- Shu Ping was given this name because I liked it. There is no depth to naming this character. I did, however, name her after a classmate in Junior College (JC) because I remember that the Shu Ping I know in real life was kind to me. I hope she doesn’t mind that I stole her name because it’s a fairly common one.
- Shu Ping’s surname was also chosen randomly, because Huang is a fairly common surname. To be honest, I put her name together because it sounded nice.
- She’s about half a head taller than Xin Long, and is the tallest of everyone in the trio (Xin Long, Shu Ping and Four Eyes).
- This young lady comes from a single parent family, and she’s a pretty happy girl. Her mum makes an effort to raise her right. At least, I hope so anyway.
- Shu Ping’s mother told her stories as a child in a matter-of-fact way, so even if you told her that a god could transform into the sun, she’d think it was possible.
- This kick-ass girl’s ambition to become an Wushu master. It helps that she is naturally gifted at it
- Shu Ping is a lot better than Xin Long at Wushu because she’s more patient, but this isn’t shown in the book.
- She’s also positive, pretty optimistic and always ready to lend a listening ear. This comes naturally to her.
- More than anything, Shu Ping wants to know who her Dad is.
- She’d feel pretty lost if it weren’t for Xin Long, and likes that Xin Long feels the same way. That’s why they are best friends.
