Tang Zhong is Tang Mingze's grandfather and an elderly man with graying hair and a frail frame. He was sent away to the countryside, which seriously damaged his health over the years. He lives in a cramped thatched hut with minimal furniture. For the first few years, Yan Sisi's family dared not publicly acknowledge him and could only sneak up at night to bring food. The villagers assume her family is close to him because he saved Father Yan, but they do not know their true relationship. He is worried that his body cannot last much longer and his only hope is that his grandson can leave this place safely after he passes.
