You are the April of this world. Your laughter has lit up all the wind, so gently mingling with the spring. You are the clouds in early spring;the dusk wind blows up and down. And the stars blink now and then;fine rain drops down amid the flowers.” three beautiful lines, arent they?And Lin Huiyins trilogy love story is as beautiful as the verses.

“He just fell in love with the image he developed in his poetry, not the real me. But I was quite fascinated at that time.” Lin said comfortably when looking back on her puberty. And the dramatic story mentioned above happened during her study in St Marys College in London. As Lin was born in a wealth family, she received the best education a woman could obtain at that time. In college, she and Xu were soon touched by each others rich talent deeply. They met and worked together frequently. She became the inspiration of him and he acted as a guide for her to the literary world. Gradually the admiration subtly changed into passionate even sort of blind love. Fortunately, after disciplined by her father and her own reflection, she treated the love calmly and rationally. Though Tagore, her favorite poet, made a match, she finally didnt choose Xu. “The blue of the sky falls in love with the green of the lawn. The wheeze between them sighs mopishly.”sighed Tagore poetically.

“We were doomed to be a pair of couple considering our backgrounds, our parents relationship, our interests and characters. It was one of my wisest choices.” Lin summarized her marriage like that. Since Lins father and Liangs father were both ministers in the government and good friends, everyone took Lin and Liangs marriage for granted in the old Chinese days. Luckily, Liang and Lin took a shine to each other. One thing interesting was that Lin said to Liang she would marry him only if he went further education on architecture. As a result, China had one more famous architect. Even though their marriage jeopardized later, it turned out to be a happy one and were relished by ordinary Chinese.

“He would always be my older brother and there would always remain a place in my heart for him.” As Lin was saying, a relieved smile appeared on her still attractive face. Maybe in all her life, Jin was the one who loved Lin deeply into soul and never changed. Because of the true love, Jin persuaded her to give up her emotion for him and insist the marriage with Liang;because of the deep love, Jin reconciled to be a lifelong bachelor;because of the unforgettable love, Jin could remembered the birthday of Lin after she had died many years. No wonder once Lin cried to Liang to confess her love for Jin;no wonder Liang respected Jin even though they were rivals before;no wonder the couple and Jin finally became close friends and lived together for a long time.

Lin was gorgeous and popular not only because of her attractive appearance but also her literary complements, architect achievements and her life motto. She famous works include “you are the April of the world”;“I would be a fallen leaf” and so on. She was a noted Chinese architect in 20th century and she was said to be the first female architect in China. She even joined in designing national emblem. And she dealt with her love entanglements successfully. So perfect a woman, she decorated many peoples dreams. She is absolutely the brightest April in the world.endprint
