Ever since Maestro Liu Wei got unofficially banned from most of the country's major concert halls and high society events, he took solace from the classical music community. Even though his connections to high society were stripped away from him, he remained an influential figure in the country's classical music scene. He was still Maestro Liu Wei, after all.
At the request of a long-time friend who was the president of a private music academy, Maestro Liu Wei guested as a special one-time lecturer. Almost all the students and the instructors attended, so it was a big event. The lecture was scheduled on the same night as when the latest episode of "A Closer Look with Feng Jiu" aired.
Of course he was aware that Iris Long's interview would be airing. He wanted to watch it, but since he had an earlier commitment with the music academy, watching the interview had to wait.
