On this notebook, there is a donation record titled "Helping China Our Country," detailing Lin Yutang's and his three daughters' assistance to China during the War of Resistance, with extraordinary precision, totaling over ten thousand U.S. dollars. Direct beneficiaries included the Overseas Relief Society, the Red Cross, the Women's Association, Beiquan Kindergarten, the Association for the Disabled, the Kangzang Academy, Jiangsu Hospital, Mrs. Cai Yuanpei and Zhou Jun, Song Qingling and her Hong Kong-based China Defense League, and Song Meiling and her orphanage.
The "Golden Book Diary" also lists the birthdays and zodiac signs of Lin's parents and relatives near and far, accompanied by hand-drawn sketches of the twelve zodiac animals and a Gregorian calendar conversion table, which is most fascinating.
From 1939 to 1940, Lin's three daughters co-authored "Our Family" and jointly translated Xie Bingying's "The Girl Rebel." Lin Yutang not only strongly supported their literary endeavors but also meticulously recorded in the ledger the drafting, deadlines, completion, publication, printing, and payments for these two books—using exactly the same format as he had for his own prior works. Such documentation reflects both respect and profound paternal love.
In 1995, Lin Yutang’s daughter Lin Taiyi attended the symposium on the centenary of Lin Yutang’s birth hosted by Xiamen University and read her essay "In Memory of My Father," recalling her father once telling her: "It doesn't matter if your writing is not good, but you must not be a bad person. I believe that when judging a cultured person, one should observe what kind of husband, wife, father, or mother that person becomes, shaped by such culture. In comparison, all other achievements—art, philosophy, literature, and material life—become insignificant."
