Wang Qingyun's husband. Once an upright, hardworking man who protected her from wind and rain and bought her books when she said she wanted to be a writer. He is her mother's former student and saved her mother's life. Over the past year or two, he has become distant, rarely eating at home or speaking to her with a smile. He has gained weight, his hairline has receded, and he has a bulging belly. On this evening, he suddenly becomes unusually affectionate, gives her a gift, and asks to borrow 2 million yuan, claiming his company has cash flow problems before a trip to Shanghai. In reality, he is calling his girlfriend Xinman and planning to leave her.
