his last name is mu which sounds like wood in Chinese, another way of saying wood is mu + tou with tou meaning head, so a literal translation is blockhead
It was Copper, who used to go around with Chen Mu on the street. But then he had been taken in by someone. His relationship with Chen Mu wasn't bad, and you could say that he was one of Chen Mu's few friends. The family circumstances of his adoptive father and mother were quite good at that time, and he would look after Chen Mu from time to time. But not long before, his adoptive father and mother had passed away, and he had no choice but to break off his studies and go back to a half-vagrant situation. Chen Mu was naturally dispassionate and taciturn, so substituting a different character "mu" (for wood), Copper called him 'Blockhead.'
