Her agent suspected that she might be good at acting when he found out about Ruby Lin's talent to cry on cue. When she graduated Zhong Xin High School she stared in her first movie role in School Days. Her favorable habits helped her career move forward, and she joined the acting company Yi Ren. The company filmed the TV show Huan Zhu Ge Ge. In the show Ruby was the co-star of the film next to other upcoming artist such as Vicki Zhao and Alec Su. The show boomed with popularity, not only in Taiwan, but in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and many other asian countries.

Since the show had become so popular, the demand for Ruby Lin was high. The show cast members of Huan Zhu Ge Ge all recorded songs for the Official Soundtrack. There was alot of radio-play of the songs, so BMG records signed her to their label. They released a mini album entitled Hearing. The cd sold thousands. So the company took the next step and made a full length album. The cd was called Shuang Mian Lin Xin Ru Tou Huai Song Bao (Two Faces of Ruby Lin). An attempt to make a career on mainland China was a goal, so they released a cover of the Japanese Para Para Paradise song Dum Dum Pistol. The song did quite well and a second, modified version of Shuang Mian Lin Xin Ru Tou Huai Song Bao was released under the name of Para Para.

After Huan Zhu Ge Ge, Ruby Lin starred in many popular movies along side of other actor stars such as Nicholas Tse, Eason Chan, and Joey Yung- just to name a few. The movies were usually targeted to teenagers and were comedies. Although her roles weren't usually main ones, she thrived in the TV series buisness. Today, Ruby has broken away from her character in Huan Zhu Ge Ge and is a much loved tv-star.

忽然又想起了你在这个晴朗天气
忽然周围的空气全向你靠近
时常想起和你的点点滴滴
阴霾心情挥之不去
以为回忆应该只属於回忆
原来已经藏在我的呼吸里
以为自己说忘记就忘记
才发现是我自己一再把你提起

回忆像一杯Martini
苦涩却又让人着迷
淡淡的甜蜜气息包围着我的呼吸
回忆像一杯Martini 让人沉溺
我必须拿出勇气大步走下去
忽然又想起了你在这个晴朗天气
忽然周围的空气全向你靠近
时常想起和你的点点滴滴
阴霾心情挥之不去
以为回忆应该只属於回忆
原来已经藏在我的呼吸里
以为自己说忘记就忘记
才发现是我自己一再把你提起
回忆像一杯Martini
苦涩却又让人着迷
淡淡的甜蜜气息包围着我的呼吸
回忆像一杯Martini 让人沉溺
我必须拿出勇气大步走下去
回忆像一杯Martini
苦涩却又让人着迷
淡淡的甜蜜气息包围着我的呼吸
回忆像一杯Martini 让人沉溺
我必须拿出勇气大步走下去
回忆像一杯Martini
苦涩却又让人着迷
淡淡的甜蜜气息包围着我的呼吸

回忆像一杯Martini 让人沉溺
我必须抽离眷恋气息

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 林心如's song "Martini" express the sudden recollection of a past love in the midst of a clear and sunny day. The air around the singer seems to gravitate towards the memories, and they frequently reminisce about the little moments shared with this person. Despite trying to forget and move on, the dark and melancholic emotions linger. The singer realizes that memories should only belong to the past, but they have become ingrained in their every breath. By trying to forget, they inadvertently bring up the memories repeatedly. The metaphor of a Martini is used to describe these memories, bitter yet mesmerizing, with a faint sweetness surrounding the singer's every breath. The memories have become intoxicating, drowning them in nostalgia. However, they know they must gather the courage to take big steps forward and break free from the attachment to these memories.
