After the passing of James Wong Jim, she wrote a memorial essay A Laugh at the World, and this “debut work” was warmly praised by the public, which ignited her passion for writing. Starting with her third piece, Little Flower, Professor Jin became the first reader of all her works, and guided her onto the path of becoming a writer. From 2003 to the present, another 22 years have passed, and Dr. Lin has published four essay collections: Inside and Outside the Window, Cloud Goes, Cloud Comes, In Front of the Lens, Behind the Lens, and Ching-hsia Sketches. Their themes revolve around her personal experiences, friendships in film and literary circles, daily life, and reflections on life. Her third book, In Front of the Lens, Behind the Lens was even selected for the Recommended Prize in the essay category at the 16th Hong Kong Biennial Awards for Chinese Literature. Dr. Lin is also preparing to release her fifth book this year. Professor Jin often visited literary masters with Dr. Lin. One of the most interesting visits she recalled was a 2007 trip to Beijing to meet Professor Chi Hsien Lin. At that time, Dr. Lin, introduced by Professor Jin, had already read many of Professor Chi’s works and admired his talent greatly. So, at parting, she asked to hold his hand “to gain some literary aura”. Later, Dr. Lin wrote about this experience in an article The Perfect Hand and, upon Professor Jin's recommendation, submitted it to Ming Pao Monthly, where it attracted great attention. She then became a columnist for the journal, marking her transformation from an actress to a literary writer. Beyond Writing Dr. Lin said that writing made her more curious and observant, allowing her to discover beauty and meaning in life. This also extended to another of her interests: painting. Sanyu and Henri Matisse, great masters of the School of Paris and Fauvism, are Dr. Lin’s favorite painters, while she often copied and imitated their works and once gifted Professor Jin a copy of Matisse’s painting Dance that she had spent ten hours copying. 崇基學院校董會主席陳德霖博士向林博士頒贈紀念品,答謝她應邀出任講者。 Dr. Chan Tak Lam Norman, Chair of the Chung Chi College Board of Trustees, presented souvenirs to Dr. Lin to thank her for being the keynote speaker at the talk.
