Taiwanese actress-model Vivian Hsu recently released her new book,
whose Mandarin title loosely translates to “My topsy-turvy life: From a
14-year-old girl to a 40-year-old woman, Steel V’s courageous diary”.
The
book, which was released online yesterday, saw thousands of fans
staying up so that they will be the first few to lay their hands on
their very own copy of it.
The actress-model, who’s known to be a
workaholic, wrote the book while under bedrest last year, as the doctor
had advised the then-pregnant 41-year-old to refrain from walking around
so that her baby would be healthy.
During
the 142 days, Vivian penned down all the struggles that she’d
experienced in the past 26 years, including snippets about her family,
showbiz debut, career and marriage.
The limited-edition version, which came with Vivian’s signature on
it, were all sold out within hours of its release, with both signed and
un-signed copies topping the bestseller charts.
The books will be
officially released next Friday (September 16), with a mini-booklet
entitled “Steel V’s physical education classes”, where Vivian discloses
how she managed to slim down with the help of a healthy diet and
exercise.
Vivian had underwent a difficult pregnancy
last year, when she had to eat ‘13 pills a day, and had 300 injections
during the course of her pregnancy’, in addition to being confined to
her bed, due to her age.
