Career


She rose to stardom with her 1993 album entitled I Can Never Understand Your Love (in Mandarin 你的柔情我永远不懂). It reached the top of the Chinese album charts, selling 1.5 million copies. She ended up releasing 7 albums.[2]

Personal life

In 1995, she married the singer Shen Yongge, founder of Zhu Shu Entertainment Ltd., a record company. He helped her with releasing three albums that defined the peak of her career in 2000. Shen and Chen were a popular celebrity couple until divorcing in 2007.[3] Her second marriage was to singer and producer Zhang Chaofeng in July 2009, and soon after in August 2009 Chen Lin released her last EP. Friends said she was plagued with emotional problems leading up to her suicide in October 2009.

Death

Three months after her second marriage, she committed suicide on 31 October 2009 by jumping from an apartment building in the Olympic Garden community in Chaoyang District, in Beijing.[3][4] It was reported that some of Chen's friends said the singer was traumatized about the failure of her first marriage to Shen Yongge and picked his birthday to commit suicide.[3]
