Starting identity: An ordinary member of a rural production team, constantly criticized and given the smallest grain rations because of his family's class background.
Low point: Early spring in the famine year of 1980. The family has run out of food, his younger sister is on the brink of starvation, and he nearly gets mauled by a wild wolf while hunting in the mountains. The whole village is waiting to laugh at him.
Social status: One of the lowest classes, a child of the despised "Black Five Categories," someone anyone can bully.
