Captain of the Gouzi Brigade, nicknamed Ma the Rat due to his sharp-featured rat-like face. He is in his fifties, lean and wiry with a straight back and nimble legs. He personally came in the middle of the night to fetch the Fu Family. He is shrewd but honorable, warned them about the scheming commune official Wang Youwei, and showed kindness to Pang Fu by giving her hard-boiled egg and dried meat from his pocket. His elder sister-in-law is Aunt Hao.
