Not surprisingly, Cheng is a little flat when the transoceanic dawn interview turns to the subject of her new book. She describes herself as spontaneous and easygoing, and says that she doesn't have a lot of thoughts to offer about her 20th book. She adds, "My publisher was very parental about it. It was like they sat me down to do my homework, and I wrote it."
果然，記者和鄭華娟進行清晨時分的越洋專訪時，聊起新書她還顯得不太帶勁，聲稱自己是很隨性的人，「對第 20 本書沒有太多想像啊」，「出版社像抓小孩做功課一樣，我就寫了」。
