html When he was 323 years old, Jimmy Lin bought his first Ferrari sedan in his life.
When I was not busy with work, Jimmy Lin would occasionally drive this Ferrari and return to the stall where I often went to school. His high school friends recalled that scene "like a movie scene" -
On Zhongxiao East Road, a bright red Ferrari whizzed past, and a young and handsome boy was sitting in the car.
That year was the 6th year of Jimmy Lin's debut. He was experiencing the trough in his acting career. Like every young man in his early 20s, Jimmy Lin is full of confusion about the future.
Now 25 years have passed, and Jimmy Lin, who is already 48 years old, has gradually realized that the composition of life is continuous ups and downs, success and failure with the same frequency, as well as accidents and uncertainties that are never absent.
The only thing that remains unchanged is perhaps the wind blowing on Zhongxiao East Road.
For a long time, Jimmy Lin was called the "life victory group".
Since his debut, he has become popular with his outstanding appearance and has become a recognized "Asian whirlwind" that has become popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places. Although the peak of the days after
, although the peak quickly passed and the popularity occasionally fluctuated, every few years, Jimmy Lin always became popular with a TV series and returned to people's attention again.
In addition, Lin Zhiying also manages the passionate racing career. To this day, he is one of the few professional racing drivers in the entertainment industry.
htmlAfter the age of 334, he got married and had children, and formed his own family of five. When people talked about him, the keywords that came to mind were "ageless face" and "the memory of a generation".

Until the age of 47, a car accident occurred in Jiying Lin’s life.
On July 22, Lin Zhiying drove on a section of road in Taoyuan, Taiwan, China. During the process, he suddenly hit the separate island in the middle of the road, causing the car to catch fire.
Also sitting in the car at that time, Jimmy Lin's youngest son was later rescued from the car by passers-by and rushed to a nearby hospital.
This car accident caused severe fractures of Jimmy Lin's face and shoulders, and multiple surgeries were required to reconstruct the face, and a long recovery period was also required.
This year happened to be the 30th year of Jimmy Lin's debut, and October 15 this year was his 48th birthday.

Now, this car accident may become a turning point in Jimmy Lin's career. After
, the answers to whether his "ageless face" can still return to his former state, whether he will appear in acting, and whether he can continue to engage in his favorite racing career seem to be unknown.
A whirlwind is passing through Jimmy Lin's life. What awaits him may be a long reconstruction.
Although people are often envied in the future for "successful life", during Jimmy Lin's growth, most of the time he was "not very good memories".
In his childhood memory, his parents had only two states of getting along with each other since childhood - either the two-month-long Cold War or the fierce quarrel.
Every time this comes, Jimmy Lin will hide in the room with his brother and younger brother and dare not speak.

More than a year later, after Lin Zhiying's father passed away, his mother would still complain about the grievances he had experienced in this marriage -
For example, on the day of Lin Zhiying's birth, there was a storm outside the house, and her mother suddenly felt that she was going to give birth, but at this time, Lin Zhiying's father happened to go to a friend's house for dinner, so she had to call the hospital alone. While waiting for an ambulance, Jimmy Lin was born in the living room at home.
Mother told Jimmy Lin: "Many people are born to see doctors and nurses first, and then mothers. Only you, the first one is to see me."
"We are both very lucky and both survived."

This marriage lasted until the second grade of Jimmy Lin. One day, my mother told him that she had to leave. From that day on, she really never returned to this home, and the traces related to her in the room began to be slowly erased.
This year, Jimmy Lin was 7 years old.
After that, the father remarried and the stepmother brought two daughters. In this way, two families and seven people formed a new family.
Faced with this reorganized family, Lin Zhiying and his three brothers were not willing to integrate into it. For a long time, they did not eat the food cooked by their stepmother, did not talk to her, and even if they met by chance on the road, they would walk around her.

In order to make money, in the summer vacation of high school, Lin Zhiying and his friends found two odd jobs. During the day, he worked as a waiter in a Western restaurant. At night, he came to a rib shop near his home, responsible for cleaning chicken legs in the kitchen.
At that time, many staff from the entertainment industry often went to the Western restaurant where Jimmy Lin worked for dinner. Many people would ask him if he would sign a contract to film after seeing Jimmy Lin.
That year, Jimmy Lin was 14 years old and thought everything was "too early", so he chose to refuse in the face of most invitations.

Until the second year of high school, at the school party, Jimmy Lin starred in a stage play called "Legend of Lifeline".
In the play, he plays a cheating husband. Although he only had five minutes of the whole performance, he was caught by the scouts in the audience at a glance. After the performance, the scouts found Jimmy Lin and sincerely invited him to sign a contract to debut.
At that time, Jimmy Lin had tried to shoot several advertisements, and in addition, he was studying in the drama major, entering the entertainment industry seemed to be his "optimal choice". After several discussions with his family, he decided to give it a try.
Jimmy Lin took the first step into the entertainment industry, but he did not expect that just by getting closer to this step, he was quickly absorbed into it by the entertainment industry and changed his life trajectory from then on.
For the entertainment industry, Jimmy Lin once described himself as "falling in unintentionally."
Lin Zhiying's father worked as an actor for several years and was quite famous in the circle, but later he felt that filming was too hard and turned to start a business.
Because I have experienced it myself, my father initially did not support Lin Zhiying's entry into the entertainment industry.

On the other hand, Jimmy Lin, who was born as an "idol singer" at the time, did not have much talent in singing and dancing.
When I was in high school, Lin Zhiying's favorite singer was the popular Wang Jie at the time. Every time he went to KTV with his classmates, he would always order Wang Jie's " Forgot You Forgot Me ", but every time he sang the chorus, he would not find the rhythm and needed everyone to count the beats together.
In addition, his pronunciation is not standard and his dancing is always stuck in rhythm. So before his debut, the company arranged a year-long course for Jimmy Lin, including Mandarin correct pronunciation, singing and dancing.
At that time, Jimmy Lin was teaching in school during the day and at night to attend classes in the company. He often lacked enough sleep. When the high school teacher recalled him, the first impression he remembered was "the boy who was sleeping on the table."

In 1992, after a year of training, 17-year-old Jiying officially debuted and released her first album "Not every love song has beautiful memories".
In the album, Jimmy Lin sang " Seventeen-year-old rainy season " and shared the mood of the boy. With this album, Jimmy Lin became a hit and became the only male star in the Taiwanese idol market in China at that time who could "compete" with Little Tigers .
In the same year, he released two consecutive albums "This Summer" and "Why I'm Always Injured". In the second year, when Jimmy Lin was 18 years old, he held four 10,000 concerts at the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium, becoming the youngest singer to hold a concert in Hung Hom .
Because it was too popular, Hong Kong media also named Jimmy Lin "Little Tornado", because at that time, as long as he appeared, he would always be surrounded and blocked. When the crowd dispersed, it would often leave a mess, like having just experienced a tornado.

That year, because of Lin Zhiying’s popularity, even the number of students applying for the Drama Department of Huagang Art School surged from 300 in the past to thousands. Every day, many calls came to the school to ask about Lin Zhiying’s recent situation.
Many years later, as Jimmy Lin's schoolmate, recalled that she said that in class, the teacher would often say a word to the students who were sleeping on their tummy:
"Don't waste your time here, don't think that you can become Jimmy Lin's successor."

In addition to releasing records, Jimmy Lin also began to enter the film industry at that time.
In 1992, Jimmy Lin partnered with Athena Chu , Zhang Weijian , Wu Qilong in the movie "Shift School Story ".

That year, Jimmy Lin just debuted, Athena Chu has not yet become the "Zixia Fairy", and Wu Qilong has just experienced the temporary disbandment of the Little Tigers and has begun to enter the entertainment industry alone.
They were just around 20 that year, and now, this movie is a story from 30 years ago.
After Athena Chu and Jimmy Lin in "Step School Story", Jimmy Lin starred in the movie " Tornado Kid ", with partners being 4-year-old Hao Shaowen, 6-year-old Shi Xiaolong , as well as Zhang Zhenyue and Vivian Hsu.
When promoting the movie, the host asked Hao Shaowen, whether he prefers Jimmy Lin or Vivian Hsu in the movie. Hao Shaowen replied: "Brother Lin, because he looks better."

In 1993, in the second year of his debut, Jimmy Lin participated in the movie "Chasing the Boy" directed by Wang Jing .
In the movie, Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin play the two sisters of Jimmy Lin. In addition, the participants include Jacky Cheung , Leung Ka-hui , Ekin Cheng , Ng Junru , etc.

That was the golden age of Hong Kong movies and Wang Jing, and it was also an important performance experience during the growth of 18-year-old Jimmy Lin.
At the scene of the shooting, Lin Zhiying followed Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung to learn how to take care of her body, and learned acting with Tony Leung, and gradually understood how to become an actor.
In those two years, Jimmy Lin made movies, released albums, attended endorsements, and was in high-density work every day. And the popularity of youth also means that many experiences that are exclusively puberty have been removed from Lin Zhiying's teenage life.
Ji. Lin Zhiying's old photo
After becoming famous, every time he appears, he always causes crowds to gather. So when he is not working, he always stays at home, and even occasionally watches movies, he has to choose the time of the early morning.
He can no longer sit on the side of the road and eat a bowl of red bean ice, and take the bus home with his classmates.
But for Jimmy Lin at that time, these troubles were always fleeting, just like the song " Heart Cloud " he sang when he was 20 years old:
"I want to tell the wind in the sky to gently blow away the clouds in my heart."
The occasional melancholy in his heart will not stay for too long and will soon dissipate.
In the years when Jimmy Lin was popular, he was called the "Four Little Kings of Taiwan" by the media together with Takeshi Kaneshiro , Wu Qilong, and Su Youpeng .

Occasionally, four people will participate in the show together. Once, when the host asked them four "thinking of life in 10 years", the other three people all mentioned:
"I want to make more money while it is popular now and prepare for the future."
and Jimmy Lin replied: "In 10 years, I want to become an international singer."

For the other three people, perhaps they have long realized that it is inevitable that they are in the entertainment industry, and popularity will not always be with them, so they must make plans first.
Lin Zhiying simply believed that everything would continue to improve. At that time, he did not understand the truth of life. Until later, reality allowed him to see the whole picture of life.
In 1996, when Jimmy Lin retired from the army, he suddenly realized that everything was different.
, he set up his own studio and began to be responsible for his acting career and release albums alone.
Lin Zhiying released the album "Men are easy to cheat" after he was discharged from the army
However, everything is even more difficult than he thought.
In the past, Jimmy Lin's album was almost equal to sales guarantee. In his words, it was: "In the past, it was sold casually, and the sales of 30 million were easily sold."
However, after he was discharged from the army, his album sales could not even reach one tenth of the past.
At the same time, the entertainment industry's attitude towards him is also quietly changing.When he was popular, there would be a group of people around him wherever Jimmy Lin went, and the staff were always the top. Even when participating in the program, the TV station would provide an independent dressing room.
Nowadays, these "privileges" no longer exist, and even very few programs have been invited to participate.
That year, Jimmy Lin was 28 years old. He saw the reality in the entertainment industry for the first time and fell into deep confusion. It was also at this time that he began to enter the racing world. In 1997, Jimmy Lin began to participate in professional racing competitions, and in the first competition, he achieved third place. Later, he won many professional competition championships and became one of the few professional racers in the entertainment industry.
However, too fast forward speed is often accompanied by unexpected dangers.
car accident caused three bones in Lin Zhiying's foot to be broken, and the comminuted fracture of the whole foot requires surgery and rehabilitation to gradually recover.
Lin Zhiying began to reflect on whether his behavior on the field reflected his mentality at that time - he was too anxious to return to the entertainment industry and to show the mature part of his heart:
"Because he was too anxious to win the championship, he ignored the driving ability range."
He also gradually realized that perhaps a little slower can grow faster.
, if you want to be hasty, you will not achieve it.
Although Lin Zhiying's acting career debuted as a singer, in public memory, more impressions about him are still the classic film and television images he created on the screen.
While putting more energy into racing, Jimmy Lin is also constantly watching the entertainment industry. At that time, the film industry was constantly declining, TV series were gradually rising, and Jimmy Lin also began to look for opportunities.
At that time, Jimmy Lin's contract was also signed under the film and television company of producer Wu Dun . He wanted to switch to filming TV series, but the contract had not expired.
Wu Dun said to Jimmy Lin: "If you can get the role of Xiaoyuer in " The Twins of the Peerless Tropics ", I will terminate the contract with you to let you be free."
Wu Dun talks about Jimmy Lin
In the end, Jimmy Lin won the role of "Little Yuer" through layers of auditions, and the role of "Hua Wuque" was Su Youpeng, who once ranked with him as the "Four Little Kings of Taiwan".
Ji. Lin Zhiying and Su Youpeng in "The Two Twins" are different from Su Youpeng, who has participated in many TV series including "Return of the Condor Heroes". This is the first time that Jimmy Lin has appeared in a TV series. Before he played "Little Yuer", many outstanding actors have already created this role - Tony Leung and Andy Lau have both played "Little Yuer". Although
has the best, Lin Zhiying's unique performance ultimately led to the popularity of the TV series "The Two Sexes", making it a classic in the hearts of a generation.

Jiang Lin's career also hit a new peak, becoming one of the highest paid stars in Taiwan, China again. After
, he released the album "Scarecrow", which included the theme song "Happiness First".
's role as "Little Fish" became a turning point in Jimmy Lin's career. After that, he gradually shifted his focus to actors and starred in TV series at a frequency of one to two movies a year.
During this period, Jimmy Lin's two most classic roles were the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in which he collaborated with Liu Yifei in 2003. In the play, he played the role of "Duan Yu" in white clothes.

and in 2007, in the idol drama " The Stars of the Sheep", Lin Zhiying portrayed the male protagonist with a bohemian personality " Zhong Tianqi ". To this day, this character has been the "Top Ten Classic Male Leaders" in the idol drama in the hearts of many people.

Although Jimmy Lin's career has not returned to the peak of his debut from the beginning to the end, in those years, as an actor, he created his own masterpieces, and in the racing stadium, Jimmy Lin also won 17 trophys one after another.
The triple identities of a racer, actor and singer begin to appear in Jimmy Lin's life until another identity is superimposed on his life.
Friends once described the type of girls that Jimmy Lin likes is - long hair, big eyes, and sweet smile.
Back to the past, since Jimmy Lin debuted at the age of 17, he has only publicly admitted two girlfriends, one is his current wife, Chen Ruoyi, and the other is Ruby Lin, who is also an actor with him.
In 1994, while filming the movie " Campus Expendables ", Jimmy Lin met the 18-year-old Ruby Lin, the other male star in the movie, the 21-year-old Takeshi Kaneshiro.

At that time, Ruby Lin had just debuted. "Campus Suicide Squad" was her first movie, and Jimmy Lin was popular all over the country. On the set, the two fell in love at first sight and developed into lovers and started dating underground.

is not busy, Lin Zhiying often drives sports car to take a ride on Ruby Lin to the top of the mountain to see the stars. This relationship was sweet. Lin Zhiying's father mentioned in an interview that Lin Xinru was the only girl Lin Zhiying took home to meet her parents.
However, this relationship ended regretfully in 1997. As for the reason for the breakup, Ruby Lin attributed it to being incompatible with her personality, while Jimmy Lin's explanation was that because Ruby Lin was filming the TV series "My Fair Princess" at that time, the two were far apart, and distance became the biggest problem.

Looking back, Ruby Lin became the only girlfriend that Jimmy Lin publicly admitted before marriage.
More than a year later, Jimmy Lin and Ruby Lin met again on a variety show. When asked who is more handsome by Jimmy Lin or Takeshi Kaneshiro, she shyly replied:
"That's still Jimmy Lin."

After breaking up, the two became friends. Every year on their birthday, Jimmy Lin will give gifts to Ruby Lin, and Jimmy Lin will release a new album, and Ruby Lin will also send a celebration flower basket.
Later, Jimmy Lin married Chen Ruoyi and Ruby Lin married Wang Jianhua. They all have their own happiness.
Lin Zhiying once mentioned in an interview that in his life, there are only two things that make him feel "very difficult". One is because he has to suspend his acting career when he is the most popular, and the other is to admit to the public that he "becomes a father".
The acquaintance between Lin Zhiying and his wife Chen Ruoyi originated from an auto show.
At that time, Chen Ruoyi was in his early 20s and had just debuted. In Jimmy Lin's story, she fell in love with Chen Ruoyi at first sight, but because her friends also liked Chen Ruoyi, she started her pursuit after she met her for half a year.

Ji. Lin is very nervous about this relationship.
Even though the two were photographed by the media in 2006, in an interview with the media, he also insisted that the two were "just friends" and defined their relationship as "scandal".
And in variety shows, when Chen Ruoyi was asked about her relationship with Jimmy Lin, she always kept silent and asked the host not to ask too many related questions.
It was not until 2009 that Jimmy Lin held a press conference on her 34th birthday, announcing that she had registered to marry Chen Ruoyi and gave birth to a son Xiaoxiao Zhi. People only knew that Jimmy Lin was not only married, but also became a father.
However, because Lin Zhiying's father died of illness, the two did not hold a wedding in the first two years of their marriage. It was not until 2013 that Lin Zhiying and Chen Ruoyi held a wedding in Thailand.
At the wedding, Jimmy Lin appeared on the beach by the beach on a white horse. This year, he was 39 years old, a former young idol, officially entered the next chapter of his life.

This year, it is the 30th year that Lin Zhiying debuted.
For a male star aged 48, such debut time means that most of his life and important life nodes are spent in the entertainment industry and in the public’s gaze.
For Jimmy Lin, who became famous for his debut, the time and range of being stared at is wider and longer.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of his debut that Jimmy Lin has also witnessed the change in the entertainment industry in different eras: "The beginning was a change in five years, and then three years, and now, it has been changing almost every year."
Gradually, in these changes, Jimmy Lin began to feel that he sometimes "can't keep up with the rhythm."
For example, in 2013, Jimmy Lin took his son Kimi to participate in the variety show " Where to Go, Dad, ". With his performance in the show, Jimmy Lin's popularity has risen.

However, the times have long been different from the past. After that, many netizens dug out the content of Jimmy Lin’s past Weibo and found that many of the "showing off wealth" pictures he posted were actually downloaded from the Internet.
The most famous one is that he once uploaded a cover photo taken by himself and Schumacher, which was later dug out. This photo was actually made by Jimmy Lin himself.

Under the shaping of these things, Jimmy Lin was labeled as vain, lying and bragging. When talking about this matter in an interview, he attributed these to the changes of the times:
"The entertainment industry in the past was very simple. You just need to do your part in your duties. There are so many media and comments on Weibo .
. Now the Internet can make you famous overnight and you can ruin your reputation. So I love and hate the new era. "
Although Lin Zhiying has become popular several times because of film and television works and variety shows, it is undeniable that his era has long been left in the 1990s.
In recent years, Jimmy Lin rarely released new albums. In the past six years, he has appeared on several variety shows and only filmed one movie, and began to turn more energy to his own business territory.
Occasionally, fans will ask him when he will film again. Lin Zhiying replied: "Waiting for a good script."
However, life often happens unexpectedly. Now, after experiencing a car accident, how far can Lin Zhiying recover and whether he will return to the entertainment industry in the future? The answer is still unclear.
But this may be the reality of life - even Jimmy Lin, known as the "Life Victory Group", inevitably needs to accept failures and setbacks, as well as accidents that will occur at some time.
But fortunately, no matter what the ending is, the rainy season of his 48-year-old will always pass.
