Woman who runs the Tea Shack

The woman who runs the Tea Shack is Neal Brose's maid's great-grandmother. When she was a young girl, she was raped by the son of a local warlord which resulted in the birth of a daughter. To avoid the scandal, her father forced her to give the daughter to relatives to be raised.

This woman spent her entire life running the Tea Shack. From the Japanese occupation, to the rise of communism, to the Cultural Revolution, this woman maintained the Tea Shack.

She often consulted the wisdom of a tree outside the Tea Shack and she felt that the tree indeed spoke to her and was knowledgeable about a great many things. However, unbeknownst to her, the voice that she attributed to the tree was really the Mongolian noncorpum who was using her as a host. The tree told her that she would someday see her daughter again and while that did not happen, she did receive a visit just before her death from her niece and her great-granddaughter.
