Camel Xiangzi is one of Lao She’s representative works. Set during the warlord conflicts of the 1920s, the novel tells the tragic story of Xiangzi, a young, strong, and energetic rickshaw puller in Beiping, China, who rises and falls three times. As the darkness of society eats away at him, this kind, honest, and principled man is gradually corrupted in his life, character, and politics, until he is no longer truly human. The novel reflects the wretched lives of the urban poor in old China.
Centered on the rickshaw puller Xiangzi, the story also weaves in the everyday customs and social life of Beijing’s impoverished communities. With a realist style and deep compassion, the author created a cast of unforgettable characters, including Xiangzi and Huniu. The novel holds an important place in the history of modern Chinese literature and enjoys a high reputation around the world.
