Xiangzi not only smokes, but sometimes gambles and drinks. "Everything he used to despise is interesting to him now." He doesn't want to buy another car.

Chapter 21: In autumn, Xiangzi couldn't resist the temptation, but he had sex with Mrs. Xia and became ill. He left his summer house and went back to the garage. Although he sometimes wants to be strong, buy a car and miss the fun, such thoughts are only fleeting. He became lazy and learned to fight. One night, he accidentally involved Si Liu, and Si Liu asked about Tigress's whereabouts. He answered "dead" and left.
Chapter 22: Since talking back to Si Liu in the alley, Xiangzi has been extremely happy. He was determined to bid farewell to the past, and he regained his vitality. He found Mr. Cao's home and asked him to show him the way. Mr. Cao asked him to come to his house for another month and promised to let Joy eat and live in his house. Xiangzi immediately ran to the yard to look for Joy, but Joy disappeared. Xiangzi searched the street all day, but there was no news.
Chapter 23: Xiangzi is walking in the street. He met the pony's grandfather. The old man told him that the pony died of illness and his car was sold. Now he lives by selling tea and so on. He also suggested Xiangzi go to the "White House" to find joy. Xiangzi found the "white house" and learned that Joy hanged herself because she couldn't stand the humiliation. He had a complete mental breakdown. He started eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and extortion, taking pleasure in doing bad things.
Chapter 24: Minh Nguyen tried to use Xiangzi, but Xiangzi sold him 60 yuan and lost his life. Xiangzi can't pull the motor car. He spent the rest of his life sending people to funerals. "Decent, strong, dreamy, self-interested, personal, strong and great Xiangzi" degenerated into "selfish, unfortunate, born in the womb of social illness and the last ghost of individualism".

Xiangzi
Eighteen-year-old tall and strong foreign coachman. For the soul of this book. Xiangzi is an ordinary coachman with a distinctive personality, and he has many excellent qualities of working people. He is kind and simple, loves labor, and has camel-like enthusiasm and tenacious spirit for life, but he is also unreasonable, full of lies, good at taking advantage and selling his life. It seems that he can tolerate all grievances at ordinary times, but there is also a need to resist in his character. He has always been strong, struggling and uneasy about his humble social status. But Xiangzi was squeezed and oppressed by the old society, and his wishes were broken again and again by this dark society.
A fierce woman
The daughter of Si Liu, the owner of the car factory, is thirty-seven or eight years old. Tigress is the daughter of a rogue capitalist with a distinct personality. She looks dignified and ugly. In the novel, she is like a big black tower, doing nothing, vulgar and fierce. She is a somewhat contradictory figure in the book. On the one hand, she is the daughter of a rich man, but on the other hand, she is the wife of a coachman. She is very hard on people. In Xiangzi's words, she is a good friend, but it is difficult to treat her as a woman. She seems unreasonable to outsiders, but she really loves him. She wanted to find in Xiangzi the youth deprived by her selfish father.
Lord Si Liu.
Sixty nine. Ren He, the owner of the car dealership, is harsh and Xiangzi's employer. Paoge, a figure in the old society, improved and set up a parking lot. He is an honest and frank man with a strong personality and never refuses to lose face in the outfield. Because he was ashamed of his daughter Tigress, he gave her some points in everything, but he really didn't want to be inherited by Xiangzi, so he fell out with his daughter, and later sold a few cars to enjoy himself. It was not until Xiangzi accidentally gave him a hand that he knew that his daughter had died. He really felt lonely.
