Ma Hengyuan stood behind the rostrum and nodded in acknowledgment.
Zhang Ye continued to introduce the other guests before going back to his seat beside the guest’s sofa. This was the position for the host.
Ma Hengyuan was not overwhelmed by the stage. He had seen bigger occasions, like being on Central TV, “Good day, viewers and guests. I am Ma Hengyuan.

He spoke for about five minutes.
Ma Hengyuan said, “Speaking about the Three Kingdoms, who do you like?”
The guest, Editor Xu chuckled, “Of course, it’s Zhuge Liang.”
Another host, the university teacher, Teacher Xu said, “I also like Zhuge Liang. Borrowing arrows with straw boats and the empty fort strategy are both amazing military strategies. It has left a legacy for us to learn from.”
Zhang Ye laughed, “I like Zhou Yu.”
