Background / History
Li Hua's unattainable first love was a quiet, fair-skinned girl from middle school. His graduation autograph-book entries list movies and music as his hobbies, with a particular enthusiasm for Jay Chou 32.
By Jiang Nian's arrival in Olympiad Class Three, Li Hua has an established circle of friends both inside and outside the class. As Jiang Nian's deskmate, he quickly becomes part of the newcomer's everyday conversations and classroom antics 25 36.
Appearance
- Looks: Described as ordinary-looking, with dark skin 25.
- Temporary eye condition: Keeps one eye narrowed and jokingly calls it his “Demon Eye”; Ma Guojun identifies it as a stye 42.
Personality
Li Hua combines good grades with an unremarkable appearance and goofy behavior. Although initially described as having “factory default settings,” he is later shown to be popular and socially confident; Jiang Nian observes that he could strike up a conversation with a stray dog 25 32 36.
He readily joins crude jokes and mock arguments, but also shows loyalty. When Liu Liangsong confronts the noisy students, Li Hua stops Jiang Nian from standing, stands himself, and does not implicate Jiang Nian or Zhang Ningzhi. He subsequently treats the office visit and complimentary drinks as a profitable exchange 32 33.
His confidence falters around romance. He privately envies Zhang Ningzhi's attention to Jiang Nian and becomes flustered when Jiang Nian identifies his secret crush on Li Qingrong 35 36 50.
