Timeline

1974

Jimmy Lin Chih-ying (, born 15 October 1974) is a Taiwanese singer, actor, and race car driver.

Lin was born in Taipei on 15 October 1974.

He was the second child in a family of five children.

Lin graduated from Zhong Xiao Primary School and Huai Sheng Secondary School.

At the age of 16, while he was studying Drama and Photography in Hua Gang, Lin was discovered during a performance in school.

During this time, he was the star of the campus.

At first, Lin declined his first manager's offer to enter the entertainment industry but later took up the offer.

1992

In 1992, at the age of 17, he became a superstar overnight following the release of his debut album, Not Every Love Song Has Fond Memories (不是每個戀曲都有美好回憶).

Lin's sweeping fame across Asia gained him the nickname "Little Whirlwind".

He was also known as one of the "Little Four Heavenly Kings" (四小天王) in Taiwan.

Lin became the youngest singer ever to hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum (香港紅館), being only 18 years old at the time.

Lin went on to record and release thirteen more albums, including special editions and compilations, and has since filmed many movies and series, as well as endorsed many products.

Throughout his singing career, he also received many awards for his hit songs and albums.

1994

Lin enjoyed great popularity until 1994, when he had to serve compulsory military service.

Despite knowing it would affect his career tremendously, Lin did not seek special treatment from the government.

In October that year, he entered the military like any other ordinary male of his age.

Despite his fame, Lin did not have an easy life in the military.

1996

After 2 years in the military, Lin returned to acting and singing in 1996.

Lin's career as an actor and singer was momentarily postponed by his compulsory military service and upon his return, he was overshadowed by many newcomers.

Despite the difficulties Lin faced in re-entering showbiz, he worked hard and even set up his own company, Jimmy Creative, which produced his recent 5 albums under the music label "Forward".

1997

In 1997, Lin decided to realize his dream of car racing.

In one of the races that year, he encountered a crash which nearly cost him his life.

Seconds after limping out of the wreck, the car exploded.

The only reminder of the accident now is a few metal plates in the foot that was crushed.

Despite the accident, Lin did not give up on racing, and constantly strove to better himself.

With regard to this, he often says, "When I race, I am not racing against others, but against myself."

Today, Lin is one of the top 10 rally racers in Mainland China.

1999

The most noteworthy album was "Scarecrow" (稻草人)(1999), which contained a song of the same title.

2005

In a 2005 talk show, he revealed that in addition to the arduous training, Lin was bullied by seniors, and was expected to perform better than other soldiers.

Although he did not expect star treatment, Lin was shocked to be treated badly for being a celebrity.

In spite of all these, Lin performed well as a soldier, and received awards for excellent performance.

He served primarily in the entertainment section of the military.

In 2005, he signed a contract with Hong He, the top team in China, as a racer.

He trained under top racing coach Ma Jun Kun.

Lin hopes to become a Formula 3 racer someday, and become a full-time professional racer.

In 2005 he and two friends founded the Ping Tzuo Racing Advisory Company at the ZhuHai International Circuit.

On 23 October 2005, Lin hosted the first "Jimmy Cup", a racing event where mainly male celebrities race.

The event's aim was to increase the awareness of traffic safety to the masses and to promote the love of car racing.

2006

In 2006 he formed the Jimmy Lin Rally Team to compete in the China Rally Championship.

His team won Overall 3rd place in the 2006 China Rally Championship.
