Features: Lin Huiyin (1904–1955), this architect and writer who shone brilliantly several times in the past century, was not published until the mid-1980s after her death. At that time, few readers knew her name, and even professionals in the study and teaching of modern Chinese literature often knew little about her and had not included her in the perspective of literary historians. Soon, due to the "Xu Zhimo fever," Lin Huiyin's name frequently appeared in the media. The television drama "April in My Heart" was broadcast, and Lin Huiyin had almost become a household name. However, the historical figure Lin Huiyin is far removed from the image of a romantic and passionate lady as portrayed in modern media! Lin Huiyin disliked being called Mrs. Liang when she was alive. Yet now, she is known to later generations through another man who was not a doctor. How helpless must she feel in the afterlife! A centennial commemoration for Lin Huiyin has already been held. As a successor, compiling a collection titled "Collected Works of Lin Huiyin" that strives to encompass all her writings, fragments, and words, serves both to honor the pioneer and to correct errors and misconceptions, allowing the world to recognize through "Collected Works of Lin Huiyin" an outstanding woman of great personal charm and literary talent.
