brief Introduction of the content
Camel Xiangzi tells the story of Xiangzi, a young and energetic rickshaw driver in Beiping, China.
Xiangzi is from the countryside. He is a bankrupt young farmer. He is hardworking, simple and kind. He kept everything that he was brought up and educated in the countryside, but he never wanted to go back to the countryside. Xiangzi, who came to the city from the countryside, is eager to buy a car of his own with his honest labor. Being an independent laborer is Xiangzi's wish, hope and even religion.
With hard work and perseverance, he spent three years scrimping and saving, and finally realized his ideal and became a self-reliant first-class driver. But after only half a year, the car was taken away by deserters in the war. Xiangzi lost his car and brought back only three camels. Xiangzi didn't give up, but still stubbornly started from scratch, and it was more economical to pull the cart. However, before he could buy a car again, all his savings were ransacked by detectives, and his dream of buying a car was shattered again.
When Xiangzi pulled the rickshaw again, it was at the expense of his deformed marriage with Tigress. The good times didn't last long. Because Tigress died in childbirth, he had to sell a rickshaw to arrange the funeral. At this point, his life ideal was completely shattered. Coupled with the suicide of his beloved woman Joy, it blew out the last spark of hope in his heart. After being hit by life, Xiangzi began to lose any desire and confidence in life, and could no longer summon up the courage to live. He is no longer as proud of pulling carts as he used to be. He hates pulling carts and working.
Xiangzi, teased by life, started playing games, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. In order to drink, Xiangzi cheated money everywhere and eventually became "urban garbage", earning a living by giving people weddings and funerals and doing odd jobs. Xiangzi changed from a "decent, strong, dreamy, selfish, personal, powerful and great" bottom worker to a "depraved, selfish, unfortunate and socially ill child, the last ghost of individualism".
