About This Novel

Xiangzi came from the countryside and was determined to buy a car of his own. However, the car he bought with three years of hard-earned money was robbed by the warlord's rebels. The second time, before he could save enough money to buy a car, the money was extorted by Detective Sun. Then, Huniu's "love" for him brought hardships to him both physically and mentally. After Huniu died of dystocia, a car bought with Huniu's savings had to be sold to pay for Huniu's funeral. After many setbacks, and with the suicide of Xiaofuzi, the woman Xiangzi loved, the last spark of hope in Xiangzi's heart was finally blown out, and he gradually evolved from an honest rickshaw driver to a pure lumpen proletarian. Through this tragic artistic image, we can have a deeper understanding of the semi-feudal and semi-colonial old China and inspire people to understand the root cause of Xiangzi's tragedy.

I have probably read some of Lao She's articles, and the portrayal of each character is impressive. The fourth master Chang in the teahouse who is upright but still cannot escape the shackles of the times is the most unforgettable for me; the ups and downs of the small patrol policeman in my life, and the fate of ultimately not escaping the sad ending makes me reflect; the heroine in "Crescent Moon" is even more in the times. Forced by others, he finally embarked on a path of no return, having long forgotten his original intention; the Xiangzi described in this article is a little man who is honest about his duty, but does not know how to resist. He originally earned a car with his own hard work, but was robbed by the soldiers. Such a cowardly and honest Xiangzi finally had a tragic ending.

Reading this book shows how dark and decadent the society was at that time. We should be content with the beautiful society we have now. It is the party that leads us towards beauty.

Thoughts after reading

It's very sad to see that such a motivated person ended up like this because he couldn't keep up with society and lived in the old society.

It is said that "a situation is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change." However, the society at that time could actually change a person's nature. The darkness of the society at that time is indescribable!
