At the age of 28, she climbed her hometown’s highest mountain, ascended to the sky, and became the Empress of Heaven. Since then, fishermen reported that Lin’s image would appear to guide them when they got lost in the ocean.

She is the most prominent folk deity in Taiwan, worshipped by a large number of followers in around 200 temples, while several hundred more worship her along with other Taoist or Buddhist deities.
Local peoples’ devotion toward Matsu is world-renowned. A government–produced documentary titled “Matsu—Taiwan’s Guardian Goddess” won a Platinum Remi Award in the 35th WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival in 2002.
