Library Live Lecture X Master Brother (Lin Pin-Rui)

Life inevitably brings pain and regrets. How can we face them and find the strength to start anew?

The NFU Library specially invites writer Master Brother (Lin Pin-Rui). Drawing from his ten years of experience in long-term care, late-night work at a funeral home, and keen observations of death and grief, Master Brother reveals the heavy burden of miscommunication and regrets in human nature.

Through writing, he has found a way to reconcile with himself and the past. In his works, he also discovers new possibilities and hope in life. He will share his life story and insights, guiding the audience to reflect on reconciliation and rebirth.

Lecture Date: November 18, 2025 (Tuesday) 14:00–15:30
