It's like seeing each other and starting 18 years of acquaintance
In 2003, Lin Qingxia and Jin Shenghua met for the first time at home.
Jin Shenghua described it this way: "I saw her wearing a creamy white home clothes, no makeup powder, and greeted her with a smile on her face. Everything was natural, as if she had known each other for a long time - just like this, two people who are in opposite directions, I actually made friends."
Lin Qingxia recalled: "The first time I saw her, she was dressed in a wine red suit and walked into the hall of my house lightly. She was the first friend I made with knowledge, a doctorate and a university professor. I always thought this was the case before. People are more old-fashioned, and I didn't expect her to have a special pursuit of beauty. It is most appropriate to use good teachers and friends on her."
The two hit it off at first sight and were impressed by each other.
In Lin Qingxia's opinion, the title of "Talking Heart" is very relevant, "Sheng Hua and I have both witnessed the ups and downs in each other's life. If she does not record it, the days will pass, and there will be no trace. In fact, I have forgotten many things. It's hard for her to remember it so clearly. A great doctor took so much effort to record my life and enriched my life. In fact, I should really be thankful."
"Record the 18 years that we have known each other. A casual word, a small gesture, and the experience of visiting the masters together in the days when we were together, through her wonderful writing, immediately strung together inspiring and moving stories. In In addition to the friendship between the two of us, her article also provides a glimpse into the style and knowledge of each master, as well as some stories related to the story, allowing readers to see Lin Qingxia's unknown true face, but also increase their knowledge.

Both teachers and friends show the real Brigitte Lin
Because she misses Huang Zhan, Brigitte Lin published her debut novel "A Smile from the Sea", and has since started her writing career.
As Lin Qingxia's close friend and her guide to the literary world, Jin Shenghua witnessed how she turned from a star to a writer.
Writer Bai Xianyong wrote in the preface for "Talking Heart": "In the past ten years, Brigitte Lin has turned to writing, and every time she finishes writing an article, it will be passed on to Jin Shenghua. After the teacher's comments and a few words of praise, she could fall asleep at ease. She once said that her three collections, "Inside the Window and Outside the Window", "Clouds Going to Clouds", and "Before the Mirror and Behind the Mirror" were all completed under the encouragement of Jin Shenghua. Yes. Brigitte Lin used the word 'intangible' well. Jin Shenghua spoke softly and was gentle and considerate, but he was meticulous in his actions and took it seriously. That 'invisible whip' had its own aggressive softness. strength."
Brigitte Lin once recalled that Jin Shenghua was her first scholar friend. They met for tea and chat together, and talked about their reading and writing experience and life insights.
Under the introduction of Jin Shenghua, Brigitte Lin made many friends in the cultural circles. She asked Yu Guangzhong, Lin Wenyue, Ni Kuang, Zhang Dachun and others humbly for tips on writing. They went to Beijing to visit Ji Xianlin and asked Master Ji about the style of writing. Lin Qingxia wrote from this. With the article "The Perfect Hand", my writing career has since gone further.
Eighteen years of life, and the experience of visiting masters together, are brought together into vivid and interesting stories under the writings of Jin Shenghua, which are assembled into "Talking Hearts".
In a sense, this book is the culmination of a collaboration between the two.
Jin Shenghua revealed that the title of the book was conceived and decided by the two of them together. After each article was written, Brigitte Lin was the first reader and gave feedback in a timely manner. Each photo was discussed and decided by the two of them.
Brigitte Lin said frankly, "I can't see myself, because there is no distance, and I can't see Brigitte even more if I'm too far. Jin Shenghua has been side by side with me and face to face for 18 years. With the most tender eyes and warm heart, she writes the most truthful words. Brigitte Lin." (End)
