I would suggest a bit different approach, if we go the
'$HOME/texmf/bibtex/bib/hongyi' way:

  (setq reftex-use-external-file-finders t)
  (setq reftex-external-file-finders
    '(("bib" . "kpsewhich -format=.bib %f")))

It is described on the same "page" as 'reftex-bibpath-environment-variables'.

P.S. We didn't even suggest to use symlink!
