【截圖:自序】若你們受挫折，不論是啥都不必 洩氣；若你們覺得她勇敢樂觀，大家根本無法想像她有多勇敢樂觀。短文說不清，專訪一小時也不夠，故寫了『上蒼選了妳--全民女孩Selina的地獄90 天』。10萬字都是我寫的，沒有寫手。6月24日出繁體版（台港澳星馬美加），簡體版（內地）約7月底。
If you have encountered setbacks, no matter what it is, please don't get discourged; if you think she is brave and optimistic, you could never imagine how brave and optimistic she is. Short essay won't be able to tell it all, an 1 hour interview won't be enough, therefore I have written a story ["God has chosen you - nation's girl Selina's 90 days in hell]. Those 100 thousand words were all written by me digitally. The 24th of June is the release date of the traditional version(Taiwan, Hong Kong Singapore, Malaysia, Canada), the simplified version (Mainland China) will be released towards the end of July.
"Not only 90 days"
Since I was young I am a person who doesn't like to be photographed, because I have always thought I'm not photogenic. My expressions on photos are also very stiff; since young I don't like to bring camera along with me either.
It is troublesome, the one taking the photos have to develop them or sort them out. Besides, there will always be someone who brings along a camera. I can just ask that person who takes the photos to send them to me, then it is all done.
Even if s/he doesn't send them then that doesn't matter either.
The diaries I wrote when I was a child was for homework. Except for the time when teachers forced me to write, I didn't write any diaries at all during my spare-time. There was once when I received all kinds of diaries, even that kind where a lock was attached to the cover. I don't think I have ever opened that one. I'm very lazy and I also lack patience.
October 22 2010 till January 19 2011, 90 days, the 90 days which I can't describe, I wrote for 90 whole days, took photographs for 85 whole days. From those 90 days till now, I, who never shed any tear while watching movies have now turned into someone who can whenever and wherever get teary-eyed. The 90 days that are recorded in this book is only snippets of the 90 days, because I have not personally seen many of the processes nor did I accompany Selina on mornings and afternoons.
What is most important is, I am not her. Whatever I say, I can't completely feel what she has felt.
This book is what I have seen and heard in those 90 days. It is my recordings, photos, voice recordings, diaries, memories, feelings, what I have seen and heard and also what she has told me. As compared to the news that came out at that time, the fires in Shanghai high building, Tai Zhong night club, in Beijing, in WuGu, the explosion in Chengdao factory and Yun Nan, the natural disaster in Japan, this test has only become a trivial matter. However, at that time it was everything in mine and her life. I looked and listened to the recordings, thinking back to those 90 days, writing this book is just like walking yet another round in the burning hell.
It has been a long time since I last wrote such a long essay. Last time I wrote so sincerely was for my master thesis but that was strictly text about laws. It was serious and cold. There weren't any blood or tears. Honestly, I don't think I have written any sentimental text. To be more clear, no matter if it comes to family love, friendship or relationships, I am actually not someone who have a lot of feelings and love. So what my text can convey is only based on the truth. It is not those formal words, it is thoughts expressed by someone who doesn't have much feelings. I have tried my best to not make this book become a weird creation, where a sentimental topic is written in a rational way.
This book is perhaps one of the many ways, which I can make the test even more meaningful. I want to dedicate this book to Selina's close ones, including Ren Ba, Ren Ma, Hebe, Ella and the people in H.I.M. Of course to myself too. We have all passed the unprepared test. At least to me, since it can't be forgotten, to face and talk about the test honestly and openly, is the real and effective way to heal the injuries. I want to give this book to S.H.E fans and everyone who has been giving concerns to Selina. Thank you! I think you have a lot of imaginations and questions about this magical journey of 90 days. I want to give this to the media, that has shown the most true thoughts from my point of view, reporting the most sincere gratitude and reporting things that are closest to the truth. I want to give this to the professionals from both shores (Taiwan and China), who have been intertwined in this matter. This story may be unprecedented, incidents of similar kind may not end but I hope this would be worth to consider and refer to. I want to dedicate this to injured patients, who have suffered from burns before, including Hao Ming. I'm taking this opportunity to pay my respect to you. You are actually very brave and have suffered a lot. You deserve to get more concern and support from the society.
I want to give this book to people who have been through urgent and life-threatening events or people who have encountered difficulties. Trust me, by reading this book you will be able to face everything with even more courage, calmness and optimism.
At last, I want to give this book to Selina. You have been through a lot. God has especially chosen you, because everyone knows you. We all know you are timid, loves to look beautiful, loves to cry, are afraid of pain and also optimistic.
God has let you get startled because he wants to force you to show [braveness]. He took away part of your looks to let you show that [inner beauty can surpass any defect in looks]. He knows you will keep crying and wants you to show that [after crying you will have to wipe away your tears and continue to work hard] and also let you show that [one can be able to endure physical pain and malaise] and also [you will have to face life optimistically, it doesn't matter whether there is any logic to it or not].
The result would be the best if God chose you as role-model. What Ella said is true, you are our nation's girl. You have had it tough.

REPLIES~
Selina:
每個夜晚當我因痛癢失眠時，阿中就在隔壁邊陪我邊回憶邊寫書！住院九十天我是親自走一回，他為了這本書，從頭到尾不知道走了幾回！常常是邊寫邊哭的！辛苦你了！
Every night when I can't sleep due to pain and itchiness, Richard would accompany me in the next room, thinking back and writing the book! I have personally gone through those 90 days once but for this book I don't know how many times he has gone through them! He would always cry while writing it! It has been tough for you!

I don't know with other people but for me, I trust and believe in Richard :)
I believe he's not doing this for publicities or profits. I believe he's using his earnest sincerity to give inspiration to others. I believe in Richard. He's such a loving man. No one is ever better with Selina than him :)
