Convicted murderer Nai Yin Xue is continuing to protest his innocence of killing his wife An An Liu even from behind bars.
He plans to publish a book on "the truth", and was using his spare time to develop new martial arts moves and improve his English, reported the New Zealand Chinese Herald.
"The day will come when people will know that I am innocent," Xue said in an interview in Mandarin with Chinese Herald reporter Conney Zhang.
We'd always suspected that Xue was a bit of a loose unit, but this story confirms it - check this bit out:
But the self-proclaimed kung fu master says he is making the most of his time in prison.">"Prison is the best place to focus on my martial arts, and I am also taking the opportunity to develop new moves," he said.
"It is also good that I am sharing my nine square metre cell with a foreigner [non-Chinese person], because it forces me to speak English, which has improved considerably since I entered prison."
Xue was not a good writer, but was determined to write a book "so people can know the truth".
A former Chinese newspaper publisher in Auckland, Xue has produced two books: Inner Strength Kung fu shocks US in 2002, and The Pearl of Wu-style Taiji in 1998 - where he described himself as a "gift from the gods", a product of a miracle birth and a man destined to be the great grandmaster of Chinese martial arts.
Xue said he had "plenty of free time" in prison, where he would play cards or pool with other Chinese inmates in the common room.
"Once I've been able to accept the fact that I'm in prison, it's just like another 9-to-5 job," he said.
Xue remains in denial about the murder of his wife. He said he learned about An An's death from newspaper reports more than a week after the murder, when he was in America.
"I was shocked, upset and worried, and didn't want to go home. I just travelled and wandered aimlessly in the city," Xue said.
"I landed in the bar and drank a lot, and ended up spending the night on a bench in the park."
He said he still had "good dreams" about happier times with An An, and that in his mind, she was "still alive".
Sheesh - This is one seriously deluded man. If Xue didn't find out about his wife's death for a week, then why did he fly to Australia with his daughter, abandon her in a train station, and then fly to the USA? We're hardly Einstein, but this fella's account belies belief.
In the meantime, we are sure that the Legal Services Agency will have taken a keen interest in today's story; hopefully they'll be able to draw from any proceeds from Xue's literary venture to offset the many thousands of dollars that you and we, as taxpayers, have shelled pout for his defence.
In the meantime, if Xue wants a "non-foreign" cellmate, might we suggest Shane Randle. We're sure they'd get on just fine!

For some reason we seem to have had more than our fair share of completely derailed nutters in the box this year.
That nonce from Otago University; he of the intolerably high IQ, really takes the cake.
I agree LB, but we're not allowed to say anything about the chap from Otago in case the jury is blogging during meal breaks - the Solicitor-General said so.
Oh that’s right.
Although why we would be able to sway the minds of jurors when they are in the presence of such a self-confessed genius on a daily basis eludes me.
Indeed LB - but returning to Xue, did you like my choice of cell-mate for him?
Yes, I’d forgotten about him.
So perhaps this year is no worse than any other year.
I'd say Xue would be right up there in terms of the self-delusional - "he described himself as a "gift from the gods", a product of a miracle birth and a man destined to be the great grandmaster of Chinese martial arts" - flippin heck - thank goodness that the jury saw him for what he really was - a cold-blooded murderer.
