Male, deputy director of the personnel department at the county steel factory, a position he obtained through his uncle's influence. He has decent looks but a problematic character who has toyed with and harassed several young women in the past, using money and job arrangements to keep them silent. He is nearing thirty and was being pressured by his family to marry, which is why he agreed to the matchmaking with Huang Yali. He is arrogant and condescending toward villagers and educated youths. His greatest insecurity is that his position is attributed to his uncle rather than his own merits. When he discovers Nan Qiao is the daughter of Director Nan whom his uncle deeply respects, he becomes terrified and flees on his bicycle.
