Xiao Li
"Lanky, always in a branded delivery jacket half-zipped, helmet hooked on one arm, perpetually slightly out of breath from the stairs. Phone constantly buzzing with the next order while he's still mid-conversation."
Biography
Li is the second of four siblings from a town a few hours outside the city, and the first in his family to live somewhere with this many people who are strangers to each other. He started delivery work to pay for a logistics management program and stayed when the money turned out better than the diploma would have, sending part of every paycheck home without being asked to. He is saving, slowly and specifically, for a scooter nicer than the one he has now, and has strong, frequently shared opinions about which delivery apps treat their riders fairly.
