Su Xiaomei is a legendary figure said to be the younger sister of Su Shi. In the story, her name is mentioned in the context of a made‑up story about teasing Su Shi’s long face: “a single tear of lovesickness yesterday, which only flowed to his cheeks today.” This reference appears when Wu Ming searches for information about Su Shi online. She is not a direct participant but adds folklore and humour to the portrayal of the historical Su Shi. The anecdote reflects the popular image of Su Dongpo.
