This is a Chinese name; the family name is Xu.
Xu Qing, nicknamed "Mountain Rat", is a fictional Song dynasty knight-errant from the 19th-century Chinese novel The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants.
Originally a blacksmith by occupation, Xu Qing was crude, headstrong and not very bright. However, he was righteous, brave and extremely loyal to his sworn brothers Lu Fang, Han Zhang, Jiang Ping and Bai Yutang. The five were collectively known as "The Five Rats of Hollow Island", and Xu got his nickname because he could quickly traverse mountain caves.
