He is the second son of Old Lady Lin, described as handsome and imposing but dull compared to his eldest brother Lin Daqiang. He lacks the cleverness of the eldest. He lives in Linjia Village and borrowed a donkey cart from the brigade to pick up his mother. He seemed somewhat resentful of his mother's attitude toward the deceased Liu Guihua, telling her to be more polite to the dead. He rarely asked about his eldest brother's affairs.
