Sixty-year-old Yi Zhongtian, also called the "Super Man of
Scholars," became popular from CCTV's program "Lecture Room" for
his unique way of retelling history. "Hanxin is a unemployed
man,""Nuo means ok nowadays,"and "The court conducted an
investigation on King of Wu, but no nuclear weapons were found at
all" are among his most popular sayings.
In Yi Gongcheng's eyes, his older brother by seven years was a
very diligent student and was good at telling stories even at a
very young age.
Yi Zhongtian's fans range from six-year-old children to aged
elderly men.
Some Internet users say they want to marry Yi Zhongtian:
learned, capable, soft, big-hearted and also hen-pecked by his
wife, a rare good man these days. As for the sentiment, Yi
Zhongtian smiled, saying, "They mean to marry a man like me.
Otherwise, how many times would I be sentenced for bigamy?"
