Features: Lin Weiyin (1904–1955), this brilliant architect and writer who shone brilliantly in the past century, was not recognized until the mid-1980s of the 20th century when her first literary work, "Lin Weiyin Poetry Collection," was published. 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 Weiyin's name frequently appeared in the media. The TV drama "The Days of April" was broadcast, and Lin Weiyin had almost become a household name. However, the historical figure Lin Weiyin is far removed from the image of a lady indulging in romance that the media promotes today! Lin Weiyin disliked being called "Mrs. Liang" during her lifetime, 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 Weiyin has already been held. As a successor, compiling a "Collected Works of Lin Weiyin" that strives to include all her writings, fragments, and words, serves not only to honor the great figure but also to correct errors and misconceptions, allowing the world to recognize through the "Collected Works of Lin Weiyin" an outstanding woman of great personal charm and literary talent.
