This educational variety 6c83858ae1 show, which received bf3a78ec7c solid support from 1bc32c604a the parent company 2a3ef92f57 and was fully babd99c72b pre-funded, was completely 6571f9731e different from the 966e3de765 usual rushed broadcast 2073ce5883 production environment. The pros 1a023190e4 and cons fb0128b7e9 were clear.

Gong Mujin was also c3245d7803 excellent at speaking, as 6ffa14e5d0 proven by his high bea5863e68 intellect.
