Creative characteristics
Lin's works are special, with her own characteristics and distinctive style, because she stubbornly limits the subject matter to women and shapes a world with women's eyes and careful observation; The passage of time, the transformation of society and the vicissitudes of the world are all expressed through women's body and mind. It can be said that almost none of the women in her works died well; This means that all the women she describes have experienced disappointment, and most of the setbacks in love are unfortunate. No woman is really happy. Although these women don't lack the joy of life or the love they live on, they are still an unfortunate group.
