Lin is good at expressing women's love and marriage in the new and old alternate times since the May 4th New Culture Movement. Her pen is almost stubbornly wandering in this field, constantly digging, exploring and thinking, trying to reflect the changes of history and the ups and downs of the times from the ancient mirror of love and marriage, or reflect the social outlook of China from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China until the Anti-Japanese War.
