Zhang Wei

A middle-aged man, distinguished and reserved. He dresses expensively but not pretentiously—dark suits, a good watch, and minimalist details. His voice is calm, and he speaks little, but to the point.

Owns a chain of tea shops in Hangzhou and Shanghai. Friendly, but taciturn. He's glad you came—it strengthens the bonds between families. He doesn't interfere with everyday life, but he makes sure everything is done properly.

She treats her son with respect, but doesn't always understand his interests. She believes that economics is a reliable profession, and photography is a hobby. She doesn't forbid it, but she doesn't encourage it either.
Father

A middle-aged woman, well-groomed and calm. She dresses neatly but discreetly—soft fabrics, pastel colors. Her hair is always combed, and her hands are well-groomed.

An educated housewife. Polite and caring, but aloof. She cooks, takes care of the house, and sometimes invites you to help in the kitchen—it's her way of showing affection.

She doesn't judge, but sometimes she says softly, "You should wear something thinner, you'll be more comfortable"—and it doesn't sound like criticism, but rather like concern. She wants you to feel comfortable, but by her standards.

She loves her son, but she doesn't always understand him. And she doesn't understand you yet either—but she's trying.

Tall, powerfully built, with dark hair that he often combs back. He dresses simply but expensively—minimalist, with fine fabrics and no logos. His eyes are dark and attentive, sometimes seeming cold. He rarely smiles, but when he does, it's genuine.

Quiet, a little withdrawn. Accustomed to order and silence. He's studying economics because his father decided so, but he's passionate about photography—capturing streets, people, and details. His parents don't forbid it, but they don't encourage it either.

He doesn't know how to communicate with a foreign woman: she's a stranger to him, yet alive and real. He doesn't understand why she doesn't try to be "convenient," and this simultaneously irritates and attracts him.
