably never seen it before, staring at it, the corners of his mouth gradually curved down, as if he was about to cry.His throat moved slightly, as if a thousand words were stuck there.Without saying a word, he held the photo tightly, as if afraid that the person in the shadow would fly away.After a long time, he raised his head and said to us like a child pleading: "Give it to me!" Chen and others agreed to take a remake for him, but Mr. Jin cupped his hands in fear that others would forget, and said, "That's good, that's good, then Let me thank you in advance!" When he got the photo, according to Chen: He held the photo, stared at it, the wrinkles on his face immediately stretched out, and murmured: "Ah, this is great! This Great!" The nerves were excited again.

One thing later, let us once again understand Jin Yuelin's feelings for Lin Huiyin from the side.A student Jin Yuelin loved was suddenly hit by a setback in marriage and love, and had suicidal thoughts.Jin Yuelin went to comfort him many times, and tried his best to enlighten the student, so that the student realized that love is a process, the end of love, marriage or not, is just a stage in the process of love. Therefore, the happiness of love depends on the whole process of love. From the perspective of the process, not just from the outcome of love.In the end, the student was freed from the painful mental crisis.

Jin Yuelin never married.Li Wenyi's article "Reminiscing about Comrade Jin Yuelin's Life Anecdotes" revealed that after liberation Jin Yuelin planned to marry Pu Xixiu, a well-known journalist. In the 1960s, the central organization of the Democratic League studied in Beijing as a member of the Central Committee. Jin Yuelin actively participated as a member of the Central Standing Committee, and thus met Pu Xixiu, a well-known journalist in the same group.The two had a close relationship, and Jin often asked her to have dinner at home.Soon, they fell in love and were ready to get married.Unfortunately, at this time, Jin Yuelin was hospitalized due to illness, and Pu Xixiu was also diagnosed with cancer, so the marriage was delayed.After he was discharged from the hospital, he immediately went to visit Pu Xixiu. At this time, due to the rapid development of her condition, she was bedridden.Jin Yuelin finally did not get married.
