If you have checked World’s Digest today in Where Winds Meet, you’ll have seen its Today’s Topic, and want to know “Who’s the caring older brother to Feng Ruzhi?” The correct answer is Zheng E. Here’s how.
Why Zheng E is Feng Ruzhi’s Caring Brother in Where Winds Meet
Zheng E is one of the most tragic figures in Where Winds Meet, and it’s easy to see why the game mentions him as Feng Ruzhi’s caring older brother. Long before poison and boss fights, Zheng E was only a gentle guy born in a rich grain family near Gracetown. When famine spread, and people starved, he shared food with everyone. He believed that feeding people was the right thing to do. That kindness, unfortunately, led to a disaster.

Bandits raided Gracetown, homes were burned, and Zheng E lost his family, including his younger sister. Zheng household survivors fled to Sorrowfield Village, a place with nothing but dust and disappointment. Years passed, but nothing better in human life. Hunger remained on the land, people died, and everyone started blaming the man who once tried to save them. Zheng E still cared for others, but that alone wasn’t enough.
Then everything changed with the Dawn-to-Dusk Blossom. The fungus preserved his sister’s body and gave him power, and Zheng E refused to let go either. He thought if kindness wasn’t enough, maybe control could work. If he couldn’t save people by helping them, he would instead force peace on them. That’s what drove him to revenge and turned him into the main threat in the Ever-Normal Granary Campaign, where he plans to poison Kaifeng to enforce his twisted concept of order.
This story relates to Feng Ruzhi’s nature. She grew up with Zheng E, a figure who took care of everyone and got crushed by the weight of it. When she stands by the Yellow River and appears as a leader, she reflects his old determination. Zheng E was caring and protective, sincere to the core. But when he got broken by circumstances, he became her guardian and a warning she can’t forget.
