About This Novel
"Camel Xiangzi" is one of Lao She's masterpieces and a representative work in the mature period of Lao She's language art. With realistic brushwork and compassion, the author has successfully created a number of artistic images with complex personalities and distinctive images such as Xiangzi and Huniu, which play an important role in the history of modern Chinese literature. It tells the tragic story of Xiangzi, a rickshaw driver in the old city of Beiping, China. Xiangzi came from the countryside, came to the city to make a living, and finally chose to drive a rickshaw. Buying a car and being an independent worker, "this is his wish and hope." The city seemed to give Xiangzi the opportunity to realize his wish. After three years of struggle, he bought the car, but within half a year, it was snatched away. However, Xiangzi still refused to give up the dream of owning a car of his own, and kept cheering up and fighting again. The outcome of the fight ended with Xiangzi's failure.

To Camel Xiangzi
Xiangzi, a rural man, for the world, making money with his own efforts and getting a car, the joy in his heart and the love in his heart have been reflected in Lao She's pen and engraved into his image. At the same time, he also shows the image of the coachman of the old era to most people, both in life and in his heart...
After reading it, I felt very complicated in my heart. The feeling was like emotion or irony. This work written by Lao She is really good! The human feelings, thoughts and deeds in it can only be understood with experience. From Xiangzi's hard work to the final idleness, this is the process of a person's demise. The story is not as interesting and vivid to read as other novels. The philosophy of life contained in it needs us to slowly understand it in life!
The novel tells the sad story of a rickshaw driver Xiangzi. Xiangzi came to Beijing to work as a rickshaw puller. He worked hard for three years and finally bought a new bicycle. The bicycle was soon snatched away by soldiers. The ideal was shattered for the first time. Xiangzi bought a camel, worked hard to pull the cart, and saved money to buy a new car. As a result, the money he had saved so hard was extorted by the detective. The second time hope was dashed. After Xiangzi married Huniu, he bought a new car with Huniu's money, but Huniu died of dystocia. In order to arrange for Huniu's funeral, Xiangzi bought another car. After experiencing three ups and downs, Xiangzi lost confidence in life.
Lao She is so great! ! !
Lao She is a great writer! ! ! ! It is now a must-read for first grade students! ! ! ! !
After these three ups and downs throughout the book, Xiangzi became Luotuo Xiangzi, and from Luotuo Xiangzi, he turned into Luotuo. No matter how hard he worked or how smart he was, he still had nothing in the end. Whether it was being deceived by a detective, stealing three camels, or the death of Hu Niu. It's all a tragedy. Xiangzi turned out to be such a simple rural person. But in the end he couldn't survive. I think Huniu's death was the last straw for him. It was what ultimately led to his downfall. Originally, he didn't want to marry Huniu, but Huniu gave him a family, and he might have some feelings for Huniu. But Huniu died, which made him mentally unbearable and eventually collapsed. He couldn't stand up, nor could he stand up again. The desolation and helplessness of the situation. Maybe this is what Mr. Lao She wants to express.
Mr. Lao She wrote down everything he thought in the form of metaphors.
I like Lao She, the simple and plain content makes people understand.
The best among masters, Lao She is awesome, I salute him!
Camel Xiangzi
Exposed the cultural and psychological structure of Beijing
I will always support Lao She
I still want to come back when it comes to right and wrong, it's like this if you don't study.
