==Death==
On 10 March 1943, his car was involved in an accident. Two days later, he had a stroke while meeting the Canadian delegation. As he was in [[hospice]], he urged the recovery of Taiwan be included in the post-war settlement; it became part of the [[1943 Cairo Declaration|Cairo Declaration]] months later. He died on 1 August, aged 76, following which a month of mourning was declared. He was the longest serving head of state in the Republic of China while it still held [[mainland China]]. The central executive committee elected Chiang as chairman of government a few hours after Lin's death. All of the powers that were denied to the chairmanship were restored for Chiang.

Lin visited Qingzhi Mountain in [[Lianjiang County|Lianjiang]], [[Fuzhou, Fujian]] and was fascinated by it, which encouraged him to style himself "Old Man Qingzhi" ({{zh|c=青芝老人|p=Qīngzhī lǎorén|labels=no}}) in his old age. His monument, built beside Qingzhi Mountain in 1926 before his death, was damaged in the [[Cultural Revolution]], and was restored in 1979.
