Her Career:
Started when she was 14 and started appearing in Hong Kong movies and commercials. At 15, auditioned for a girlband to be launched by BMG called 4inLove and passed with flying colors, from then on, she was called "Rainie" along with other 3 girls. Moved to Taiwan, and pursue her acting career as she lived with her co-band members under one roof. She starred in various dramas starting with the mega blockbuster 'Meteor Garden' where she played a supporting yet pivotal role, the cute Xiao You (Hana Yori Dango's "Yuki" Chinese counterpart) and at that start, the rest was history as she proceeded on to be a much-loved leading lady by respectable men and starred in more bankable dramas. Unfortunately, late 2002, for reasons, 4inLove had to disband. Windie and Sunnie proceeded with their studies and Cloudie pursued to be a stewardess. Rainie was left in the E-circle and now as a solo artist resumed with her career and reached new heights and levels with a new altern! ative --- a host. She had discovered her hosting skills therefore hosting jobs she did left and right. She did that without recking her acting career which was she also received projects left and right. She continued singing by performing on the OSTs of her dramas. Now, Yang Cheng Lin is considered as one of Taiwan's cutest faces, youth models and an idol. With projects left and right, this girl still has a long way to go --- perhaps --- a solo album?
