Features: Lin Huiyin (1904–1955), this brilliant architect and writer who shone in the past century, was not recognized until the mid-1980s of the 20th century when her first literary work, Lin Huiyin Poetry Collection, was published posthumously. At that time, few readers knew her name, and even specialists in the study and teaching of modern Chinese literature often knew little about her and had not included her in the literary history. Soon, due to the "Xu Zhimo fever," her name frequently appeared in the media. The TV drama A Spring in April 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 sentimental woman as portrayed in modern media! During her lifetime, Lin Huiyin disliked being called "Mrs. Liang." Yet now, she is known to posterity through another man who was not a doctor. How could she not feel helpless in the afterlife! A centennial commemoration of Lin Huiyin has already been held. As a successor, compiling a Collected Works of Lin Huiyin that strives to encompass all her writings, fragments, and words is both an act of honoring the pioneer and correcting misconceptions. Through the Collected Works of Lin Huiyin, the world can come to know an outstanding woman of great personal charm and literary talent.
