Lai Changxing to release autobiography next year
Lai Changxing has responded to the signing of the Approved Destination Status (ADS) agreement signed during PM Harper’s four-day visit to China on Dec 2-6.
“I’m happier than anyone to see ADS (being signed),” Lai Changxing told the Chinese media in Vancouver on Dec 3.
The rationale behind his “happiness“, Lai said, was because it had always been rumoured that his staying in Canada was the biggest obstacle for China not granting the ADS for so long.
“Now it shows I wasn’t in between the two countries on this,” said Lai. He’s glad to see that China and Canada now separate his case with ADS.
He urged reporters that next time when they see any Chinese officials, tell them that Lai “congratulates China and Canada on the ADS from the bottom of his heart.”
On the other hand, Lai said his autobiography will be completely by year-end and will go to publication in January 2010 “somewhere in Asia.” He declined to disclose where exactly will the autobiography be released.
Lai said the book will be titled “Lai Changxing talks about Lai Changxing” (賴昌星說賴昌星). He said he will talk about his struggle off poverty and the “real story” behind many accusations against him.
His autobiographer also wishes to write about Lai’s many women, he said. Lai said the book will “talk a little on this topic, not much.”

thank you professor burton. but it isn’t really a 連載 of his biography. it’s just a recap of his recent interview with omni tv and a recap of events. we just talked to the author yesterday, she’s still working hard on the final copy and it’s a bit behind schedule. it’s just a gimmick of the yangtze newspaper to label old stuff as “連載”.
