The director of an old‑fashioned garment factory on the verge of bankruptcy. He has a backlog of old‑style cotton cloth and patterned fabric that is unfashionable to modern eyes but highly desirable in the 1960s. Relieved to unload the inventory, he sells Su Nuannuan all of it along with two sewing machines for only five thousand yuan. He represents a key source of inexpensive, era‑appropriate textiles.
