Lin Ching-tai Opens Up About Forgetfulness; Enjoys Hunting Wild Boars in Retirement

Actor Lin Ching-tai, renowned for his performance in the film 'Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale,' will appear in the new drama '13 Degrees Under the Clear Sky.' Lin revealed that he has been dealing with health issues, including high cholesterol, diabetes, and increasing forgetfulness since June last year. However, his manager clarified that he does not have dementia, and Lin himself stated that these issues do not affect his retirement life, as he still enjoys hunting wild boars. The 12-episode drama, produced by the Indigenous Peoples Television (IPTV), tells the story of a young Atayal man who returns to his tribe to take over his family's peach orchard and develops a romance with a city-based marketing specialist. Lin plays a traditional tribal elder and admitted that the heavy load of indigenous language dialogue was challenging. The cast, including Pan Chun-lun and Teng Yu-chen, is currently filming the series, which explores themes of tribal revitalization and love.
