Six-year-old boy, son of Xia Zhu and Li. He is the best-looking child in the Xia family, fair-skinned and delicate, resembling his aunt Xia Lanniang. He is exceptionally clean and intelligent, not like a butcher's son. He frequently sneaks food to his aunt's house because he dislikes eating at his grandmother's frugal home. He will be sent to private school at age seven.
