Taiwan singer and actress Rene Liu appeared in the Beijing Spring Book Show on Sunday with her new book I Want to Go with You. 

Rene Liu is a singer and actress who also spends almost one third of her time writing, earning her recognition as an "intellectual beauty". When answering questions at the press conference for her new book, Rene Liu spoke like a poet and literarily moved the audience. "I've never imagined myself as a star, and in the book I didn't talk about a life of gaiety, nor teach how to do make up, cooking, lose weight or wear clothes. In my opinion, characters should be respected and I consider each a literary work to create."

I Want to Go with You is Rene Liu's third publication. In this book, she tells elements of her past love stories and this drew much interest from readers. When talking about her views on love, Rene Liu said the most romantic love was that which would happen but hadn't happened while the most painful love was that which shouldn't end but had already finished.

Rene Liu's two previously issued books, Fall in Love Downstairs and One Person's KTV.

After the show, Rene Liu revealed that after busy last year of concerts and new albums, she would now be focusing on movies and TV plays. Her new TV drama will start shooting on Tuesday, and she will also star in a thriller film A Ghost in the Heart, co-starring Hong Kong actor Leon Lai.
