Song Nanting's arranged fiancé who ran off before their wedding ceremony. He was selected as one of the first generation of worker-peasant-soldier college students, which boosted his ambitions. He met and married the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital after graduating, becoming a cadre. He and his mother and sister conspired to keep Song Nanting working in the Pan household as a servant so he would not have to worry about his mother's care or burden his new bride. He was described as good-looking, gentle, and somewhat considerate before his betrayal.
