OK, understand.

But I have an idea ;) It seems that the Fengguang's robot is more
clever than me. Let me change the subject and add s-o-b to seduce
it to test this change.

Once again, I agree, lets forget this change for now. But if I missed
something and we can't do this, perhaps the robot will explain why.
