Baby Uncle is the youngest of the Liu sons. He is LuLing’s father (though she grows up believing that Liu Jin Sen is her father) and was Precious Auntie’s fiancé. He falls in love with Precious Auntie when she heals an injury of his at the Bonesetter’s shop. He is a handsome, charming man who wins over Precious Auntie by writing her poetry. Baby Uncle and Precious Auntie have sex before the wedding, resulting in LuLing’s conception. However, Baby Uncle dies after Chang attacks their wedding party. When he dies, Precious Auntie sees it as evidence of her family’s curse. She is so distraught after Baby Uncle’s and the Bonesetter’s deaths that she attempts suicide by drinking boiling ink. Precious Auntie survives, but injuries she incurs from the incident leave her permanently scarred and mute.
