"The Yen is quite strong. I can make more money working in Japan than in China."
―Yong telling Ryo why he plans to stay in Yokosuka long.

Yong Zhu Yan (Hànzì: 永著燕, Pinyin: Yǒng Zheyàn, On'yomi: Ei Choen) is a Chinese construction office worker living in Japan who trained under Liu Gong Hui, a tailor who was a member of the Three Blades.

Biography[]

Yong decided to come to Japan, persuaded by Wu Li Xian, a friend whom he honored like a brother. However, he made no progress at all because he wasn’t very good with his fingers and couldn’t save much money. He decided to work at a factory to make better pay. He still respects Liu Gong Hui, but it looks like he doesn’t have what it takes to be a tailor. His present wish is to save a lot of money and build a large house for his parents and siblings in China. Initially he assumed that it would take three years at most, but his plan was changed to five years as he spends a fair amount of money on drinking at Yokosuka Bar in Dobuita.
