To Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia, age is just a number. The screen goddess of Chinese-language cinema might be celebrating her 65th birthday on Sunday, but it is how she feels deep inside that matters.
"I see that you are 22 years old. But take a look at my heart, it is a 22-year-old too. As long as you have the heart of a child, you will stay as a 22-year-old forever." Such was Lin's advice for her then 22-year-old stepdaughter Claudine Lauren Ying, who was going through heartbreak - revealed in Inside and Outside the Window, Lin's writing debut in 2010.
