About This Novel

This volume includes Mr. Lao She's novels "Camel Xiangzi", "Drum Calligraphy Artist" and "The Biography of Niu Tianci": "Camel Xiangzi" takes the whereabouts of Xiangzi, a rickshaw driver in Peiping (today's Beijing) as a clue, and tells the story of the 1920s in the 20th century. Taking the life of Beijing citizens at the end of the Era as the background, it describes the ups and downs and tragic experiences of Xiangzi's transformation from a human to a "beast", and shows people the picture of the poor citizens at the bottom of Beijing living in an abyss of pain under the warlords' melee and dark rule. "Artist of Drum Calligraphy" tells the story of the sufferings of Fang Baoqing, a drum calligraphy artist, and his family: Baoqing's brother Baosen was killed by the Japanese army; his daughter Xiulian was ruined by Zhang Wen after her marriage to the progressive writer Meng Liang fell through; and her married daughter Dafeng was also abandoned. Just in line with the saying: "A lifetime of making art, three lifetimes of suffering." "The Legend of Niu Tianci" tells the story of a child named Niu Tianci who became a "waste" in an abnormal businessman family and inappropriate school education.
