Xiao Ling'er's mentally challenged mother. She is described as frail, with a waxy yellow face, sunken eyes, cracked and bleeding lips, and a body thin as a candle flickering in the wind. Her hair is tangled and her clothes are thin and ragged. She is dazed and confused, constantly gripping Xiao Ling'er's clothes. Despite her condition, she shows concern for her daughter and instinctively praises her when she fights back against attackers.
