Gong Changan is the young son of Wen Mingqian and Gong Xu, about seven or eight years old. He is well‑behaved, intelligent, and not shy in front of many guests. When he arrives at the mansion, he greets everyone politely, saying, "This child greets all the Madams, Ladies, and young ladies. Today's grand banquet is as beautiful as blooming flowers." His words delight the guests. He has a straightforward and fearless attitude, as when he says, "We are barefoot; there is no reason to fear those who wear shoes." He is deeply attached to his mother and often has dreams of his deceased maid A Hui, who used to serve them in Shuangxi. His appearance is described as truly well‑behaved and lovable, despite his plain clothes.
