Zhou

 is a minor character and Stranger featured in Red Dead Redemption. He is seen in the stranger mission Love is the Opiate.

Red Dead Redemption
Zhou is a Chinese immigrant from Shanghai. Indentured as a servant for the butcher, he tells Marston that his love is waiting for him back home and he can't return to her because he's a slave to the butcher. The butcher tells Marston that Zhou is under contract, and if he breaks that contract he'll owe the butcher $10,000. He then says that if Marston brings him a white stallion, he'll give Zhou his freedom. The white stallion you need is a Hungarian Half-Bred, which can be any where in Nuevo Paraiso, but are usually found around Diez Coronas.

In the end though, even with his freedom, his addiction to opium keeps him from returning to his love. Marston finds him at the train station at Chuparosa, obviously high. Zhou says that he will quit "tomorrow". Marston walks away and this is the last heard of Zhou.
