Lin's ten-minute appearance at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony was kept secret. She arrived in Taiwan by private plane. She was not seen entering the theatre along the red carpet. She entered the building quietly and entered the dressing room. Lin's partner in presenting awards at the ceremony was Oscar winning director Ang Lee. Lee said the only reason he joined this year's event was because he knew Lin would be there.
