The eldest son of Song Shumin and Guo Xiaolan, and older brother of Song Weiyang. He is described as muscular with a shirtless torso shining. He loved fighting and troublemaking in his youth, which led him to join the army right after junior high. After three years of service, he earned two third-class merits and one collective second-class merit. He chose to retire rather than be promoted, saying he could not stand the restrictions of military life. He is carefree in attitude, trying to reassure his mother and younger brother that they can start over when their father gets out in three to five years. He carries a Bayi military dagger at his waist. He manages the family's failing canned food factory, which Song Shumin had given him before his imprisonment. He is confronted by over a hundred debt collectors outside the courthouse.
