Mr. Lian-fa Lin is the fourth child at home. He has three elder sisters and one younger brother. His father, Mr. Guo-he Lin, came to Changhua from Tainan to learn how to bake painting on metal surfaces. He married Mrs. Chiu-hua Chuang and had three daughters and two sons. Mr. Guo-he Lin set up his own business after he has mastered the skills in bake painting.
Mr. Lin recalled that he was a naughty boy and liked to run about. As far as he could remember, the whole family was busy working all the time. There were no holidays, summer or winter vacations. There was not much leisure time but the family was very happy.
His parents were nice people. They were always friendly to friends and relatives. Sometimes his parents even lent money to the businesses with overdue payments, if they realized these people were in a financial difficulty. At that time, he didn’t understand why his parents did this. “They worked hard for their money. How could they hand out money to those who owed them money?” However, his parents always smiled and said, “We should always try out best to help the people in need.” Their merciful attitude and kind hearts set up a good example to their children.
