Jimmy Lin won Most Prominent Alumnus award from Hua Guang High School


Jimmy Lin won the Hua Guang High School Most Prominent alumnus award with over 160,000 votes after 3 months of online voting. When he received the award yesterday at his high school graduation ceremony he said, “I was not the best student and have received one demerit, but I was the most hard-working.”
Jimmy was discovered in his 2nd yr of senior high and received training. He debuted in his 3rd yr and became an overnight sensation. He has since become Hua Guang’s recruiting icon. Besides jimmy, his father also donated TWD1M every year and became the President of the PTA until jimmy graduated. He then continued to be the president.
Jimmy’s father and brother went with jimmy to the ceremony. Jimmy said, “The students now all have their own styles and ways of thinking.” He remembered his school life, “I prepared to record an album in my 2nd yr of school and was in the studio recording every day. Sometime I recorded till morning and fell asleep in class. I hid beside some tall classmates in order not to be seen by the teacher.” The car fanatic was given a demerit when he rode a motorbike to school against school rules.
Jimmy said he knew all along that he was not a good student, but he knew about hard work. Many artists graduated from Hua Guang besides Jimmy. In this “Hua Guang 10 most prominent alumni” voting, jimmy won with his fame in Mainland China and Taiwan. The other 9 winners are Cyndi Wang、王仁甫、Raine Yang、小鬼、Genie Zhuo、李岳、簡筑翎、XiaoS and 朱安禹。

He sang "The Dream Achiever" and used his beloved racing to encourage the graduates. "Racing is like life itself. You have to control the steeling wheel. Whether you are accelerating or decelerating don't leave yourself regrets."
