Meritorious Service Record

On October 29, 1921, when the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea dispatched Shin Gyu-sik as a special envoy to negotiate with the Guangdong Constitutional Protection Government, Lin Sen, who was serving as Chairman of the Senate, participated in the meeting and expressed his support for the Korean independence movement.
Even after the Chinese Nationalist Government relocated from Nanjing to Chongqing in 1937, Lin Sen continued to advocate for the Provisional Government and Korean independence activists. In April 1941, when Wu Tiecheng (吳鐵城) became Secretary-General of the Kuomintang and took charge of matters related to the Provisional Government, Lin Sen urged him to spare no effort in supporting Korea’s independence.
In December 1941, in a formal declaration of war against Japan, Lin Sen reaffirmed China’s commitment to resisting Japanese aggression, stating:
"For years, China has made every sacrifice to continue its resistance-not only to safeguard its own independence and survival but also to uphold international law, justice, the welfare of humanity, and world peace. The Chinese government has repeatedly emphasized this position. As a peace-loving nation, China has waged a sacred struggle against Japan for over four years, hoping that the aggressor would ultimately reflect on its actions."
His statement underscored China’s determination to support not only its own independence but also the liberation of other nations, including Korea, from Japanese colonial rule. Lin Sen’s unwavering commitment to this cause reinforced the Sino-Korean alliance, enabling the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea to continue its resistance against Japan.
The South Korean government posthumously awarded him the Order of Merit for National Foundation (Presidential Medal) in 1968.
