The head of the Cui family, a man in his fifties who is slightly overweight with more than half his hair gone white. He runs Haixia Supermarket and serves as an information hub in the village. He is described as clever and smooth-talking, able to curry favor with both police and villagers. He drove a silver-gray van with his wife and initially tried to downplay the Cui family's youngest son's reputation, calling him merely spoiled rather than a bully.
