The three Lin brothers are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Huanggang County on the north coast is a large county in eastern Hubei. The county seat, Huangzhou, is an ancient city with a long history. It is the seat of the state capital of past dynasties and is also the political, economic and cultural center of eastern Hubei.

Although the economy of this place is not very prosperous, it is a magical land.

The cultural seeds sown here by Su Dongpo, the great literary master of the Northern Song Dynasty, influenced and educated the intellectuals of all generations in Huanggang after the Song Dynasty, making it a popular place for learning, abundant talents, and outstanding figures.

The deeds of peasant uprising heroes such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and the thrilling decisive battles waged by the Taiping Rebellion army against the ruling class in eastern Hubei also inspired and educated generations of young people who were determined to serve the country and save the people. ,student.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the Lin family at the foot of Baiyang Mountain, 25 kilometers away from Huangzhou City, and the Lin family in Ranpu have three brothers who have had an important influence in the modern and modern history of China—— Lin Yuying, Lin Yunan, Lin Biao (also known as Lin Yurong).

In order to let readers know more about the three Lin brothers, the author first introduces their birthplace and family.

Baiyang Mountain is located in the central part of Huanggang County, with an altitude of 300 meters.

In the south of Baiyang Mountain, there are two villages: Linjiada and Dye Shop. There is a green field between the two, only 200 meters apart.

According to some elders of the Lin family, these two children did not exist at the foot of Baiyang Mountain at first. The Lin family originally lived in Linjiashan Village, Jiamiao Township, in the northeastern mountainous area of ​​Huanggang County. In the early Qing Dynasty, due to too few fields and frequent droughts and no harvests, the third and fourth families of the Lin family found it difficult to survive, so they decided to move out and settle at the foot of Baiyang Mountain in Huilong Mountain.

Only a few families were moved the first time, and then several more were moved and named the Lin family.

Lin Yuying, Lin Yunan, and Lin Biao are the eighth generation of the Lin family in Baiyangshan.

After the Lin family moved to the Lin family, the population developed rapidly. In less than a hundred years, there were more than 400 people in total, and the name was changed to Lin Jia Da. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Lin family could no longer live in it, so part of the three-bedroom family moved to an open space opposite to start a family. These families opened a large dyeing shop on the side of the road, so it was called the dyeing shop.

In this way, the Lin family lives in two separate houses.

Even though they are separated, they are still united. Gifts are given during festivals, weddings and funerals, and they also help each other during busy farming seasons.

Dyepu has 90 acres of rice fields, while the Lin family has only 56 acres of rice fields. The two together only amount to more than 140 acres. At that time, each mu of rice field could only produce more than 200 kilograms of grain. In disaster years, there was often no harvest. Therefore, it is difficult to feed more than 400 people on more than 140 acres of rice fields.

Fortunately, the Lin family has a tradition of spinning and weaving, and their skills are well-known in the local area.

In addition to farming, they set up a family weaving factory and opened a large-scale cloth shop in Wuhan, specializing in cotton cloth produced by the Lin family. Then, use the money from selling cloth to buy food.

At that time, there was a song circulating in the Lin family and the dye shop:

Thousands of threads,

organized with one hand;

Tricks Renovate,

Other people’s clothes.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the Lin family's life encountered difficulties again. The reason was the large influx of foreign capital, which impacted the domestic market. With their abundant funds and advanced textile technology, some Western countries have opened a large number of yarn mills and weaving factories in Shanghai, Wuhan, Jiujiang and other places. Their textiles have occupied the market in large and medium-sized cities in China. The cotton cloth produced by the Lin family is difficult to sell in large and medium-sized cities, and can only be sold at reduced prices to nearby small towns. As a result, income is much lower than in the past.

The Lin family's weaving industry was struggling under the squeeze of the emperor, officials and feudal officials.

Of course, making a living by weaving also made the Lin family travel around frequently, increasing their knowledge and broadening their horizons.

Especially after they established a distribution branch in Wuhan, the Lin family knew a lot of information and national events in other places.

In the Lin family, Lin Shilang and his brother are the most capable. Lin Shilang lived in the Lin family, and his brother lived in the dye shop.

When Lin Shilang and his brother were alive, they made great contributions to the weaving and dyeing industry of the Lin family's Dahe Dyeing Shop. Both of them are experts in running cloth factories and are good at doing business, so they have high prestige in both countries.

The descendants of Lin Shilang's brother are now divided into two parts, one part is in Beijing and other places, and the other part is still in the local area.

Lin Shilang raised many children. His eldest son was named Lin Wenqing. He was very capable and devoted his life to weaving. He once ran "Lin Jingyi" and "Lin Zhenxing" cloth factories, employing 200 people at one time. Because he was the eldest and eloquent, he served as the head of household named Lin for a long time. He died of illness in 1930. The second son, Lin Junqing, has been running a cloth factory for a long time and is also smart and capable. He mainly sells the cotton cloth produced by the Lin family in Wuhan. He had a difficult life, suffering from illness all year round and losing his wife in his youth. He died of illness in his hometown in 1928. The third son, Lin Xiefu, left home when he was young and followed his second brother Lin Junqing to Hankou to run a cloth business and became very famous. He was a master of business in the 1920s and 1930s. He died in Hankou in 1937. The fourth son, Lin Mingqing, was born on November 16, 1887. He studied in his hometown when he was a child, and learned weaving from Lin Shilang as an adult. He then went out to make a living for many years, working as a clerk and accountant. After he was 30 years old, he returned to his hometown to set up a cloth factory. . Among Lin Shilang's four sons, he was the most educated. He died of illness in Beijing in January 1962.

The three Lin brothers described in this book are the descendants of this Lin family. Lin Yuying is Lin Shilang's grandnephew, and Lin Yunan and Lin Biao (Lin Yurong) are both Lin Shilang's grandsons. The Lin family's Dahe Dye Shop is also famous at home and abroad because of the three Lin brothers.

Lin Yuying, one of the three Lin brothers, has a legendary life. He embarked on the revolutionary road under the guidance of his cousin Lin Yunan. For the revolutionary cause, he did many jobs, running schools, working as a worker, running factories, and leading the labor movement. He became the main leader of the Hunan and Manchuria Provincial Committees of the Communist Party of China very early. In the long-term revolutionary struggle, he went through many difficulties and dangers. He used to be a monk as a cover, and was also arrested and imprisoned and tortured. Lin Yuying went to the Soviet Union to participate in the International Conference of Communists. After returning to the country with heavy responsibilities, she made immortal contributions in the struggle against Zhang Guotao and the anti-Japanese and national salvation struggle. If he had not died early due to injuries, he would have had more legends and would have made greater contributions to China's revolution and construction.

The only time Mao Zedong carried someone's coffin in his life was to carry Lin Yuying's coffin, which shows his great contribution and influence.
