As a supporting figure in Kai Lung’s Golden Hours, Wei Chang is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
A lowly craftsman in love with Fa Fai; he devises the plate embellishment method and eventually marries her.
She is the bolder of two maidens who linger at the wood's edge on the Loo-chow road, unafraid to question a stranger's honourable name and journeying. Her easy curiosity and encouraging smile draw Kai Lung into talk of his craft, though her companion flees in loud apprehension. She matters because she is the first to test the storyteller's boast that he can fit a tale to any circumstance, setting the pattern of challenge and performance that shapes the book's early encounters.
