Governor of Henan

Also known as Tang's father.

He complains to Master Sanzang of the many pillages by brigands over the past two days the incident at the Shaolin Temple happened and later introduces Tang, his son, to him.

When Master Sanzang invites Tang to train at Shaolin, he encourages the uneager lad by reasoning that their family line has had generals, judges, governors, even a prime minister, but never a monk, a knight of Shaolin. He further inspired him that it would be an honor if Tang would be the first one. He also gives him the sword that belonged to his ancestors to further incite him.
