She is Zhang Liang's mother, who raised two sons alone after her husband died early. She has always treated her son like the most precious thing in the world. During the incident, when Zhao Panpan demanded that Snowball be brought to the hospital, Zhou Xiangping snapped and went to retrieve the dog herself. She returned carrying a black plastic bag, her face dark, and tore it open to reveal Snowball's stiff and cold body - the dog had died from its injuries. When Zhao Panpan slapped Zhang Liang, Zhou Xiangping exploded and slapped Zhao Panpan hard, sending her staggering back. She continued beating Zhao Panpan even after she lost consciousness, calling her a shameless woman and a little slut. When the police arrived, she immediately shrank back behind her son like a frightened quail.
