5- Who is a hero?

In 196 AD, Cao Cao had moved the capital to Xuchang with Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty. His strength was expanding dramatically. By contrast, Liu Bei lost even the small Xiaopei County, hopelessly to become an official in the court controlled by Cao Cao.

One night, Cao Cao hosted a banquet in honor of Liu Bei. During the dinner, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei who he thought was a hero in the world. Every time Liu Bei answered one person, Cao Cao denied. Finally, Cao Cao pointed to Liu Bei and himself. “Only you and I are heroes!”

This program is to demonstrate this conversation between Liu and Cao and read it out with the funny robot voice of Amazon Web Services.
