Shao Lin
The novel first introduces Ye Wenxue as a passionate, nameless, young member of the communist Red Guard. Only later is it revealed that she is also Ye Wenjie’s little sister and Ye Zhetai and Shao Lin’s younger daughter. Ye Wenxue’s decision to put ideological loyalty over loyalty to her family—even going so far as to inform on her father—represents one of the great betrayals of Ye Wenjie’s life. At the age of 15, Ye Wenxue is killed in a skirmish between various young communist revolutionaries.
