Xiangzi, who came to the city from the countryside, was eager to buy a car of his own with his honest labor. It was Xiangzi's wish, hope, and even religion to be an independent worker. With diligence and perseverance, he spent three years frugally, and finally realized his ideal and became a self-reliant first-class coachman. But just half a year after pulling the cart, the cart was kidnapped by deserters in the chaos of war. Xiangzi lost the cart and only brought back three camels. Xiangzi was not discouraged. He still stubbornly started from scratch and worked harder to save money. However, before he could buy another car, all his savings were extorted and robbed by detectives, and his dream of buying a car came to nothing again. When Xiangzi pulled into his car again, it was at the expense of a deformed marriage with Huniu. The good times did not last long, because Huniu died in childbirth, and he had to sell the rickshaw to attend to the funeral. At this point, his life ideals were effectively shattered. Coupled with the suicide of his beloved woman Xiao Fuzi, the last spark of hope in his heart was blown out. Suffering repeated blows from life, Xiangzi began to lose any aspirations and confidence in life. He could no longer muster the courage to live. He was no longer proud of pulling carts as before. He hated pulling carts and hated working. Xiangzi, who was teased by life, started playing games, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

"Lao Zhang's Philosophy" is Lao She's early work, first published in "Novel Monthly" in 1926, and first printed by the Commercial Press in 1928. It is the starting point for the formation of Lao She's unique artistic personality. The protagonist Lao Zhang is a villain in old Beijing. He holds three professions: "soldier, scholar, and business", and believes in three religions: "Hui, Ye, and Buddhism"; he believes in the "money-based and trinity" philosophy of life. The connotation and essence of the so-called "Lao Zhang's philosophy" is naked philistine philosophy. The novel uses the main plot of Lao Zhang to seize money for himself and resorts to harsh means to break up two pairs of lovers, criticizing this philistine philosophy. "Dr. Wen" tells the story of Dr. Wen, a doctor who studied in the United States. He is a literary and ruffian politician who has no knowledge but is good at political skills. He used the foreign name of a doctor studying in the United States to cheat, curry favor with the powerful, and get a job as a "commissioner" with both fame and fortune. The philosophy of life he believes in is the two-in-one of "money standard plus official standard".
