Absolutely fine in all regards, and an interesting hook, though I'd advise cutting out the second Li brother just for length issues (and because it's not as interesting as the other two). Kingsif (talk) 02:21, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Thanks for your review. I'd prefer to keep the second brother, but am fine with removing him from hook if the length limit is exceeded. -Zanhe (talk) 05:18, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

@Zanhe: The hook is currently 210 characters long, which is too long - explicitly by 10 characters, but "shorter is better". Kingsif (talk) 10:44, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

@Kingsif: The word "(pictured)" does not figure in the character count. The hook is currently 195 characters, which is fine. Yoninah (talk) 19:08, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
