As we talked, I realised that Mr. Lin is a typical renaissance man. He has traveled extensively and extremely well read, from Chinese classics to western philosophy. His essays are a joy to read, documenting his travel experience through keen observation and eloquent verses.<\/p>\n<p>I always admire people who accept the trade off so they could follow their heart. Mr. Lin still thinks of himself as a full time artist. Farming is an opportunity for him to stay humble and learn the beauty of nature. Now, he has the earth as his canvas.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s wait for his next master piece.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about Lin Chuan Chu \u6797\u9293\u5c45 from this link. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earth-holder.com.tw\/about_1.htm\">http:\/\/www.earth-holder.com.tw\/about_1.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='840' height='503' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-EKs89paHX0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='840' height='503' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B_LioT53g14?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='840' height='503' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S2JTYlIpcR8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='840' height='503' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X5DA3njsKoI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I still remember the day Ming and I interviewed Mr. Lin Chuan Chu (\u6797\u9293\u5c45).
