Chapter 13 accompanied by love

Huiyin's love accompanies Sicheng, and she doesn't care that Sicheng may be disabled for life, but secretly rejoices: Sicheng and the god of death have passed by, and they can accompany and love each other day and night, how wonderful it is! When Sicheng was able to walk on the ground with crutches, a friend took a photo of him as a souvenir.He leaned on crutches and sat on a chair with a plaster cast on his legs, but his face was filled with a peaceful and satisfied smile. Sicheng's mother, Li Huixian, wife of Liang Qichao, frowned tightly at the sight of the two young people being affectionate.She was born in a family of officials, and her elder brother was the Minister of Rites during the Guangxu period.She is well versed in "women's morality", but she can't understand Lin Huiyin's "foreign school" speech and behavior.She thinks that Sicheng is lying on the bed with wounds and disheveled clothes. A lady should lower her eyebrows and carefully avoid him.How can a woman who has not yet paid the bride price be so disregarding of decency?

Liang Qichao didn't take Madam's dissatisfaction seriously.Sicheng and Huiyin have a very close relationship, and he sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.When he wrote a letter to his eldest daughter Sishun, he was full of pride: "My eyesight is good, Huiyin is my second success." The first success refers to Sishun's marriage.Liang Qichao chose Zhou Xizhe for Sishun.Zhou Xizhe was the consul general of the Chinese embassy in the Philippines at that time, and later the consul general of the embassy in Canada. Liang Qichao believes that "this is really an ideal marriage system" if he carefully observes and takes a good look at a person, and then introduces it to his children, and finally the children make their own decisions.

Liang Qichao worried that Sicheng would neglect his studies, so he arranged a study plan for Sicheng during the hospitalization period. "Father said Sicheng: I want you to read and recite "Mencius" in the courtyard for two months, so that you can give a brief summary of the words, especially the sentences that are beneficial to self-cultivation...It can benefit the mind and help the literary talent. There is more. It is good to read "Xunzi" every day. "Xunzi" is quite exegetical and difficult to understand, it is better to read "Xunzi Jijie" by Wang Xianqian."

The car accident delayed Sicheng's time to study in the United States, and his younger brother Siyong, Liang Shiqiu, Wu Wenzao and others who were in the same class as him had already left for the United States.During this year, under the guidance and supervision of his father, Sicheng systematically and carefully studied a batch of Chinese classics. He later recalled: "I am very grateful to my father for his supervision and training in Chinese studies exercises, which laid the foundation for my later study of architectural history." This year, Huiyin graduated from Peihua Girls' School and was qualified to study in the United States at a semi-official fee.She cut off her braids and wore a hairstyle that was popular among female college students at the time: her short, ear-length hair was slightly permed, and her bangs and hairline covered her forehead and nape fluffy.It seems that a bit of maturity has been added to the elegance and beauty.

In 1923, for the convenience of meeting, some upper-class intellectuals in Beijing were initiated by Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi. Xu Shenru and Huang Zimei paid for it and rented a courtyard at No. 7 Shihu Hutong, Xidan, Beijing, and established the "New Moon Club" and founded the New Moon Magazine. Some people say that the "Crescent Society" was named after the poetry collection of the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore.Xu Zhimo said: "Although the 'crescent moon' is not a powerful symbol, its slender bend clearly implies and embraces the fulfillment of the future." He loves the name "crescent moon" very much. In the middle and late 1920s, he, Hu Shi, Liang Shiqiu and others opened a bookstore and published publications in Shanghai.

Although Lin Huiyin never considered herself a member of the "Crescent School", she did enter the social circle of Beijing intellectuals and engage in cultural activities from the "New Moon" period.
