Male protagonist. A regimental commander, tall and lean with sharp features, deep-set eyes, a straight nose, defined jawline, and healthy bronze skin from the sun. Rural-born, kind, patient, domestic, and reluctant to scold his wife. He made a promise to someone to take care of Luo Yaqing for life and has never considered divorcing her despite six months of abuse. He cooks, chops kindling, manages household chores, and brings her refined grains from the army. He gives Luo Yaqing six yuan and fifty cents plus ration tickets for household expenses. He is straightforward and not very romantic but deeply caring.
