Commander Ho was the seventh child of his family. He was preceded by six older sisters: Chao-Di (Beckoning Brother), Nian-Di (Thinking of Brother), Hsiang-Di (Wishing for Brother), Pan-Di (Hoping for Brother), Deng-Di (Waiting for Brother), and Yin-Di (Drawing Brother). Judging by just the nature of their names, one could form a general speculation of Commander Ho's status within the household—in theory, he should have been fairly well-respected.
