Today's famous trader from history is somebody named King, I'm saying this wrong, King Hui from 1090 to 1155.

It's because in my head, I transcribe it all in visual so I can see him perfectly.

But my pronunciation isn't always the best.

But I paint with words, Ryder.

Qin Hui was a minister with the Song Dynasty in 12th century China.

And at the time, I don't know if you're aware of this, Ryder, but the Jurchen tribes occupying the northern territories of China, they captured the Song Emperor.

And when the Song General Yu Fei tried to reconquer the territory and reinstall the emperor to the throne, Qin Hui stopped him and had him executed.

And for this...

Qin Hui is still regarded as a traitor in China to the point where in the region where Fei is buried, there are statues of Qin and his wife bound and on their knees where people can express their displeasure at his treasonous ways.

So, yeah, not sure if you're aware of that, but.

Yeah, exactly.

Let's just say in my head, not on a computer machine, I'm looking at the statue and it's not a good statue.

It's not.

In my memory, let's just say it is a man and woman on their knees bound with their heads down, surrounded by spikes.

And people apparently walk by and spit on it and have their displeasure.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, not a good statue to have.

I'll take, you know, plays of squirrels or a feeny call or something like that for my statue from a thousand years ago.
