Lin Zhipeng, also known as No. 223, was born in 1979 in Shantou, Guangdong. He graduated from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies with major of financial English.
Lin is a photographer, writer, and independent publisher. As a calm observer of the multiple identities and transitions in life, he captures people, places, and experiences through his work, documenting everything from fleeting moments to the complexities of life, forms, and growth.
Lin’s work is widely circulated through social media, online platforms, and ongoing publications. His work has come to reflect and define a certain zeitgeist of the post-80’s and 90’s generation of non-mainstream Chinese youth. His photographs act as the collective poetic diary of a generation eager to escape social pressures and to aspire to the pleasures of life in a society that is as indifferent as it is rapidly evolving.
Lin Zhipeng currently lives and works in Beijing, China.
