Features: Lin Huiyin (1904–1955), this brilliant architect and writer of the past century, was not fully 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 professionals in the study and teaching of modern Chinese literature often had little knowledge of her, leaving her out of the of literary historians. Soon after, due to the "Xu Zhimo craze," her name frequently appeared in the media. The TV drama A Dream of April in the Human World 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 woman portrayed in modern media! During her lifetime, she 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 later scholar, compiling a Collected Works of Lin Huiyin that strives to include all her writings, fragments, and words serves not only to honor the pioneer but also to correct errors and misconceptions, allowing the world to recognize through Collected Works of Lin Huiyin a remarkable woman of great personal charm and literary talent.
