This work is a microcosm of the tragedy of the lower class in old China. Xiangzi, a rickshaw driver in Peking, dreams of buying a car, but he goes through "three ups and downs": his car is robbed, his money is swindled, his lover dies, and he eventually transforms from a hard-working young man into a numb walking corpse. Lao She depicts Xiangzi's struggle and degradation in authentic Beijing language, exposing the darkness of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. It is a milestone in modern Chinese literature, with both realist criticism and artistic appeal.
