Li Huayong and his entourage of five people left the lecture hall and walked towards the guest house with a smile and a smile. On the way, Li Huayong told everyone the answer, Lao Qian was right in the classroom at the end, the person who was called "the person who changed the Gothic style gene" was Ms. Lin Huiyin.

And what Li Huayong just said about "the small railway station in Jilin Province of our country" is actually the design work of Ms. Lin Huiyin, and it is also one of the few design works of her and Mr. Liang Sicheng.

Because that small railway station is in a small city in Jilin Province, not many people know about it, and it is not very famous. In particular, Liang Lin and his wife are the characters who designed the national emblem of our country and the monument to the people's heroes, so compared to these works, the railway station is not conspicuous.

But how to say it? The railway station is actually a bit similar to the "Wenyuan Building" in Jitong University, which belongs to the kind of classic building that is not well-known in the outside world, but has a very influential and status in the industry.

And most of the influence and status of that building comes from its strong Gothic style, a unique, unique and refreshing Gothic style, which is highly respected by Western architects. Li Huayong knew that many years later, the railway station was already very dilapidated, and it had become our national ancient architectural culture protection unit, and there was an endless stream of Western architects who went to observe and learn.

"The building seems to have changed the genes of the Gothic style, giving new life to Gothic architecture......"

But when I looked closely, a voice in my heart told me: Yes, this is the Gothic style, this is the real Gothic architecture! I don't think it is the building that gives new life to the Gothic style, maybe, maybe the real Gothic architecture should be like this......

The above are the evaluations and quotations of some well-known Western architects on this railway station. From these evaluations and quotations, you should be able to imagine what kind of influence and status this building has in the industry.

Li Huayong himself has never seen the actual building, he has only seen the pictures of this building. Besides, Li Huayong's previous life focused on architectural structure, and he didn't really understand things like "architectural style". The main reason why he raised this issue today is that many people in later generations have made disrespectful remarks about Liang Lin and his wife, and many "public knowledge" like Dr. Kong Da have made nonsense everywhere, saying that Mr. Liang Sicheng has not many design works at all, so he cannot be called a master architect at all.

Li Huayong wants to use this example to punch the faces of the great doctors today. And Li Huayong knew in his heart that it was only appropriate to slap his face with such a rare example, because if you tell these people: the reason why Liang Lin and his wife have few works is because their main energy is not focused on this, they have devoted their lives to the arrangement, research, excavation and protection of ancient Chinese buildings, and they have also participated in the design of the national emblem and the monument to the people's heroes......

Those "public knowledge" will not be convinced when they say this kind of thing, and only by giving such an example, because these evaluations are from the mouths of people in the Western architectural circles, only in this way can those "public knowledge" who like to rely on foreign self-respect have nothing to say.

On the way back, Li Huayong explained the problem in a few words, and after he finished speaking, the others were nothing, but Lin Kai looked elated:

"Ahh ”

Li Huayong said curiously: "Of course, a master is a master, but Xiao Kai, what are you excited about, does what I just said has anything to do with you?"

"Why doesn't it matter? Don't forget what my surname is, it's not okay for me to be happy for our old Lin family. ”

Li Huayong is happy, dare to love because of this reason, although such a reason is not worth mentioning, but from Li Huayong's point of view, he is really difficult to refute, so Li Huayong had to echo:

"Yes, yes, your old Lin family is a master, haha, a net ......"

Lin Kai still looked interested: "Of course our Lin family is a master, but Brother Yong, how did Professor Qian call our Lin family's master "Mr" just now?"

"And what do you say you should call it?"

"This one, this ......"

Li Huayong smiled and said for him: "In your mind, this master of your Lin family should be a young woman of literature and art, it doesn't seem appropriate to call her "sir", right?"

Lin Kai didn't reply, but judging by his expression, he should have agreed with Li Huayong's statement, and Li Huayong looked at Lei Yutong and the other three girls, who seemed to have the same idea as Lin Kai.

Li Huayong sighed in his heart, in fact, it is not surprising that Professor Qian called Ms. Lin Huiyin "sir" just now, in the construction industry, especially in the academic circles within the industry, everyone calls her that. And Li Huayong believes that Ms. Lin Huiyin is fully worthy of this title.

Li Huayong suddenly turned his head and asked the three female college students without a head: "Hey, Tongtong, let me ask you a question, do you usually read magazines like "readers"?"

"Look, we'll all watch. The three girls answered one after another, and finally Zhao Shujun made a summary on behalf of the three;

"It's a good magazine, and most of our classmates love it. ”

Li Huayong he, Lei Yutong smiled strangely when he saw him: "What's wrong with Brother Yong?"

"It's nothing, I suggest you read less magazines like that. ”

"Huh?!Why?"

Li Huayong said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "What else? Of course, it's because after reading more such magazines, it will lower one's taste and grade." ”

Lei Yutong pursed his lips and smiled: "Nonsense." ”

"That's right, I think this kind of magazine is very good, by the way, I remember that in the first few issues, there was an article about Lin Huiyin on the "Reader", which was full of good things about her....."

Faced with a group of three girls attacking him, Li Huayong immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, I was wrong." ”

Of course, Li Huayong just now was purely motivated, he thought that Ms. Lin Huiyin was portrayed as a literary young woman in her later life, isn't this all the credit of magazines like "readers"?

This kind of petty bourgeois magazine is indeed in Quarin Huiyin, but it is a pity that in Li Huayong's view, most of them have not praised the idea, and they are all boasting according to the standard of "petty bourgeoisie", which is very inadequate, and very kitsch. Such a "science and engineering girl" who obviously has high artistic attainments is praised by them as:

"Lin Huiyin is a beauty, she wanders among many beautiful men, and she is still a April day in the world..."

It can be said that it is because of such a kitsch image that has been excessively consumed by the media, and after the domestic "petty bourgeoisie" trend has passed, many unknown people have also begun to hate Lin Huiyin. This respected "gentleman" in the construction industry actually won the title of "the first green tea of the Republic of China". Li Huayong felt that he was really wronged.

Of course, although Li Huayong felt that Ms. Lin Huiyin was wronged enough, he had no way to help her explain, let alone tell Lei Yutong and them, don't believe the articles in the current "petty bourgeoisie" magazines, the real Lin Huiyin is not like that, it is all made up according to their own taste and style.

Because "petty bourgeois taste" is the mainstream in this era, for things like trends, even if Li Huayong is a traverser, he doesn't think he has the ability to change the trend.

Since the topic just now could not be continued, Li Huayong had no choice but to change the topic, and what is the best way to change the topic? That is, of course, gossip, and only gossip can divert everyone's attention the fastest.

Li Huayong suddenly looked at Lin Kai and said: "By the way, when it comes to the masters of your old Lin family, I now think of another famous designer, and now that I think about it, your surname Lin seems to be really related to architecture." ”

"Who, who?" Lin Kai was elated again.

"Well, this person is none other than Ms. Lin Huiyin's niece, I forget whether it is her brother or her brother's daughter, tsk, two generations are both famous designers, it seems that your Lin family is really far away. ”

Lin Kai suddenly beamed proudly: "Of course." But he was proud and then asked:

"And what famous work did this person design?"

Li Huayong looked at him angrily and funny: "Her most famous work is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the United States. ”

Next, Li Huayong told the deeds of this person to several others. Nothing else, mostly related to this Vietnam Veterans memorial.

When the United States decided to build the monument, it called for design proposals through a design competition, and Ms. Lin's niece was a 21-year-old third-year architecture student at Yale University at the time. She also made a proposal to participate in the competition, and won the first place in a total of more than 1,400 proposals, becoming the final choice of the Americans.

However, the choice of this project was quite difficult, because her design concept was too new and unique, but also because of her Asian identity. Her design has caused widespread controversy. While the art and press praised her work, the Veterans Association was dissatisfied. Resisted by racists and some Vietnam veterans. They put political pressure on the jury to change the original design. However, after reorganizing the jury, her design still won first place in the second jury.

The American committee at the time reviewed her work carefully for the sake of prudence, and after reviewing it, it felt that it was still a good work, so it rejected the veteran's request and let the classic building, which was later ranked 7th in the American Institute of Architects' "Top 10 Most Popular Buildings of the 20th Century in the United States."

The most interesting thing about this is that many American Vietnam veterans who opposed this construction at the beginning, after the completion of this monument, quite a few people changed their views and said "this is the monument they want", which can be regarded as adding a little anecdote to that classic building.

Li Huayong told these stories, and the others listened to them with relish, and after Li Huayong finished speaking, Lin Kai said: "By the way, what is the name of this master of my old Lin family?"

"Well, I don't know the English name, the Chinese name seems to be Lin Ying. The forest is your forest, and the cherry blossom is the cherry blossom of the cherry blossom."

"Lin Ying?"

Seeing that Lin Kai's expression was a little strange, Li Huayong asked casually: "What's wrong?"

Lin Kai glanced at Lei Yutong first, and then said expectantly: "No, it won't be such a coincidence, right? My second sister is also called Lin Ying." ”

Second sister, this time it was Li Huayong's turn to be a little stunned. However, he quickly thought that Lin Kai's "second sister" should be Lin Yinghu's other daughter, which he had never met.

As for the same name, it is even more of a coincidence, the designer Lin Ying is now a middle-aged woman, and since Lin Kai is called the second sister, he should be younger than Lin Wei, and the age of the two Lin Ying is not matched.

Thinking about these Li Huayong gossips, he thought that Lin Wei and her sisters had nicknames, and he said to Lin Kai:

"By the way, your sisters like to use flowers to name them, so what kind of flower is your second sister? There is a cherry tree in her name, should it be called cherry blossom?"

"No, no, no, at first it was going to be called Sakura, but then my grandfather didn't agree. ”

"Oh?"

The reason why Lin Xiaotian disagrees is also easy to figure out, after all, cherry blossoms are the national flower of Little Japan, and it is very normal for the old man's generation to be reluctant to use this name.

"Then what's your second sister's nickname?"

"Of course, the flower is still a flower, it is osmanthus, but we usually call her cinnamon. ”

"Katsura.... Cinnamon incense?, hahahaha...."

Li Huayong finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and laughed so hard that Lin Kai had a black line on his face:

"What are you laughing at?"

Li Huayong patted Lin Kai on the shoulder affectionately;

"I'm not laughing, I'm laughing...."Speaking of this, Li Huayong cocked his thumb:

"Your old Lin family is really cultured in its name. ”

"Poof. This time it was Lei Yutong's turn next to him, and he finally couldn't help laughing.
