[Reporter Liu Xiaoxin/Changhua Report]Breaking the stereotype of an artist as a night owl who “gets more beautiful as the night goes on,” 80-year-old painter Lin Junyin, who was born in Xianxi, Changhua, believes that the first rule in life is to “go to bed early and get up early.” He said that what he loves most in life is holding a paintbrush in one hand and a table tennis racket in the other. Because of his good health and sharp eyes and ears, he can hold solo exhibitions everywhere and travel well at home and abroad!
Lin Junyin and his wife Wu Qin are both 80 years old. Whenever Lin Junyin holds a solo exhibition, they will attend together. Lin Junyin said that during his teaching career from elementary school to university, whether he was working or retired, he painted every day, because for him, painting is the most important thing in life and his favorite thing.

Lin Junyin pointed out that he is still able to run around freely and pick up a pen to sketch when he sees the scenery. The first thing is to be healthy, and he believes that the best way to maintain good health is to “go to bed early and get up early.” Although many people think that artistic creation is about Inspiration comes only in the middle of the night, but he believes that only a healthy body is the source of energy for creation. As long as you are healthy in life, you can always do what you like.
Lin Junyin said that in addition to painting every day, he has liked playing table tennis since he was a child. Now that he is 80 years old, he still enjoys playing table tennis. It’s just that I’m older and no longer have to run around all over the field. I can still exercise freely at this age. It’s really luck and God’s blessing.
Lin Junyin said that in order to display his solo exhibition at Lukang Guild Hall, he specially selected paintings of Lukang’s historical sites. Of course, they must be paired with the Changhua Baguashan Giant Buddha and his hometown, Xianxi Yaozai Fishing Port. He believes that painting will last until old age. Life does not begin until you are 80 when you are old, because painting requires frequent use of the brain, so that people will not age too quickly.
