Ning Yang's wife, a short-haired woman with a fiery temper who says whatever is on her mind. She comes from a well-off family and was Ning Yang's high school classmate; they had been dating for a long time. She originally wanted to sleep in the living room as a child when she came over for homework. She and Ning Yang moved into a unit dormitory after marriage. She showed genuine care for Ning Qiao, worrying about her catching a chill from cold well water, and bought walnut cookies standing in line.
