Xiangzi is a bankrupt young rural farmer. He is eager to buy a car of his own with honest labor. The first car he scrimped and saved was snatched by deserters in the chaotic war. Xiangzi only brought back three camels. Everyone nicknamed him "Xiangzi Camel".
Xiangzi sold his camel, but he still dreamed of buying a car. Xiangzi was drunk by Tigress, so there was nothing he could do. He was entangled in Tigress. Tigress insisted that if she was pregnant, she must marry Xiangzi. At this time, a detective who followed Cao came to the downstairs room and cheated Xiangzi out of all his savings.
Xiangzi, who suffered many misfortunes, finally approached Tigress, but Tigress's father did not agree to this marriage. He sold the car factory and left. After marriage, Xiangzi lived in the yard where the poor lived. Er Qiangzi, a neighbor, is also a rickshaw driver. He forced his daughter Joy into prostitution for the sake of his family. Xiangzi was full of sympathy for Joy's experience. Tigress bought Xiangzi a neighbor's second car at a low price. Xiangzi had a car again, but Tigress died in childbirth soon. Xiangzi sold his car to buy Tigress's funeral.
Xiangzi always wanted to work hard and was not satisfied with his humble social status. But Xiangzi was devastated and oppressed by the old society, and his wishes were shattered again and again by this dark society. Xiangzi's tragic life profoundly exposed the darkness of old China, and reflected the picture of the poor at the bottom of Beijing living in the abyss of pain under the rule of warlords and darkness.
Xiangzi experienced three ups and downs in his life. Although he is honest and lovely, he has to work hard, but under the destruction and oppression of the old society, his wishes and dreams have been shattered again and again. Finally, Xiangzi changed. He is no longer so active and strong. He became indulgent and degenerate. He changed from a young man with boiling blood to a social sick child, and individualism was over!
