According to Baidu's educational materials, "In Camel Xiangzi, Xiangzi's real name is Xiangzi. Later, warlords scuffled. Xiangzi went out of the city and met with mutinous soldiers. His sweatshop was lost and he was arrested by soldiers as able-bodied men. Later, Xiangzi found a chance to escape, stole three camels and sold them on the road. Xiangzi got sick after he escaped. People heard that he always talked about camels in his sleep, so they nicknamed him "Xiangzi Camel".
Camel Xiangzi tells the story of Xiangzi, a young and energetic rickshaw driver in Beiping, China. Xiangzi was the representative of the working people in the old society. Xiangzi came from the countryside and was a bankrupt young farmer. He is hardworking, simple and kind, and retains everything that he was raised and educated in the countryside, but he never wants to go back to the countryside.
