The Echo Children's Encyclopedia contains an article introducing Linwang, which quotes an old soldier, Chou Ho-ting, who at the time took care of the elephants aboard ship. He said that Linwang tended to get seasick, but if he had eaten to his content, he was quite well behaved.
漢聲小百科《十月的故事》有一篇介紹林旺的文章寫著，當時是一位老兵周和庭在船上照顧它們。他說，林旺會暈船，不過只要吃飽了就很乖。
