Lin Xiangyi's father and Chen Fengmei's former husband. He is a hardworking man who has been frowning lately due to conflicts with his daughter Lin Xiangyi. After Lin Xiangyi threatened to cut ties unless he chose between her and Chen Fengmei's unborn child, Lin Shan's enthusiasm for the child diminished. He works at a meat processing factory and has been working overtime and going on business trips. He discovered that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi opened a workshop without consulting him, which made him very angry. Later, in a fit of rage at a village gathering, he publicly announced his divorce from Chen Fengmei, accusing her of cheating on him with a bastard. He slapped Lin Huihui twice and punched Lu Dingyuan, accusing them of bullying Lin Xiangyi and drugging her. He is described as having a manner more like a street thug than a respectable man during his outburst.
