Little Sister is the second child of Father’s second marriage, the youngest of Niang’s biological children, and youngest of all the children in the household. For much of the memoir, Little Sister is only a baby. Although Niang viciously beats her when she is a toddler, Little Sister otherwise seems to settle into her position as one of the privileged children, as she takes on Fourth Brother’s haughtiness. However, when Fourth Brother tries to hurt Ye Ye with the encyclopedias, she chastises him for his cruelty, indicating that she bears at least some level of empathy and respect for her grandfather.
