Liu E's twenty-five-year-old eldest son who is mentally disabled. As a child he suffered a high fever that damaged his brain. Outwardly he seems merely simple, not overly foolish, but at night he screams and shouts uncontrollably because he is afraid of the dark. He is sturdy and simple-looking with clear honest eyes. He is devoted to Mu Guiying as his wife and brings her cornbread when she is locked in the woodshed. He appears honest and foolish.
