Father of Zhou Lifang and the appointee who was about to become the village party secretary of Ganye Village. He is described as surnamed Zhou in a village where more than half the population shares the surname Chu. He worked hard to be elected and was reviewing his appointment documents when the commotion erupted. He was furious and regretful that his daughter caused trouble, wishing he had broken her legs before leaving home. He quickly put on a worried expression to placate the villagers and avoid losing his political position. He hurried off to get money for medical expenses without bothering with Zhou Lifang.
