Yang Lifen's elder brother and Zhang Hongmei's son, an active-duty soldier aged twenty-two. He is described as straight and tall with a military uniform. He has had feelings for Song Yun since first meeting her three years ago and was thrilled when he learned she broke off her engagement. He insisted on escorting his sister to the village, partly to be near Song Yun. Song Yun advised him to claim he is already married with a child to prevent any romantic schemes from others after he accidentally saved a female educated youth from falling into water.
