Chapter 10 Liang Qichao's eldest son

At that time, Liang Sicheng had already been admitted to the preparatory class for studying in the United States at Tsinghua Academy.Tsinghua Academy's preparatory class for studying in the United States lasted eight years. In 1922, Liang Sicheng was about to graduate.This year, he was 21 years old, 3 years older than Lin Huiyin.Under the arrangement of their parents, they fell in love from acquaintance. Liang Qichao, who was famous for advocating political reform and maintaining the news, and Lin Changmin, a famous constitutionalist, were once well-known political figures, elegant and open-minded literati, and social sages who could not bear the filth of officialdom and retreated bravely.They became close friends because of their outstanding talents and sense of humor.In the eyes of these two close friends, this family relationship is very comparable.

Beijing Jingshan Houjie Xuechi Lin Apartment is an elegant courtyard.At the beginning, Lin Changmin decided to buy this yard. In addition to being located in the center of Beijing and having a peaceful environment, he also took a fancy to the two tall and straight Chinese castanna trees in the backyard.After moving here, he wrote poems and inscriptions and called himself "Shuangqiang old man".It's spring, and the scaly leaves of the castania tree are green and green, and the bright yellow flowers are eye-catching.Looking out from the courtyard, the White Pagoda of Beihai Park stands elegantly and exquisitely under the clear sky like a jade carving.

There is a wisteria in the small courtyard where Huiyin and her mother live. The small leaves of the wisteria are oblong and densely wrapped around the stem like feathers. Sicheng often comes here to visit Huiyin. My mother liked this young man who was originally from Guangdong.He is humble, polite and shy with honesty.Although he is not tall, he looks very energetic.More importantly, mother could tell that Huiyin liked him.The mother looked at the two young people who were immersed in happiness with delight. They were like a pair of little pigeons. Whenever they came to one place, they would mutter endlessly.

Huiyin likes to be with Sicheng. They have too many similarities in terms of background, upbringing and cultural composition. The similarity in temperament and taste makes their communication very tacit.It is often when Huiyin sees mischievous sparks in Sicheng's eyes during his jokes that he knows that Sicheng has fully understood what he is thinking.There are also many times when Sicheng tells Huiyin something, and Huiyin will be surprised. This is exactly what he wants to say, so why did he let him say it.This kind of spiritual blending and mutual arrival makes them feel that their hearts are very close to each other.Sicheng is not very good at words, but he has a sense of humor.His quiet banter often makes Huiyin laugh.Sicheng is not tall, but his sincerity and generosity make Huiyin feel at ease and at ease.

In addition to his excellent academic performance, Sicheng also has a wide range of hobbies.He has studied violin and piano, and is a member of the school singing team and captain of the wind band.He is the backbone of the school art club and serves as the art editor of the school magazine.His pen drawings are chic, concise and fresh.He is also a well-known football player in Tsinghua Academy, and won the first place in the high jump at the school sports meeting.He is also very good at gymnastics, and his horizontal bar and parallel bar skills are outstanding among his classmates. As the eldest son, Liang Qichao placed great love and high hopes on him.With the support and help of his father, he translated Wells' "Outline of World History" with his classmates Wu Wenzao and Xu Zongshu when he was studying in Tsinghua Academy, and the Commercial Press published this translation.

Beginning in 1914, Liang Qichao was hired to give lectures at Tsinghua University.Liang Qichao was worried that his children would lose the traditional Chinese culture if they received Western education in Tsinghua University, so he taught them every holiday.He talked about "the origin of Chinese studies", "academics of the former Qing Dynasty", "Mencius" and "Mozi", etc. His father's greatest influence on Sicheng was his optimistic, cheerful, enterprising personality and rigorous and solid academic style.Tsinghua Academy cultivated Sicheng's wide range of hobbies and democratic and scientific spirit.
