			Wang is a young guardian of section 9, known in the combat experiences as Yong: the best fighter of the [[Guardians\|Guardians]] and a celebrity, whose real name few know. Slender, somewhat short and slightly brown-skinned, of Asian cultural grade, he follows a personal code drawn from Bushido, Confucianism, The Art of War and parts of Western chivalry. He is a friend of [[Kurt\|Kurt]], who guided him to citizenship.

	== In Descent (2258) ==		== In Descent (2258) ==
	=== ~~In the book's words~~ ===		=== Background and personality ===
	* ''~~«But everyone knew better:~~ he was Yong, ~~the best fighter of the guardians~~ and ~~a celebrity in the combat experiences~~.~~»''{{Source\|Descent\|Part 1}}~~		Wang met Kurt in an uprooted version of "the Symbiont Invasion": when the guardians' leadership collapsed, Kurt gave the remaining guardians a place in his plan equal to anyone else's, and Wang never forgot it. Cycles later he introduced himself at a vigil, confessed that he was Yong, and asked for help to reach citizenship. He later gave citizenship up without ever saying why.
	* ''«Few knew that the slender and ~~somewhat short young man with slightly brown skin was~~ the ~~famous warrior Yong of~~ the ~~guardians~~.»'~~'{{Source\|Descent\|Part 1}}~~
	* ''«The engineer accepted and guided the ~~guardian through~~ the ~~process~~, ~~during which he discovered the boy~~'s ~~strange philosophy: from an Asian cultural grade, Wang was~~ a ~~fervent follower~~ of a ~~curious personal mishmash of ancient codes of conduct such as Bushido~~, ~~Confucianism, The Art of War.~~.~~.»''{{Source\|Descent\|Part 1}}~~		He exercises for real, which almost nobody does, and as Yong he is an honourable opponent: he lets a dedicated but weaker player win and humiliates the arrogant. In the vigils he plays as Wang, more interested in teaching than in winning. He is barely more than half Kurt's age.
	=== ~~Later in~~ the ~~book~~ ===		=== Aboard the ship ===
			As a Roman legionary in the last group experience before the vigil, Yong holds a gap in Hadrian's Wall alone against a band of engineers, Kseniya and Kurt among them. In the "Battle for Draconis" he flies a guardian fighter under the alias Shenlong, and afterwards congratulates the pilots who beat him.
			=== After the crash ===
	{{Spoiler\|Descent}}		{{Spoiler\|Descent}}
	* ''«He put a ~~conspicuous~~ red headband ~~on his forehead~~ and ~~began patrolling~~ the ~~center~~, ~~helping with people's~~ disputes ~~and problems~~.~~»''{{Source\|Descent\|Part 2}}~~		After the crash Wang works as a courier and porter until he stops a drunken fight and understands what he can do. He puts on a red headband and patrols the centre of the wreck, introducing himself as Yong so that his fame settles disputes. Young crew members, left adrift, gather around him; he teaches them martial arts, and within days they are [[Yong's followers\|Yong's followers]], who call him "Master" and dress like him. [[Zaya\|Zaya]] is his bodyguard.
	* ''«That day, ~~after the exercises~~, ~~Yong gave his first~~ martial arts ~~class.»~~''~~{{Source~~\|~~Descent\|Part 2}}~~
	* ''«Wang took a liking to ~~one of them, diamond-shaped~~, and ~~asked Kurt~~'~~s permission~~ to ~~keep it~~.~~»''~~{{~~Source~~\|Descent~~\|Part 3~~}}		He rescues Kurt from two guardians trying to rob him, and tells him that the guardians' department has ordered that no guardian may be sent to the tanks. He agrees to join the crystal expedition when Kurt tells him he is a candidate.
	* ''«Kurt then watched as Wang ~~took~~ a ~~defensive stance and seemed~~ to ~~calm down~~ as he ~~brought~~ his ~~left~~ hand to something on his chest~~: just an instant later~~, a wall of flame ~~erupted between~~ him and the ~~vaghadata~~, ~~causing~~ the ~~beast to retreat suddenly frightened~~.~~»''~~{{Source\|Descent\|Part 3}}		=== The expedition and the split ===
	* ''«Let them go.~~»''~~{{Source\|Descent\|Part 3}}		{{Spoiler\|Descent}}
	* ''«Let's anticipate that we are both wrong then.~~»''~~{{Source\|Descent\|Part 3}}		On the expedition Wang organises the watches and keeps a diamond-shaped crystal fragment. Back at the wreck he learns to release the absorbed energy as heat. During the attack of the [[The sunken\|The sunken]] he leads the defenders and, bringing his hand to something on his chest, raises a wall of flame that drives back a [[Vaghadata\|Vaghadata]].

			When Kurt's robot frees the convoys, Wang stands in its way to stop the killing. A blow from the robot leaves his left arm useless, but he slips under the machine until one of its joints burns out and it falls; then he beats Kurt with the sword and wounds his thigh, promising, with a doubt in his voice, that justice will be done. Kurt's lightning stuns him and Kurt nearly drowns him. Wang lets the rebels go. He stays with those who followed the guardians, warning that the survivors will be weaker apart, and the two friends shake hands for the last time.
