Popo

Wu Tsing
was a wealthy Chinese merchant who took An-meiâs mother as his third concubine, or âFourth Wife.â He was easily manipulated by Second Wife and was, at root, a coward. When An-meiâs mother commits suicide, he fears the vengeance of her ghost and thus promises to raise An-mei in wealth and status.
Second Wife
was Wu Tsingâs first concubine. She entirely dominates the household in Tientsin, providing an example of extreme female power in a patriarchal society. Yet hers is a cruel power: she is deceptive and manipulative. She banks on her husbandâs fear of ghosts by faking suicides so that he will give her what she wants, and she trapped An-meiâs mother into marrying Wu Tsing so as to fulfill his wish for heirs without losing her authority. At first, Second Wife manipulates An-mei into liking her by giving her a pearl necklace, but An-meiâs mother shows An-mei the deceptiveness of appearances by shattering one of the âpearlsâ with her foot in order to prove that it is actually glass.
