Chapter 7 Across the ocean

It has always been believed that the most beautiful woman should have a kind of tranquility and elegance left behind in the world.No matter the time of day, no matter the mood, she can calm you down and give you peace of mind.Such a woman should have a stable residence, guarding a tree like pear blossoms, guarding a pool of plain lotus, slowly watching the time age inadvertently.But it was not until later that I realized that every woman has to go through a passionate process to reveal her extraordinary beauty and shocking feelings.Her tranquility is not a prison, but walking alone in Zimo Hongchen, listening to fate.

So before, whenever we saw Lin Huiyin's quiet and pure appearance, and her beautiful and clean poems, we would think that her life should be so quiet and beautiful that there are no words.She should be a girl who dreams of twenty-seven, in the water town of Jiangnan, in a warm hut, building a dream.But many years ago, she bid farewell to Jiangnan gracefully, and since then accepted the fate of migration.This kind of migration is not displacement, it is conforming to the times, and it is self-exile.This is the age of chasing dreams, how can I be too quiet, wasting time in vain. The so-called poetry and wine take advantage of their youth, and only when they are at the height of their youth dare to squander their time and seek pleasure when drunk.Ten years later, when we look back, we only feel that the world of mortals is like a dream, and we are just indulging in the spring and autumn in the dream.Tired of the colorful world, I only love the joys of the years, and I only hope to have a proper home and arrange a carefree self.Before that, no matter how well you know the world affairs and read a lot of books, you still can't be calm and calm.You must taste all kinds of things in the world to know its true taste; you must personally do the long dusty road to know its length and distance.

In the spring of 1920, Lin Changmin went to England to give lectures, and 16-year-old Lin Huiyin followed his father to study in London.This trip allowed Lin Huiyin to embark on a new life journey, and it also meant that she was about to bid farewell to her youthful girlhood.This time across the ocean, what she can see is a new world, new characters, new knowledge, and a new living environment.For a woman who has just grown up, these new things should bring her freshness and magical beauty. Some people say that if Lin Huiyin had not followed her father Lin Changmin across the ocean, or even been born in a family of officials and poets, but had lived an ordinary life in a common people's family, she could have grasped it very well with her intelligence. it is good.Any place, any time, any situation, she will not let herself live in embarrassment.The Lin Huiyin in the hearts of the world, or the real Lin Huiyin, is that lotus whose roots are planted in the mud, but are always so innocent and pure.

How difficult it is for a woman to win a lifetime of innocence in the hearts of everyone.If you can't jump out of the world of mortals, you can only make friends with it. In front of the turbid waves of the world, even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, it won't help.Lin Huiyin understood this truth since she was a child, but she didn't say anything, but silently compromised with everything in the world, so that we will never see her tiredness or injury.Sometimes, I even feel that her intelligence and indifference are innate, and she has a deeper Taoism than ordinary people without a long period of practice.But she is clearly still a child, and those clear eyes tell us that she has not experienced many things in the world, and she is so careless.

If you like a word, you will be on the same boat.Everyone will look forward to having someone who can sail with him in his life.All the fates in this life are obtained from previous life cultivation. After ten years of cultivation, we can cross the same boat, and we can sleep together after one hundred years of cultivation.Therefore, we should believe that all the people we know in this life have formed profound karma in previous lives.All the passers-by who rub shoulders with you and me may have been neighbors, tea friends, or even bosom friends or relatives in the previous life.And all our encounters in this life will make arrangements for our fate in the next life.Sixteen-year-old, sentimental Lin Huiyin, would he also have such thoughts?

I hope that I can share the boat with a romantic and poetic man and form a beautiful relationship. Since Huiyin left China with his father, he traveled with him to Paris, Geneva, Rome, Frankfurt, Berlin and other places.Having seen the romantic style of Paris, France, been to the historically prominent ancient Roman Empire, and experienced the art and magnificence of European castle architecture, Huiyin truly felt the magnanimity of the world, and she was fascinated by the unspeakable beauty of exotic customs. Completely conquered.I thought that the bustling and prosperous world is nothing more than this. Mountains are just mountains, water is just water, and people are just people.But after Lin Huiyin had seen the different styles and customs of different countries and visited buildings with different styles, she could no longer stop her pursuit of the construction industry.

When visiting various countries, what Lin Huiyin experienced the most is the power of architecture to shake the soul.I have always been amazed at how amazing the Creator is, who can dress up the natural landscape so holy and beautiful.On weekdays, we are always too obsessed with cumbersome fame and fortune, and ignore that there are too many beautiful things in life besides floating fame that are worthy of nostalgia.For example, the beautiful scenery in the world, the eternal green mountains, and the endless rivers.This kind of cleanliness and this kind of great beauty has become the highest belief in everyone's heart, and it is placed in the most sacred corner, and it is not easy to talk to others.

Later, Lin Huiyin married Liang Sicheng, and the two studied architecture together, and they walked through the ups and downs of life together.People who have read her "You Are the April Day of the World" may think that Lin Huiyin should be a poetic and weak woman.In her life, love should be higher than career. However, she is actually a lofty woman. She is obsessed with her career and feels that the achievements of her career are far more open-minded than the emotions of her children.So she dedicated her whole life to her career, even though she was suffering from illness in the end, she never gave up in the slightest.In the face of feelings, she was more sober.

In September 1920, Lin Huiyin was admitted to St. Mary's College (St. Mary's College) study.In the UK, Lin Huiyin also often joined her father's various entertainments. She received many cultural celebrities as the hostess, which laid a solid foundation for her later writing.She is not an ordinary Xiaojiabiyu who reads a few books in the house and then starts working behind closed doors.She has experienced famous mountains and great rivers and met many famous historians and scholars, so her start in the literary world is higher than that of other female writers. More often, Lin Huiyin likes to stay alone in her apartment, make a cup of coffee, snuggle by the fireplace, and read her favorite books.She reads poems, novels and plays of many famous writers one by one.London, the beautiful city of fog, always has lingering misty rain.And this lonely poetic girl always watches the rain and fog outside the window alone, building endless dreams one after another.

She expects that in this foreign country, there will be a passionate man who will walk into her life and share ten or thirty curtains of dreams with her. Misty Rain is always too sultry, when she is lonely, she always hopes that there will be romance in her life.Lin Huiyin hopes to drink coffee with the person she likes around the fireplace, smell the fragrance of toast, and express her feelings to each other as if in a fairy tale, as the years flow slowly in the rhythm of rotation.Although that person has not appeared yet, the clever Lin Huiyin had a premonition in her heart that there must be a story belonging to her in this beautiful city.

I am a nostalgic woman, I always think she is the same.It was only later that I believed that there are people with the same feelings in this world, but they will never have the same story and the same life.It is willing for me to stay indifferent to the fleeting years and ignore the prosperity; if fate arranges for me to be in the end of the world, there is no way to avoid it.Perhaps Lin Huiyin's mood is the same, he never stubbornly thought about what he wanted, nor did he deliberately refuse anything.Everyone is destined to set sail from the moment they have life.Once submerged in the vast river and sea, how can there be room for turning around? Traveling across the ocean was a fashion at that time.Lin Huiyin, a lady from all over the world, naturally follows the trend, because no stubbornness can change her original intention.When Hui Yin boarded a long-distance ship and looked at the vast and boundless sea, she deeply understood for the first time that she was just a tiny wave. She is a simple woman, she never thought about endless troubles, she just wanted to dream in her own space and live romantically and freely.
