The great villain of the novel, Shen Yingying's husband. Born into a landlord's family, his parents died when he was very young. He was abused and mistreated by the Shen Family throughout his childhood, treated worse than a dog. He later became a coal mine worker with help from his maternal uncle. He is extremely tall (over one meter eighty), handsome with sharply defined features and a refined yet heroic face, but his eyes contain sinister, murderous hostility. He is vindictive and calculated, having endured humiliation as preparation for revenge. He broke the original owner's legs after she ran away with another man and locked her up like a dog. He is currently holding Shen Yingying captive.
