Public information about Lin Lei is quite limited. Only two of the author's works are currently held in the collection, covering the fields of art and computer science respectively. One of them, Simple Drawings, is an introductory art book that explains the basic drawing methods and key points of form for beginners, written in plain language with an emphasis on practice. The other, IUV-4G Mobile Communication Technology Practical Guide, turns to communications technology, offering guidance on the practical operation of 4G mobile communications and bearing the clear character of a technical tutorial. The two works differ considerably in subject: one focuses on simplified imagery and freehand drawing practice, the other on the applied side of mobile communications technology, reflecting the author's cross-disciplinary attempt at writing accessible instructional books. Because no reliable records exist regarding dates of birth and death, nationality, or professional career, the author's life and creative background remain difficult to outline; readers may nonetheless sense, from the subjects and approaches of these two works, a writing orientation aimed at beginners and emphasizing hands-on practice.
