Chapter 328 Gathering of Celebrities(2/2)

Han Suyin nodded, "He was very smart back then."

With a familiar figure in common, Han Suyin's conversational nature was drawn out by Lin Chaoyang, and he asked him several questions one after another.

Ye Junjian on the side reminded her: "Chaoyang has some connection with us."

"What origin?"

"His father-in-law is Tao Jingfa."

"Tao Jingfa?"

Han Suyin recalled for a moment, frowned, and thought hard, "Tao Jingfa seems to be a history major, right?"

"Yes, he is a few years younger than us."

Han Suyin laughed and said, "It turns out he is the son-in-law of an old classmate. I really didn't expect to meet him here."

She asked Lin Chaoyang again, "I think you are not very old..."

After graduating from Yan University in the 1930s, Han Suyin first went to Belgium to study and gradually became interested in literature. After the July 7th Incident, she returned to China and married Tang Baohuang, an officer of the Kuomintang Party. In 1941, she began to publish novels.

Later, Tang Baohuang went to Britain to work as a diplomat. She went to Britain with her husband. In 1945, the civil war broke out. Tang Baohuang returned to China to join the war, but she stayed in the UK to study for a doctorate in medicine.

After Tang Baohuang died in the war in 1948, she returned to Hong Kong to practice medicine, met journalist Elio Mark, and wrote this emotional experience into the work "Treasure". After being published in the United States, this novel caused a lot of repercussions.

The success also established Han Suyin's position in the European and American literary circles.

Later, the novel was adapted into the movie "Life and Death" by Hollywood, which won three awards at the 1956 Academy Awards.

After that, she had two more marriages. Her current husband is Indian Lu Wenxing. In the past few years, she has done a lot of work to repair Sino-Indian relations.

She now lives in India all year round and is technically an international friend, so she has never heard of Lin Chaoyang's name and doesn't know much about his deeds.
