Guangyao is the son of a soldier in the military compound. He is a naughty child who was competing with other children, including Tuanzi, about their fathers' abilities. When he could not match Tuanzi's claims about his father being handsome and able to lift stones and help cook, he angrily blurted out My dad eats shit! Does your dad eat shit? As soon as he said it, he realized something was wrong and turned around to find his father standing behind him. His father was so angry that he felt dizzy and spanked him hard on the buttocks, calling him a little bastard. Guangyao cried while being beaten and tried to explain that he just spoke too quickly. His father was proud of him for having clear ideas but was furious about the inappropriate comment.
