Camel Xiangzi is the representative work of Lao She, a famous modern writer in China (1February 3, 899 ~1August 24, 966). Lao She, formerly known as Shu Qingchun, whose real name is She Yu (surname is divided into two), whose real names are She Yu and Lao She. Lao She is his most commonly used pen name, and there are other pen names such as Hongse and Feiwo. Manchu is a red flag man. Born in Xiaoyangquan Hutong (now Xiaoyangjia Hutong) in Xicheng, Beijing, a poor family in Manchu city. Modern famous writers and outstanding language masters are known as "people's artists". His father, a Manchu guard, was killed in the street fighting when Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing. Lao She grew up in the living environment of the bottom citizens in Beijing. When he was abroad, he read many famous western European literature and began to write novels. His early works, such as Lao Zhang's Philosophy, Zhao Ziyue, Ermayina, etc., are satirical in humor, which is quite similar to the works of British writer Dickens, but sometimes they are exaggerated out of proportion and almost slippery. However, for Lao She, the initial creation is an indispensable practice. In 1930s, his creation gradually matured. /kloc-in 0/930, he created short stories such as Fair and Sakura Sea Collection. Finally, he released his representative work Camel Xiangzi at 1936.

Writing background: Camel Xiangzi is Lao She's masterpiece. Taking the whereabouts of Xiangzi, a rickshaw driver in Beiping (now Beijing), as a clue, the life of Beijing citizens in the late 1920s as a background, and Xiangzi's bumpy and tragic life experience as the main plot, this paper profoundly exposed the darkness of old China, accused the ruling class of exploiting and oppressing laborers, expressed the author's deep sympathy for the working people, and showed people the warlord melee and darkness. There are also movies, TV plays and dramas of the same name.

Character evaluation: Xiangzi, once such a strong top driver, did not struggle out of his tragic fate in the end. Life didn't give him too much because he was stronger, such as soldiers, camels, Cao Zhai, Inspector Sun, tigress, and joy ... All these didn't seem to let him escape the ultimate fate of the driver. He once didn't believe in life, but what's the use? His efforts, his first car, his car savings, did not attract anyone, nor angered anyone, just disappeared? Who can blame this? I can only blame my life. As a result, Xiangzi finally became no longer strong like other drivers, and developed things like alcohol and tobacco that he never refused to get contaminated in the past, which made people feel forgivable, and all the bad habits seemed to be unforgivable. But what a strong man Xiangzi used to be! He deducted every penny from his life in order to buy a car. He sacrificed his face and the inferior driver to grab the seat, pulled the car desperately and refused to drink a good cup of tea. Although it is normal for a senior driver like him to drink a good cup of tea, he regards himself as steel and desperately saves money ... Things are often unsatisfactory, and all accidents run counter to his wishes. Xiangzi's knowledge and experience honed him into a different person-a completely opposite person to Xiangzi in the past-who learned all the bad habits, played tricks on the patrolman, maintained himself and became a driver who muddied along. Sometimes he thinks he should live a good life, but when he thinks about his experience, he loses confidence. What if he's stronger? Wasn't he stronger before? Finally, like everyone else, he may be happier every day. Until the end, even his last hope, joy, left this world, and he was completely desperate. A simple, honest, kind and strong rural youth degenerated into a sympathetic gangster, and finally fell down on the street like a dog and never got up again. Xiangzi is the epitome of the poor working people in the old society, and he reflects the hardships and helplessness of the working people in the old society. Xiangzi in Lao She's works comes from the countryside, and the background is the dilapidated countryside in China, where farmers are simple and stubborn. Xiangzi is kind and simple, and has a camel-like positive and tenacious spirit towards life. His only wish is to buy a car to pull and be an independent laborer. Later, after three years of hard work, he bought a brand-new foreign car with his hard-earned money, but it was not long before the soldiers took it away. Then the detective of the reactionary government cheated him out of all his savings, which was the money he planned to buy a car for the second time. Tigress's inevitable' love' brought him physical and mental pain. The third time, he bought a car with Tigress's money. Soon, he will sell it to arrange Tigress's funeral. After many twists and turns, his wish was finally completely shattered. Happy suicide, his favorite, extinguished the last spark of hope in his heart. He lost any begging and confidence in life and became self-indulgent. He began to go to dance school, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and completely degenerated into the garbage of the city. Through this character, Lao She wrote the oppression of the unreasonable social system on the living space of the lower class workers. The evaluation of Xiangzi is: Xiangzi is a man who can't stand the test of life and lost his life. As the saying goes, "The road is long, and I will go up and down." Why doesn't he look for a new way out and become the scum and scum of society? Why doesn't he be the master of life and make a living by himself? I think he was scared, too, because he was born as a farmer and couldn't stand the repeated blows of life, so he gave up. So the cause and effect of the characters in the book has been declining! 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. Ironically, this society doesn't let good people have a way out. Tigress, a shrewish and calculating middle-aged woman, is born with a man's character. She is good at taking care of things and keeping people and garages in order. She tried her best to arrange a scam, but her father, Si Liu, found out early, but she still tricked Xiangzi into marrying her, but she didn't expect her father to leave her and sell the factory to other places. In the end, she died of dystocia caused by laziness. All her endings are of her own making, and she is counting her own life. The Tao is one foot high, and the devil is ten feet high. Like Tigress, she didn't get a good reputation and no one sympathized when she died. It seems better to be an honest man. In this book, the person who impressed me the most was Tigress. At that time, such women were rare. Her image is the most vivid. She is a "bitch". She scolds anyone who has offended her. Her rampaging tone, pouting, and half-smiling and half-smug tone when talking to Xiangzi are so vivid in the book. If it weren't for her age, I would have thought she was a girl of eighteen or nineteen who was not sensible. But recalling the scam she came up with, the play she played, and the words she talked back to her father, I feel sophisticated again. Tigress has a dual identity in the novel: the daughter of Si Liu, the car owner, and the wife of Xiangzi, the rickshaw driver. 1, this seems to be a two-sided contradiction, which makes Tigress's character show duality: on the one hand, she is infected with the idle, scheming and philistine habits handed down from the exploiting class family, and she is uneducated and vulgar; On the other hand, she was delayed by her father out of selfishness and had a grudge in her heart. Her pursuit of love and happiness has been suppressed for a long time, and she has been hurt by the feudal exploitation of her family, so her psychology is abnormal. Tigress is another oppressed object and victim of Si Liu. On the issue of marriage with Xiangzi, she didn't really want to be the wife of a driver for life, but tried to bring Xiangzi to the ideal track of her life to a great extent. Of course, Tigress can't say that she has no feelings for Xiangzi. Xiangzi also got her concern-a tigress-like, almost rude "love"; What's more, Xiangzi can't accept her abnormal sexual entanglement and needs. It is entirely based on her own needs, and it can even be said that it is a physical and mental destruction of Xiangzi. She hurt Xiangzi. Unreasonable social and family exploitation caused her misfortune, and her involvement in Xiangzi's life led to the tragic ending of Xiangzi's physical and mental collapse. Tigress is the resistance and obstacle to Xiangzi's upward progress and one of the external factors leading to Xiangzi's fall. Grandpa Si Liu, the Paoge in the old society, opened a garage after improvement. As an honest and frank person, he has a strong personality and never refuses to lose face in the outfield. The biggest regret in this life is that there is no son to take over. Although a daughter is capable, she is a daughter after all. Because my daughter is middle-aged and unmarried, I feel sorry for her, and I will let her go on weekdays, but I don't want my hard-earned property to be given to others with my daughter. So I broke up with my daughter, and finally I didn't even know where my daughter's grave was. Feudal thought made him forget his family, and when he woke up, it was too late. I believe Xiangzi really felt lonely when he kicked him out of the car and stood there alone for a long time. He really feels that he has nothing but money, and he can't even see his daughter's grave. Affection is precious, I hope we don't know how to cherish it after we lose it. Mr. Cao, a little intellectual in the old society, has some money. Sometimes I teach some books, sometimes I do other things. A man of medium height calls himself a "socialist" and is also an aesthete. He has no profound views on politics and art, but he can embody what he believes in the little things in life. He hopes that he can become a real revolutionary soldier and knows that he doesn't have this ability. He showed some concern and sympathy for the lower working people like Xiangzi, and was able to solve the temporary difficulties of others with his own efforts. It can be said that he is a relatively upright and progressive intellectual, but his thoughts are limited by the times, which makes him not a real soldier. Sun platoon leader/detective-Xiangzi was arrested by soldiers because of an adventure after buying a car for the first time. Not only did he lose his car, but he also had to wait on these soldiers every day. The leader of these soldiers is platoon leader Sun, who has not yet appeared. When Xiangzi met platoon leader Sun for the second time, Mr. Cao was searched. By this time, platoon leader Sun had become a detective, but he still kept Xiangzi with him and gave him all his savings. Xiangzi's final downfall was due to the disillusionment of his dream for many reasons, but this Sun Man directly shattered Xiangzi's dream twice, which is not one of the culprits. Joy-Xiangzi married Tigress and lived in a quadrangle. There are all kinds of people living in quadrangles, including Qiang people. There are five people in the Erqiang family, including the Erqiang couple, daughter-Joy and two sons. The top two sold Joy 200 yuan to an officer, but when Joy was away, the top two killed her sister-in-law by mistake because she was drunk. For the funeral, he sold his car cheaply to Tigress and Xiangzi. After a while, Joy came back. Due to her livelihood, she had to be a prostitute to support her family. In fact, Xiangzi fell in love with Joy after Tigress died, but when Xiangzi returned to Mr. Cao and found a stable job, Joy had hanged herself. Pony and Grandpa-An encounter in a teahouse made him know Pony and his grandfather. For the first time, he felt that even if he tried to pull the cart again, he could not make a living when he was old, not to mention Grandpa Pony had his own car, but he was still poor when he was old. So Xiangzi decided to marry Tigress just for a little money, because no matter how hard he tried, he would be like this little grandfather when he was old. The two later confessed that Pony later died of illness but had no money for treatment. Gao Ma, Mr. Cao's big momma, is very enthusiastic. She has repeatedly advised Xiangzi to lend usury, but all failed because of Xiangzi's stubbornness. Gao Ma was a speculator in this society at that time. She is smart and careful. Perhaps in this society at that time, only by becoming a genius like Gao Ma could she make ends meet everywhere. Self-destructive driver Er Qiangzi sold his daughter to buy a car and enjoyed the scenery for a while. When the money ran out, he drank at home and lost his temper. As a result, he killed his wife, sold his car and started pulling again, getting drunk every day, regardless of his two children at home. After her daughter came back, she forced her daughter to sell herself to support her family. She often goes home to ask her for money, and when she asks for money, she gets drunk. Er Hadron's behavior is irritating, but the oppression of life makes him breathless, so he has to anesthetize himself with alcohol. Whenever he is awake, he feels sorry for his daughter and two sons, but he has no ability to pull a cart to make a living, nor is he as strong as Xiangzi, and his body is not strong enough, which makes him more self-destructive and has become a complete scum.

Theme inquiry: mainly tells the sad story of rickshaw pullers in old Beijing. This paper denounces the immoral people who oppress the people, exposes the exploitation and oppression of simple and kind workers in the dark old society, accuses the old society of turning people into ghosts, expresses the author's deep sympathy for the working people, and criticizes selfish and narrow individualism. At the same time, it also reveals that personal struggle is not the theme for the working people to get rid of poverty and change their situation. It also shows that people are animals that change with the environment and are the most vulnerable. The ugliness of human nature is exposed here.

Language achievements: First, Lao She wrote the bumpy and miserable life of a laborer and a rickshaw puller based on his living environment, what he saw, heard and met at that time, which made readers feel deeply and personally at that time. In addition, readers who are also living in ups and downs can feel that someone understands their experiences and knows how to face their misfortunes. Secondly, Lao She wrote this rickshaw puller truly and nakedly, without any distortion or modification, presenting the exploitation and oppression of laborers in the dark old society of China at that time to the readers completely. This will help government officials who read this book to understand the poor life of workers, thus improving the harm caused to them by the dark old society in China. In addition, readers of other classes can understand the poor life of workers after reading it, thus helping them face various difficulties. Third, Lao She wrote this book in Beijing vernacular. In this way, the reader class of Camel Xiangzi will be wider. Moreover, those citizens who have a low opinion of Chinese will not be affected by Chinese barriers and cannot understand what Lao She expressed.
