In 1970, he won the Chinese Writers & Artists Association's (中國文藝協會) Culture and Art Award Award, which established Lin's firm position in the field of new poetry.[1]
In his youth, Lin Huan-chang was exposed to the monthly magazine New New Literature (新新文藝), where he became acquainted with genres such as new poetry, essays, and short stories. This had a profound impact on him and eventually led to his decision to start writing.[2] During his military service, Lin participated in the China Literary Correspondence School Military Literary Class (中國文藝函授學校軍中文藝班) poetry group, where he began to learn how to write new poetry. After his discharge, he attended the Chinese Writers & Artists Association's Literary Research Class poetry group, where he met people like Chi Hsien (紀弦), Cheng Chou-yu, and Ya Hsien.[3]
