Chu Liuxiang
Although his age is not mentioned in any of the novels, Chu Liuxiang is probably around 30 years old when the events of the novels take place. In "Biānfú Chuánqí", his childhood friend, Hú Tiěhuā (), is 33 years old. Chu Liuxiang is presumably around the same age as Hu Tiehua since they grew up together.
