First appearance: kai lung s golden hours
As a supporting figure in Kai Lung’s Golden Hours, Wu - yong is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Father of Weng Cho; an official with two wives, whose household conflict sets the story in motion.
Wu-yong appears in the narrative as one whose actions intersect with Kai Lung's journey and the various intrigues that surround it. He is not a figure of grand pronouncements but of consequential presence, his role felt in the turns that events take rather than in speeches. He matters to the early-middle arc because the story's momentum depends on such figures, whose choices quietly redirect the path of the wandering storyteller.
