Lin Zexu's original wife was Zheng Shuqing. She married a poor scholar Lin Zexu at the age of 16 until Zheng Shuqing died at the age of 60. They have been married for 44 years and have always respected each other. They have had eight children, including four sons and four daughters.

They are the eldest son Lin Ruzhou, the second son Lin Qiubai, the third son Lin, the fourth son Lin Gongshu, the eldest daughter Lin, the second daughter Lin Jinluan, the third daughter and the fourth daughter Zheng Lin.

Lin Zexu

Among Lin Zexu's children, the second son Lin Qiubai and the second daughter Lin Jinluan died young, and there are not many records left in history. So there are always people who think that Lin Zexu has three sons and three daughters, which is also reasonable. I won't elaborate on these two flying fish here. Let's talk about the others in detail.

Lin ruzhou.

Lin Ruzhou was born in 18 14. At this time, Lin Zexu is nearly 30 years old. Unlike Lin Zexu, Lin Ruzhou was not interested in politics. He served as an academician for life, that is, an official in imperial academy who edited ancient books.

After Lin Zexu's death, Lin Ruzhou was promoted to assistant lecturer, that is, the lecturer of the emperor. His life can be said to be mediocre, and Lin Ruzhou has only one son, Lin, Lin Fuzhen, and Lin Fuzhen has another son named Lin Baichuan, and Lin Baichuan's eldest son is Lin.

Speaking of this Lin, it can be said that he is the most famous in Lin Ruzhou. He used to be the principal of Nanjing Jinling Petrochemical Workers' Children School. He devoted his whole life to the anti-drug propaganda work. It can be said that he always used his ancestor Lin Zexu to warn himself.

Lin held more than 300 anti-drug lectures for primary and secondary school students, and the number of people educated by Lin reached 30 thousand. In 2006, he was awarded? Good citizen of Nanjing? .

Lin.

Among the sons of Lin Zexu, Lin is the most talented one. He had the ambition to know the world in his early years. Lin Zexu was detained in Yili, and Lin and Lin Gongshu stayed with Lin Zexu all the time and wrote a diary of going west. Later, Lin Zexu died, and Lin and Lin Gongshu helped him to return to Fuzhou to be filial for three years.

After being called into Beijing, Lin Sheng became a county magistrate, rewarded jurors and supplemented cabinet books. Later, he was appreciated by Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang, and was promoted to Yuanwailang. Later, he was valued by Zuo and promoted to the magistrate of Quzhou, Zhejiang. After that, the Taiping Army captured Zhangzhou, Fujian, and left the Qing army to rescue it.

Lin suggested that Zuo join the army by sea and was adopted by Zuo. Later, due to the timely rescue, after the Taiping Army withdrew from Zhangzhou, Lin was in charge of Hangjiahu Road and supervised the repair of the seawall. In recent years, many water conservancy projects have been built, which has been recognized by people. Later, he returned to Fuzhou due to illness.

1877, Mei invited Lin out of the mountain. Unfortunately, in recent years, there have been floods in Fuzhou, and Lin stayed in Fuzhou to control the water. During this period, he worked hard and tirelessly, and eventually broke down from overwork, which led to the recurrence of his illness and eventually died. However, the historical records about his children are unknown, so I won't delve into them for the time being.

Lin Gongshu's life experience in the first half of the year is basically similar to that of his brother Lin. After he returned to Beijing to be an official, he took a different road. Mainly in the Ministry of Punishment, worked as a supervisor of Jiangnan Road, Gyeonggi Road, Shanxi Road and Henan Road. Later, he died of illness.

But Lin Bu, the grandson of Lin Gongshu, was the last generation of Hanlin in the late Qing Dynasty. After the Northern Expedition began in the Republic of China, Lin Bu abandoned his official position and went to sea, taking the road of saving the country through industry and putting all his life savings into industry. As a result, he was constantly plundered by warlords in that turbulent era, and finally he was down and out.

Lin Zexu

Lin Gongshu's great-grandson Ling Qing is a famous diplomat in China and the Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations. His original name was Lin, but later he changed his name to Ling Qing for fear of involving his family. 20 10 died in Beijing.

Lin, Lin Puqing and Zheng Lin.

Lin is the eldest daughter of Lin Zexu, but there are not many historical records about her. Some people say that Lin married an orphan, Liu Qi, and later became a wealthy businessman. It is said that Lin Zexu personally betrothed his daughter to him.

Lin Puqing is one of the most famous daughters of Lin Zexu. Of course, her fame is still related to her husband. Lin Puqing's husband is his cousin Shen Baozhen, and Shen Baozhen is a famous minister in the Qing Dynasty. He once led an army against the Taiping Army, and Lin Puqing also helped her husband, which can be said to be a heroine among women.

Zheng Lin's name is unknown. She married Zheng Baozhong, who was later called Zheng Lin. Because there are few records about her, we won't delve into this marriage for the time being.
