He was first named Mayor of Guangzhou in 1923, and later served as Chairman of the Guangzhou City Council in 1927, before assuming the mayoralty for a second time between 1928 and 1931. Lin then served as Vice Chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government under Chen Jitang and Lin Yizhong between 1931 and 1936. He succeeded Huang Musong as minister of the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission later that year, but was shortly thereafter named auditor-general of the Republic of China. Lin held the post until his death on 4 October 1948.
