Male, Zhao Manxue's father, head of a certain special department and the Confiscation Committee. He nationalized many of the Lin family's businesses including rice, flour, and oil factories, tie-dye textile plants, shops, department stores, and banks.

As a public official, he could not run businesses directly, so holdings were registered under relatives' names.
