Synopsis

"Camel Xiangzi" is the masterpiece of the famous modern Chinese writer Lao She. The novel is based on the life of Beijing citizens in the late 1920s, with the rough and tragic life experience of rickshaw driver Xiangzi as the main plot. It profoundly exposes the darkness of old China, accuses the ruling class of exploitation and oppression of workers, and expresses the author's deep sympathy for the working people. This book also includes another novel "Divorce".

Reader comments

Xiangzi's fate was so rough that it made me feel heartbroken. I especially like the interaction between Xiangzi and Huniu in the book, it is very real. This reminds me of Yu Hua's "To Live", both of which describe the lives of people at the bottom of society. However, "Camel Xiangzi" focuses more on personal destiny, while "To Live" shows the suffering of that era more broadly. All in all, this is a book well worth reading and highly recommended!
