Lin Huiyin's name can always cause an uproar, Bingxin, Lu Xun, Qian Zhongshu and others have scolded her in articles. Among them, Bingxin wrote a famous article "Mrs. Living Room" in September 1933, which violently satirized Lin Huiyin.
Although Jin Yuelin was stung fiercely, he also had to admire Bingxin's writing skills and influence. Years later, when he recalled the article, he couldn't help but admit with some shame: "Bingxin's text does portray the social situation of the wealthy in the English countryside. ”
And Bingxin's status in the literary world is even more prominent, and some people commented that she once surpassed Lu Xun in the limelight. Her "Mrs. Living Room" caused great harm to Lin Huiyin, and also made Bingxin proud for a period of time.
Bingxin, who was 92 years old, recalled that "Mrs.'s Living Room" was written by Lin Huiyin, but Lu Xiaoman. This news is surprising, after all, the article was believed to have been written by Lin Huiyin from 1933 to 1992.
So, what exactly is written in "The Wife's Living Room"? In the early thirties of the last century, Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and Jin Yuelin lived together in a courtyard house at No. 3 Beizongbu Hutong in Beijing's Beicheng District.
This courtyard is a two-entry structure, the front yard is a large courtyard, the back yard is a small courtyard, and there is a side door in the middle. Jin Yuelin loves food, often invites professors from Tsinghua University and Peking University to his home, and the family also hires a chef who can make pastries and is good at cooking Hunan cuisine.
The living room of Jin Yuelin's house soon became a "club" for professors from Tsinghua University and Peking University. With the addition of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, this "club" was soon upgraded to a small cultural salon in Beijing's cultural circles.
The reason is that Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin's social coverage is much wider than that of Jin Yuelin.
The joining of the couple has attracted a variety of well-known figures in the academic community. The regular visitors of this salon include Zhang Xiruo and Yang Jingren, Tao Meng and Shen Xingren, Fairbank and Wilma, Deng Yiyu, Qian Duansheng, Chen Daisun, Zhou Peiyuan, Hu Shi, Zhu Guangqian and other academic giants and celebrities, as well as emerging talents such as Shen Congwen, Li Jianwu and Xiao Qian.
The rookies are all proud to be present on such occasions. Because Lin Hui is beautiful, talented, enthusiastic, and eloquent, he naturally became the "host" of the salon.
Therefore, the outside world unanimously believes that this is Lin Huiyin's salon, and this aggregate living room is also known as "Lin Huiyin's living room" and is known as "Mrs.'s living room". Bingxin's article "Mrs. Living-room" criticized Lin Huiyin, the firepower was unbelievable, Jin Yuelin tried to defend Lin Huiyin, and preemptively stated: "Mrs.'s living room" is actually "Jin Yuelin's living room", and the person Bingxin wants to criticize is Jin Yuelin, not Lin Huiyin.
"Obviously, the target of criticism is me," he said. But the critics did not grasp the specifics, and thought that Saturday's social activities must be as feminine-centered as the church people ......*Do you know that the owner of my living room is a single man? ”
The Wife's Living Room was published in ** form in the "Ta Kung Pao Literary Supplement" edited by Yang Zhensheng and Shen Congwen, from the second to the tenth issues on September 27, 1933.
Lao Qin in "Why did Lin Hui touch the anger of the public? was successively scolded by Bingxin, Lu Xun, Qian Zhongshu and others", revealing a poem written by Bingxin in 1931 entitled "I Advise You", which was published in "Beidou" edited by Ding Ling.
She made it clear that the object of persuasion was Lin Huiyin, and the poet mentioned was Xu Zhimo. In the article "Mrs. Living-room", Bingxin followed the stereotype of Lin Huiyin, saying: "Although our wife herself is a woman, she doesn't like women. ”
In addition, her description of the "wife" in the article is also written against Lin Huiyin, and the writing is complete. The characters in the text can also match the real people.
For example, the 5-year-old girl Binbin corresponds to Lin Huiyin's 5-year-old daughter Liang Zaibing.
Tao Menghe is a giant in the social sciences, and Mr. Tao is known as a leader in this field. Xu Zhimo is a famous poet, and the character in the text who "has smooth hair on both sides equally" is his incarnation.
Hu Shi is a brilliant professor, and the scholar in the article, who is "in his 40s and has two short beards", resembles him. Jin Yuelin is a high-minded philosopher, and the characteristics of the character in the text are also consistent with him.
Qian Duansheng is a burly political scientist, and the professor mentioned in the article is him. Bingxin sharply criticized these people in the article "Mrs. Living Room", believing that they were nihilistic, ambiguous, and decadent businesswomen who did not know the hatred of the country.
However, Lin Huiyin may not mind this. But Bingxin also used the word "old aunt" with ulterior motives to ridicule Lin Huiyin for being a concubine, and ridiculed Lin Huiyin for the internal dispute between his parents' family and Lin Changmin's death in the melee of the Northeast Feng warlords, which made Lin Huiyin unacceptable.
Li Jianwu, who was one of the guests at the "Madame's Living Room", later wrote: "Bingxin wrote an article "Madame's Living Room" satirizing her ......She happened to return to Beiping from the Shanxi Investigation Temple, and she brought a jar of old and fragrant Shanxi vinegar, and immediately asked someone to give it to Bingxin to eat. They are friends and enemies at the same time. Xiao Qian, another guest in the "wife's living room", and his wife Wen Moruo had a very good relationship with Bingxin, and they both called Bingxin "eldest sister".
Wen Moruo recalled: "Once the eldest sister showed me a collection of Bingxin's short stories "Winter Girl" published by Beixin Book Company, saying that the heroine and poet of "Our Wife's Living Room" in the book were written based on Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo. ”
Obviously, everyone in the circle knows that Bingxin wrote "Mrs. Living Room" to target Lin Huiyin. However, when the literary world found out that Wang Guofan sued Gu Jianzi, the author of "The Kingdom of the Poor Stick", for infringing on the right to reputation, Zhang Shuying and Shu Yi of the Chinese Writers Association visited Bingxin, the nearly 92-year-old "old man of the century" and "grandmother of the literary world", and asked her opinion on the matter.
Bingxin talked a lot that day, and finally said casually: "It's boring to entangle the people in the article with reality, when I used to write articles, I never used my real name, and they couldn't sue me." ”
In order to prove that what she said was true, she added: "In the article "Mrs. Living Room", Xiao Qian thought it was written by Lin Huiyin, but in fact it was not, I wrote it was Lu Xiaoman. ”
It turned out that after Zhang Shuying and Shu Yi spread Bingxin's statement, everyone was greatly surprised. This is because Lin Huiyin has made great contributions to society in the second half of his life and has won a high reputation.
If you put yourself on the opposite side of Lin Huiyin, it is definitely not a wise move. In the second half of his life, Lu Xiaoman lived a lonely and helpless life, harmless to humans and animals, and became the best candidate for "backing".
Although Bingxin has stated that "Mrs. Living Room" is written by Lu Xiaoman instead of Lin Huiyin, in 1997, because Bingxin served as the honorary editor-in-chief of the "**Female Writer**Classics" series, Lin Huiyin's son Mr. Liang Congjie resolutely refused to grant copyright to Lin Huiyin's works in the book.
After the death of the old man Bingxin in February 1999, Lin Huiyin's ** episode appeared in the second series of "**Female Writers** Classics".
