Camel Xiangzi is not only the writer himself, but also an excellent realist work in the history of modern Chinese literature. It is a very representative representation of Lao She's achievements and contributions to raising the level of works that reflect the lives of the urban poor, as well as the limitations of these achievements and contributions due to the weaknesses that have existed in his creation for a long time.
"Camel Xiangzi" is a masterpiece of the tragic fate of the urban poor, and this ** is a peak in Lao She's entire creation. It is generally believed that the success of this film lies in its true reflection of the miserable life of the people at the bottom of the old Chinese cities, revealing how a bankrupt peasant became a citizen, and how he was thrown into the ranks of lumpenproletarians by society, as well as the tragedy of spiritual destruction experienced in the process. In terms of the life conditions depicted in the work and the typicality of the main characters, this work does help people to understand the dark picture of China's urban society in the twenties and thirties.
However, if you go further, you will find that this ** has a deeper meaning, that is, thinking about the relationship between urban civilization and human nature. This work is mainly a story of moral degradation and spiritual corruption caused by the opposition between a simple peasant from the countryside and the real urban civilization.

In this work, the author realistically describes the suffering and struggle of the lower class people in the city, and raises more acute and urgent social problems.
Camel Xiangzi is based on the whereabouts of a rickshaw driver Xiangzi in Beiping (now Beijing) as a clue, with the life of Beijing citizens in the late twenties as the background, with the bumpy and tragic life of the rickshaw driver Xiangzi as the main plot, profoundly exposing the darkness of old China, accusing the ruling class of exploitation and oppression of laborers, expressing the author's deep sympathy for the working people, and showing people the picture of the poor citizens at the bottom of Beijing living in the abyss of pain under the warlord chaos and the dark rule.
From the story of Xiangzi's struggle to get rid of the miserable fate of life through personal struggle, and finally failed to the point of degeneration, it warns people that the poor peasants in the city want to turn over and become masters, and it is not enough to rely on personal struggle alone.
Main characters. Shoko: Eighteen years old, tall, young and strong coachman. is the soul of the book.
Shoko is an ordinary coachman with a distinct personality, and in him he has many good qualities of working people. He is kind and simple, loves labor, and has a camel-like enthusiasm and tenacious spirit for life, but he is also unreasonable, full of lies, so as to take advantage of others, and sell people's lives. Usually seems to be able to endure all grievances, but there is also a demand for resistance in his character.
He has always been strong and striving, and is not satisfied with his humble social status. But Shoko is destroyed and oppressed by the old society, and his wishes are broken again and again by this dark society. Xiangzi's tragic life deeply exposes the darkness of old China, reflecting the picture of the poor citizens of Beijing living in the abyss of misery under the chaos of warlords and darkness at that time.

I appreciate the fact that the author realistically depicts the suffering and struggles of the lower classes of the city, and raises more acute and urgent social issues. **Through the true description of the process of character change in Xiangzi's thoughts, the social roots of Xiangzi's tragic fate are revealed.
First of all, Shoko's tragedy is a powerful indictment of the irrational system of the old society. ** It suggests the social roots of Shoko's tragedy in many ways. In the countryside, the brutal oppression of the landlord class made Xiangzi's family bankrupt.
After being forced to come to the city, they still cannot escape the fate of oppression and exploitation. All these phenomena are by no means accidental, they are all the products of the dark old social system, in such a social environment, the unenlightened individual laborer, Xiangzi, can only "live in pain and die in grievance." No matter how desperately he struggles, he can't get rid of the fate of suffering.
The old system and society not only devoured Xiangzi's car and savings, but also devoured the good character and will of the working people.
Secondly, the path of personal struggle is the internal ideological root of the tragedy of Xiangzi, and the tragedy of Xiangzi is the complete negation of the path of personal struggle. As an individual worker who has not yet awakened, Xiangzi has an urgent need to change his life status, but he did not see the nature of society at that time, let alone know what kind of road to take in order to fundamentally turn over and liberate. He believes that "with his body and strength as the foundation, as long as he saves money and ,......."As long as he is willing to grit his teeth, nothing will be done" This kind of ideological understanding was very representative among the individual workers at that time.
However, in the evil old society, individual struggle was not at all the way the way for the working people to survive from poverty. Therefore, there is an insurmountable sharp contradiction between Shoko's ideals and reality. From the specific description of the work, we can see that in Shoko's desperate struggle, what he resisted was not the isolation of a single person, but the whole society - a net of boundless darkness.

Didn't write down the reasons why I liked the book.

1. Introduction to the writer of "Camel Xiangzi" - Lao She, formerly known as Shu Qingchun, the word Sheyu, and the pen names Jieqing, Honglai, non-me, etc. Because Lao She was born in Lichun, his parents named him "Qingchun", which probably means to celebrate the coming of spring and have a bright future. He is a modern Chinese writer, a writer, a master of language base, a people's artist, a screenwriter of Beijing Renyi, and the first writer in New China to win the title of "People's Artist".
Representative works include "Camel Xiangzi", "Four Worlds in the Same Hall", and the scripts "Teahouse" and "Dragon Whisker Ditch".
2. Introduction to the work "Camel Xiangzi" - "Camel Xiangzi" is a long story written by the people's artist Lao She (Zen Shu Qingchun, 1899-1966), describing the tragic fate of the rickshaw driver during the warlord melee in the 20s of the 20th century. Shoko is a representative of the toiling masses of the old society.
The background of the creation of "Camel Xiangzi".
Camel Xiangzi**, set in old Beijing in the 20s of the 20th century. Shoko lived in an era ruled by the Beiyang warlords.
The backdrop world in Camel Xiangzi is the dark, deformed, and unbalanced old Chinese society, where the people live in poverty, and Xiangzi is only a representative of the vast number of toiling people. Although they have a certain freedom, they have to run for a living, and poverty deprives them of the pitiful freedom they have.
In 1936, a friend of Lao She's from Shandong University talked about his experience of hiring a coachman and what he had seen and heard: a coachman bought a "foreign car" and sold it soon after, and so on and so forth, and finally suffered poverty.
At that time, Lao She felt that the subject could be written as a **. Since the birth of new literature, writers such as Hu Shi and Lu Xun have written about rickshaw drivers, but they have expressed sympathy for rickshaw drivers from the perspective of intellectuals, and have not gone deep into their hearts and souls to appreciate the life of rickshaw drivers.
Because Lao She was born in a poor citizen family, he has been in contact with the lower class people since he was a child, and has a deep understanding of the living conditions and psychology of the working people, all of which provided materials for Lao She's creation of "Camel Xiangzi".

Camel Xiangzi has a strict structure, the main line is clear, and the best is good at using a variety of means of expression, delicately describing the psychological state of the characters, the language is simple and natural, accurate and rich, vivid and bright, with a distinct local color and life Qi is returning to do Qinghui.
The rickshaw driver is a creative object that often appears in modern literary works, Lao She unusually gave up the condescending posture of the judge, and really went deep into the real life of Xiangzi, and went deep into Xiangzi's rich and delicate inner world, so as to observe the world through Xiangzi's eyes, and feel the world through Xiangzi's heart, so that the life of the coachmen became three-dimensional and detailed, and the typical characters also had spiritual depth.
Xiangzi comes from the countryside, with the peasant's unique simplicity, stubbornness and dullness, with the story, Xiangzi's character has also changed, from the initial simple wooden step by step to become vulgar, because there are a large number of detailed and three-dimensional details of life, there are rich and delicate inner descriptions, his depravity process is more real and inevitable.
This is also the basis of his artistic appeal, ** uses a large psychological description, Xiangzi's personality is silent, tenacious and even wooden, but there is a rod and scale in his heart, and the psychological description just highlights his character, Lao She is not limited to direct analysis, writing a large section of inner monologue, but combined with the development of the plot.
A large number of side descriptions are used to depict his psychological changes, or through short dialogues, or through specific subtle actions to reveal, or with the help of other people's eyes and words to reflect, or with the help of changes in scenery to set off, such psychological descriptions are not only close to the characters' personalities, but also linked to the development of the plot, so as to show the reader a three-dimensional and rich Xiangzi's inner world.
Camel Xiangzi is a Beijing-style realistic feature created by Mr. Lao She**.
The work artistically summarizes Xiangzi's tragic life from full of hope to struggle until he collapsed and went to degeneration, exposing the tragic fate of the people at the bottom of semi-colonial and semi-feudal Chinese society, and Xiangzi's experience proves that it is impossible for the working people in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal era to change their situation through pure hard work and personal struggle.
In this **, the writer Lao She stands on a humanitarian standpoint, expresses deep concern and sympathy for the insulted and damaged weak, and ruthlessly denies the society that destroys people.
The whole work is centered on the writer, the plot revolves around the fate of the characters, the story has a beginning and an end, and the plot echoes before and after, which not only conforms to people's appreciation habits, but also makes the characters more prominent, and the theme of the work is more clear and concentrated, showing the author's complex and simple artistic skills.
