It shows a true picture of old China, full of life, with distinctive national style and local characteristics. Xiangzi, who was competitive, wanted to be a "free foreign driver" and married Tigress, the daughter of Si Liu. Tigress died in childbirth soon. Joy, the daughter of Er Qiangzi, the driver, has feelings for Xiangzi, but because she is poor, she can't combine. When Xiangzi, who was full of hope for the future, came to see Xi 'er, Xi 'er was dead. The competitive Xiangzi was finally swallowed up by a cannibal society.
I seem to see the overpass, the Drum Tower and the White Pagoda, which are archways, streets, car factories, painting academies and bustling crowds. This is old Beijing decades ago, but there is no idyllic happiness here, but Xiangzi's big feet keep running across the streets and alleys. Under the scorching sun, there are his difficult figures everywhere in the rain and snow. The whip of soldiers and bandits, Mr. Yang's exploitation, his scolding, the robbery of Detective Sun, and the indifference of foreign doctors, this is a real hell! Finally, Tigress died tragically, Joy hanged herself, the old horse's head fell to death in the street, and Xiangzi finally fell down and disappeared into a city gate hole ... This was the life of the working people at the bottom of Beijing in the 1920s. This vivid description made me realize the insurmountable tragic fate of rickshaw pullers, and let me deeply understand what it was like.
Xiangzi's tragedy is the product of his social life environment. By describing the characters and interpersonal relationships around Xiangzi, the novel truly shows the life of that dark society, the ugly faces of warlords, spies and car factory owners, and the distorted reflection of the oppression and oppressed relationship of Xiangzi by their ruling network.
(2) The novel "Camel Xiangzi" takes Beijing residents' life in the late 1920s as the background and rickshaw driver Xiangzi's bumpy and tragic life experience as the main plot, which profoundly exposes the darkness of old China and accuses the ruling class of its deep sympathy for the working people. Xiangzi was a young coachman in Beijing in the 1930s. He is kind and upright. His ideal is to drive and own his own car. So, he scrimped and saved, and got up early to get greedy. Three years later, he finally got his wish, but it was in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time. Beiping was in chaos, Xiangzi was taken to odd jobs in a muddle, and what was more painful was that his car as his sustenance was also taken away. After going through all the hardships, I escaped and returned to Renhe Factory to continue pulling carts. But the pain is not over yet: Tigress, the daughter of factory owner Si Liu, took a fancy to Xiangzi and seduced him. Xiangzi was cheated and had to marry Tigress. Soon Tigress died in childbirth.
Since then, Xiangzi has fallen, and his former kindness and integrity have disappeared. He hates anyone. He stopped pulling carts and got into the bad habit of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He can betray his friends for money and become a walking corpse completely.
Xiangzi's tragedy is the product of his social life environment. The novel truly shows the life of that dark society, and shows the ugly faces of warlords, spies and car factory owners. But for their persecution, Xiangzi would not have changed from hopeful to depraved. A person who used to be diligent and patient and had his own goals turned out to be social garbage-isn't this a sad life? Maybe this is reality, cruelty, sadness and helplessness.
Although this is only a novel, it reflects the cowardice of human nature. After all, few people can persist for a lifetime, but we can gradually change in the process of pursuit. After all, what will happen tomorrow? We don't know, but we can grasp today.
