Mrs. Xia, there is no real name in the text. I only know that she is a prostitute, Mr. Xia's concubine, and Xiangzi is Mr. Xia's monthly foreign driver.
Mr. Xia is a "skinny monkey". He can give Mrs. Xia enough money to spend, but he can't satisfy Mrs. Xia's appetite sexually, so Mrs. Xia will take the initiative to seduce the powerful Xiangzi.
In the whole novel, she didn't write much ink, not enough to write two chapters. In the remake of the film, there is no plot of Mrs. Xia and "Mrs. Xia seduced Xiangzi into getting sick"
Xiangzi had a temporary sexual need for Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia accelerated Xiangzi to the abyss of depravity. Before having sex with Mrs. Xia, Xiangzi lost Tigress's strong financial support and beloved car, but at the same time he entered joy in his empty spiritual world.
Xiangzi's three ups and downs
Together: positive and strong → came to Beiping as a rickshaw puller, worked hard for three years, scraped together 100 yuan and bought a new car. → Self-confidence and full of hope for life.
A fall: out of the desire for money, even people and cars were arrested by the gendarmerie as able-bodied men. The ideal is shattered for the first time → I feel unfair for the first time, and I am still full of hope for life and never admit defeat.
Second, I sold the camel, paid a month's rent at Mr. Cao's house, saved money to buy a new car → I was full of hope and felt warm and cordial.
Raul: In the dry month, Xiangzi's hard-earned money was also blackmailed by Detective Sun in a raid, and his second hope was dashed. → Get lost, resigned and numb.
Three times: Tigress married Xiangzi. Tigress bought Xiangzi's neighbor's car at a low price, and Xiangzi got a car again → Xiangzi could pull a car again.
Three falls: Tigress died in childbirth. In order to arrange Tigress's funeral, Xiangzi sold the car again. I also know the news of Joy's death → The gangster lived, completely degenerated and lost any hope.
Xiangzi's trilogy of fate is "positive-unwilling to fail-self-indulgence".
