Meng Wenzhou's older sister. She married Song Qingshan, her middle school classmate, against her husband's family's wishes. The Song family, who were townspeople with state jobs, initially refused the marriage and told the Meng family to stay away. They found Meng Caihong a job as a temporary laborer in the county town. The Meng family essentially disowned her after the wedding day, and she has not been in contact since. Only five of the Meng family's five children were sent to school, which was considered unusual for village daughters.
