Features: Lin Huiyin (1904–1955), this brilliant architect and writer of the past century, was not recognized until the mid-1980s of the 20th century when her first literary work, Lin Huiyin's 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 perspective of literary historians. Soon after, due to the "Xu Zhimo fever," Lin Huiyin's name frequently appeared in the media. With the broadcast of the TV drama A Dream of April in the World, Lin Huiyin had almost become a household name. However, the historical figure Lin Huiyin is far removed from the media portrayal of a romantic and sentimental lady! During her lifetime, Lin Huiyin disliked being referred to as "Mrs. Liang." Yet now, she is known to posterity through another man who was not a doctor. How helpless must she feel 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 great figure and a correction of errors and misconceptions. Through the Collected Works of Lin Huiyin, the world can come to know an outstanding woman of extraordinary personal charm and literary talent.
