Draft:Lin Hsiu-ho
  • Comment: Most of these sources focus primarily on the director and his adaptation (which Lin himself did not write), with very little mention of the subject. Source 2 does review the book stated, but the person described as the author in the source cannot possibly be the subject (the age and name of Lin are both wrong). Lynch44 12:13, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Lin Hsiu-ho (Chinese: 林秀赫; pinyin: Lín Xiùhè; born 7 January 1982), also romanised as Lin Hsiu-he, is a Taiwanese novelist. He is known for his short story collection Deep Quiet Room (2018), which was adapted into a 2025 feature film of the same name that received multiple nominations at the 62nd Golden Horse Awards.[1]

Early life and education

Lin was born in Tainan, Taiwan, on 7 January 1982, and grew up in the Daqiao Village of Yongkang District. He earned a PhD in Chinese Literature from National Taiwan Normal University, where his research focused on modern and contemporary literature, film, and popular culture.

Literary career

Lin began writing fiction in 2002 in Kaohsiung. His short stories have been shortlisted for the Yu Dafu Fiction Prize and the China Times Literary Award, and he has received the United Daily News Literary Award, the Lin Rong-san Literary Award, the Ministry of Education Literary Award, the National Student Literary Award (first prize in fiction), and the Taipei Literary Award (first prize in fiction).

Most of these stories were later collected in Deep Quiet Room (深度安靜, 2018). His 2025 novel Taipei Literary Youth (台北文青小史) was reviewed in the international publication China Books Review, which described it as an "inventive and entertaining novel" in which Lin "pulls no punches in his portrayal of the problems plaguing the Taiwanese literary ecosystem".[2]

Film adaptation

Lin's novella Deep Quiet Room was adapted into the 2025 Taiwanese feature film Deep Quiet Room, directed by Shen Ko-shang. The film, Shen's narrative feature debut, follows a husband who discovers dark family secrets after his wife's suicide.[3]

The film won the Fei Mu Award for Best Film at the 2025 Pingyao International Film Festival, where lead actor Joseph Chang received the Best Actor award. At the 62nd Golden Horse Awards, it received nominations for Best Leading Actor (Joseph Chang), Best Supporting Actor (Chin Shih-chieh), Best New Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Art Direction.[4][5] It also competed at the 28th Far East Film Festival in Italy.[1]
