Descendants of immigrants from China

"Qian Xun Waterfall, a poetic life, is an April day on earth." Lin elegiac couplet.

Many people may be puzzled when the name Lin Ying is mentioned, but if her aunt is mentioned, most people will definitely know her. Her aunt is Lin, a famous talented woman in the Republic of China.

Lin's talent lies not only in literature but also in architecture. It was she and Liang Sicheng who designed the school building of National Southwest Associated University. Later, the dormitory for teachers in Tsinghua was also designed by Lin, and even the national emblem and the Monument to the People's Heroes were attended by her. Oh, by the way, the main building of Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery was also designed by Lin. In addition to architectural design, protecting ancient buildings is Lin's lifelong goal.

Lin Ying's talent in architecture is no less than that of her aunt Lin, and the reason why she embarked on the road of architecture is largely influenced by Lin.

Lin knew Xu Zhimo from the beginning because she went to study in Europe with her father when she was 16 years old. Lin Changmin is the Chief Justice of the Cabinet and graduated from Waseda University. At that time, his thoughts belonged to the more progressive school. This Lin Changmin is Lin Ying's grandfather.

After Ye's death, He Xue, who married Lin's mother, was the second wife, but she didn't like He Xueyuan, and even the young Lin was left out in the cold. What he really likes is my concubine Cheng Guilin, who gave birth to four sons to Lin Changmin, among whom Lin Huan, the eldest son, is Lin Ying's father.

Lin Huan went to America early because of the war, so Lin Ying was born in Ohio 1959. Influenced by Lin, Lin Ying showed his talent and inclination in design since he was a child, and his achievements have been very good. He studied at Yale University, a world-renowned university.

What do we do in college? Learn professional knowledge? Recite English words and sprint CET-4 and CET-6? Looking for various internship units? Universities in Lin Ying have started to design independently. She designed the Vietnam War Memorial before she graduated from college. She was only 265,438+0 years old that year, but she has already shocked the world with her works. 1986 After she graduated from Yale, it took her only one year to get a doctorate in fine arts from Yale University.

Lin Ying's design does not focus on house design, but tends to various works of art that can embody certain connotations. She is willing to use her design works to commemorate some rebellious events, or to include some concepts of time and space, such as designing a civil rights monument in Montgomery, the birthplace of Martin Luther King's civil rights movement in Alabama, the "women's table" at Yale University and the "eroded time" at new york Railway Station.

Lin Ying is not only an architect, but also an artist and a famous environmentalist. 20 10 Lin Ying was awarded the National Medal of Art by then US President Barack Obama, which is the highest honor awarded by the US government to artists and art patrons. She is also the only Chinese in this award.

Six years later, on 20 16, Lin ying was personally decorated by Obama again. This time, she won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian medal in the United States, and won the prize together with a heavyweight like Bill Gates, which shows the importance of this award, and Lin Ying is also the only China winner in 2/kloc-0.

When Lin Ying was elected president of Yale University, he said, "My parents immigrated to this country with nothing, but as educators, they know the importance of education. I know that if my father were still alive, he would be as proud of me as my mother.

Lin Ying embarked on the road of architectural design because she is Lin's niece, but now she has stepped out of her own style and elegant demeanor. She was once rated as "the most important 100 American in the 20th century" and "the 50 future American leaders". Besides the name of my niece Lin, her own name is also worth remembering.
