Camel Xiangzi

About This Novel
This book is set in Peiping in the 1920s and tells the tragic fate of a foreign rickshaw driver. Xiangzi, who comes from the countryside, is simple and kind-hearted. When facing life, he is as positive and tenacious as a camel. He owned a car of his own, but after three full efforts, they all ended in failure: the first time, the new car he just bought was robbed by rebels; the second time, all his savings were defrauded by the reactionary government detectives; the third time, the car he obtained at the cost of a twisted marriage with Huniu was lost again because of Huniu's death. Finally, the suicide of his beloved girl Xiao Fuzi cooled the last warmth in his heart. From then on, Xiangzi completely degenerated from being aggressive, becoming numb, down-and-out, cunning, self-destructive, like a walking zombie.
