No Hiding It! Lien Yu-han Suddenly Reveals 'End-of-Life Plans,' Seeing Death Lightly: Wants Tree Burial, Will is a To-Do Item

Taiwanese actress Lien Yu-han openly discussed her views on life and death at an organ donation promotion event, where she signed a consent form for organ donation. Lien, who has consistently maintained an open perspective on the subject, stated, "People are born to die." She believes that since life eventually ends, it is better to plan for it in advance, allowing love to extend beyond one's lifetime.

Lien's interest in organ donation began years ago through her friend, actor Tseng Shao-tsung, who had completed his own consent form after working on the drama "The Undertaker." Initially believing the process was complicated, Lien was surprised to learn today that registration could be done online, which she promptly did.

She shared a common misconception that organ donation requires donating all organs. Lien clarified that individuals can choose specific organs, such as kidneys, lungs, or corneas, to donate based on their wishes. She emphasized the importance of open communication with family members before death. "The unknown causes fear, but if everything has been discussed, one can let go and pass on love," she explained.

When asked about her family's support, Lien humorously described herself as someone who acts first and informs later, though not intentionally secretive. She hopes that by sharing her decision publicly, her loved ones will gradually understand her perspective. "My participation in this event and filming a promotional video is a form of declaration, hoping my family knows my choice," she said.

Lien elaborated on her philosophy, suggesting that since everyone returns to the earth eventually, sharing any usable parts of oneself to help others is worthwhile. She views life not as living longer, but as approaching the end each day. Consequently, she believes that planning for organ donation, end-of-life care, and even writing a will are important considerations.

She has researched various end-of-life arrangements, including tree burials and natural burials, at Dharma Drum Mountain, viewing death as a natural part of life rather than a taboo subject. While her will is not yet complete, it is on her to-do list. Lien also mentioned her interest in Japanese books about aging, seeking to learn how to gracefully navigate the latter half of life.

Additionally, Lien, who has not acted in a drama for some time, announced that she will be joining a new production next week and beginning preparations for her new role.
