# Wong Ts’in — Kai Lung’s Golden Hours character guide

> Wong Ts’in in Kai Lung’s Golden Hours by Ernest Bramah.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0004-the-story-of-wong-ts-in-and-the-willow-plate-embellishment

## Snapshot

A man whose fate is bound up with a willow-pattern plate, and whose story turns on the embellishments that plate is said to bear.

## Who they are

Wong Ts'in stands at the center of a tale in which a willow plate and its decorations carry meaning beyond mere ornament. What is depicted there — and what is left unsaid — shapes the course of his fortunes. His story exemplifies the book's method: small domestic objects become vessels for larger dramas of desire, deception, and consequence.
