''Zonshen grandson and a true meat bun connoisseur. He dreams of one day becoming a meat bun critic who eats nothing but meat buns all day. Due to his voracious appetite, Chun has been growing by leaps and bounds... Well, horizontally, anyway.''

PS3/Xbox360
Growing up in Chun-Nan, Chun's gluttonous nature was satisfied by the local meat bun restaurant, with their famous meat buns becoming his favorite food. Whenever Chun needed to be treated, his grandfather Zonshen would treat Chun with his special medicine and secret treatments, though Chun found his grandfather's medicine disgusting and his physical treatments painful.

Shortly after the Earth was shattered during the events Sonic Unleashed, Chun learned that his grandfather went missing when he left to find the village's treasure, leaving Chun very worried about his grandfather's well-being and wondering where he went. When Sonic the Hedgehog and Chip later on arrived in Chun-Nan, Chun met the duo and told them about what had happen to his grandfather and explained that when he got this worried, he got all hungry, before beginning to wonder if there was anything to eat around there. Soon after, Sonic and Chip managed to find and save Zonshen, and Chun thanked them for bringing his grandfather back, and told them that he could now quit worrying and go back to being hungry. Not sooner after saying this, however, Chun asked Sonic and Chip if they had any food on them.

Not long after getting his grandfather back, however, Chun and his village came under attack from Dr. Eggman's robots, who Chun believed had come to steal their food. Fortunately, Sonic and Chip soon returned, and Chun asked for Sonic's help. After Sonic managed to defeat and drive Eggman's forces off, Chun expressed his gratitude to Sonic for saving them and had him promise that he would come back to the village soon.

When Sonic later returned to seek help from Zonshen to cure him of his Werehog form, Chun and Yilin told Sonic and Chip about their grandfather, with Chun telling Sonic about how Zonshen was both the village elder and a famous doctor. Chun then went on to explain that it was thanks to his grandfather that he was so "hearty" as he was, but Yilin remarked that he was just fat. Feeling embarrassed, Chun asked Sonic to keep his overeating a secret. Later, when Sonic had gathered the herbs need for his cure, Chun and Yilin noticed how much fun Zonshen had making the cure for Sonic. Chun later passed on this information to Sonic, and agreed with Yilin when she remarked how rather peculiar Zonshen's behavior was, before asking what "peculiar" meant.

When Zonshen finally had the cure ready, Chun warned Sonic that his grandfather's medicines taste disgusting. Yilin, however, was confused over Chun's statement as he ate everything and called him weird, but Chun remarked that Yilin made a big fuss as well when she had to drink Zonshen's medicine as well. After Sonic had taken Zonshen's medicine, which proved ineffective against his condition, Chun asked Sonic if his grandfather's medicine was as bitter as he said it was and told him that he became sick just thinking about it

The following night, Chun and Yilin learned that Zonshen would try to cure Sonic with pressure point techniques, and later told Sonic about Zonshen's plan and how this technique hurt. As Zonshen’s pressure point techniques failed to cure Sonic, however, Chun was both sad to hear that it did not work and surprised to hear from Sonic that it did not hurt.

After failing twice to cure Sonic, Zonshen prepared to use his Zonshen Qigong technique to cure Sonic, a technique that required intense focus. Chun and Yilin later both saw Zonshen preparing the technique and later told Sonic that their grandfather was trying his best and was preparing for a "big bang". Both Chun and Yilin, however, soon became worried about Zonshen as he became so wrapped up in his cure that he forgot to eat, rest and had started to act weird. Later the same night, Chun asked Sonic if his grandfather was trying to cure him. When it was confirmed and Yilin had explained Zonshen's behavior, Chun said that his grandfather's behavior had really begun to worry him. Thinking that Zonshen had to be really hungry now, Chun asked Sonic if he could bring some of their grandfather's favorite snacks to get better. Sonic accepted the request and soon after returned with the snacks, to which Chun was overjoyed for. However, with the snacks in hand, Chun began considering eating them himself, but was schooled by Yilin for thinking of it. Chun then pulled himself together and headed out immediately to give the snacks to Zonshen. After Zonshen was back to normal, thanks to the snacks, and had treated Sonic, Chun asked Sonic if he was now cured, but was surprised to hear that he was not.

After a while, Chun and Yilin met Charles from Empire City who had come to learn about Zonshen's treatment techniques, but the children did not want Charles to meet their grandfather yet. Deciding that Charles would not get to see their grandfather before they had had some fun with him, Chun and Yilin decided to have Charles complete some tasks for them before they let him through, with Chun getting to go first. When Charles asked Chun what it would take to meet Zonshen, Chun said that he felt pretty hungry and made a deal with Charles: if he could bring Chun three meat buns, he would let him through. Eventually, Chun got his meat buns and began eating them with great delight, before Charles asked Chun to take him to the doctor now. At first Chun was confused about what Charles meant, but the recalled their deal, and said that he would take Charles to Zonshen as soon as he was finished with the meat buns. After having eaten his meat buns, Chun met Sonic and Chip again and told them that if they were looking for a meat bun, he had already eaten them all, though he wished that he had some more.

Despite having promised Charles to take him to Zonshen, Chun did not keep his word and instead let Yilin have her fun with Charles, to which Chun remarked to Sonic that Charles would be Yilin's next victim. After Charles had completed his task for Yilin (with some help from Sonic), which involved playing hide-and-seek, Chun told Sonic how impressed he was that Charles had not given up yet.

After finally having brought Charles to Zonshen, Chun and Yilin later watched on as Charles continued to argue with Zonshen about the tasks he had given him and Zonshen getting angry with Charles' behavior, to which Chun replied that Charles at first seemed kind of worried, and later angry, after speaking to his grandfather.

During Sonic's and Chip's battle with Dark Gaia, Chun was with some of the people from his village that saw the local Gaia Temple rise up from the earth when Chip called it to him.

Shortly after the Earth was shattered during the events of Sonic Unleashed, Chun learned that his grandfather went missing. Shortly after, Chun met Sonic the Hedgehog and Chip who had just arrived in Chun-Nan. Chun explained to the duo that his grandfather was the elder of the village and that he had been gone for a long time, leaving everyone worried. Chun then told Sonic and Chip that worrying always made him hungry and asked Sonic and Chip if they had any food on them. Later on, when Sonic and Chip managed to bring Zonshen back to the village, Chun was surprised to hear that his grandfather was back, before yelling out in joy and relief. Chun then planed to find Zonshen and ask him if he had brought any food back with him.

Later on, Sonic and Chip met up with Sonic again, where Chun again thanked Sonic and Chip for saving his grandfather. He then when on and said that he was once so worried and now he was hungry, so he began looking through his pockets to find something to eat. Instead of finding food, however, Chun found Soundtrack 40 and wondered how it got there. Chun then gave Soundtrack 40 to Sonic as he could not eat it.

When Sonic and Chip later on tried to talk to Chun again, the young boy merely remarked that he had nothing left in his pockets to give to them.

During Sonic's and Chip's battle with Dark Gaia, Chun was with some of the people from his village that saw the local Gaia Temple rise up from the earth when Chip called it to him.
