Xu Yao's younger cousin, five years her junior. She is educated, having been admitted to the county's best high school with excellent grades, and is expected to become Xiahe Village's first college student. She wears a crisp Dacron blouse and carries a shoulder bag. She is manipulative and has been fanning the flames behind the original Xu Yao's miserable choices, including the scheme to sell her child. She pretends to help Xu Yao but is actually self-serving.
