She has also been labeled by many labels throughout her life - an extremely smart young lady, a talented writer, an artist with extraordinary temperament, an outstanding architect, an indomitable patriot, the heroine of the "wife's living room", an ideal soul mate, a wife in need in reality, a confidant in life...
But she was always the unique Lin Huiyin. She walked through half a century of her life with poetic and firm steps, and walked out of a beautiful scenery; she fulfilled her husband, fulfilled her motherland with love and persistence, and created an era that belonged to her.
