An elderly man with graying hair but sharp, vigorous eyes. He is Lu Ye's old superior who watched Lu Ye rise from an ordinary soldier step by step. He sits in a rattan chair holding a chipped enamel mug in a warmly heated room filled with cheap tobacco smell. He initially scolded Lu Ye about the anonymous report but ultimately supported him, saying the organization would back him. He warned Lu Ye that his wife's operation had grown too big and she needed to show her intentions to the country.
