Also known as Guan the carpenter, he is the father of Guan Li and Guan Xiao-Shan. He is described as always steady but was visibly moved when learning about the betrothal plans. He has been waiting for the Jiang family to propose since his daughter was fifteen. He is generous and loving toward his children, insisting on providing a full set of furniture for his daughter's dowry and making a cart as a gift. He believes equally in supporting both his son and daughter, wanting his daughter to have a good life after marriage.
