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.
