Taiwanese artist and celebrity Jimmy Lin Chih-ying was involved in a self-induced car crash while driving a Tesla on July 22. His post-crash injury condition continued to attract attention from the public. The latest news is that he has been discharged from the hospital and returned home to recuperate. Chen Chien-tzung, director of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou, briefed us on Lin’s latest situation. During the briefing, he strenuously refuted some of the Hong Kong media’s recent reports that Lin Chih-ying “needs to be fed with a nasogastric tube.”

Jimmy Lin had a fiery car accident in Taoyuan a month ago when his car caught on fire. Lin and his son were trapped inside and were lucky to be rescued in time by passers-by. However, Lin was seriously injured. In addition to the facial fracture, he also suffered a comminuted fracture of the humerus on the shoulder and a slight concussion. Recently, some Hong Kong media reported that although Lin underwent facial reconstruction surgery, his postoperative condition was poor, and he still needed to use a nasogastric tube.
