The male lead of the novel A Galaxy of Ten Thousand Miles. He has the campus belle Lin Qian as his on-and-off ex-girlfriend.

Lin Qian was the one who repeatedly invited Jiang Mian to join them and even chose the same elective courses for her under the guise of friendship. Xu Xingming and Lin Qian together took up nearly three quarters of the novel's plot.
