She joked that she was more likely to feel stage fright when facing the public as “Brigitte Lin” in those days. In the 22 years from the ages of 17 to 39, Dr. Lin was the lead in one hundred films across a wide range of genres. Her legendary status gradually took shape after she began acting in martial arts (wuxia) films. She said many of her works were unforgettable, including her first film, the literary romance Outside the Window, as well as Peking Opera Blues, Red Dust, and The Legend of the Swordsman, in which her role as “Dongfang Bubai” (Invincible East) won her lasting fame. Hardships always lie behind the honors. Dr. Lin shared some painful experiences, such as the difficulties of being hung on wires during the filming of Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain and while playing Dongfang Bubai. But the two injuries to her eyes were most dangerous: she was first hit by blank bullet while filming Peking Opera Blues, which caused a retinal break; and when filming Dragon Inn, she was struck again by a bamboo arrow, resulting in a torn cornea. Recalling these events in an understated tone, Dr. Lin said that actors are required to have the spirit of “take the bull by the horns” and Professor Jin praised her professionalism by calling her a tireless go-getter. From Legendany Star to Literary Writer At her career peak at the age of 39, Dr. Lin chose to retire and start a family, entering the second phase of her life. She admitted that during the ten years away from the spotlight, while she could focus on caring for her daughter, she also worried about becoming disconnected from society. After being introduced to Professor Jin in 2003, Dr. Lin shared her interest in literature and, with Professor Jin’s encouragement, she stepped into another new chapter in her life. Speaking about the reason for enjoying writing, Dr. Lin mentioned that she had tried writing before but would put her works away in a drawer afterwards, sharing them with 林博士(左)與金教授(右)在台上就「一程一景色,處處好風光」展開對談。 Dr. Brigitte Lin in conversation with Professor Serena Jin, featuring the topic “Wonders in Every Step; Splendors at Every Turn”.
