A short story in Xiangzi Camel

The war made people in Beiping feel uneasy. In order to earn more money, Xiangzi took his guests to a dangerous area, only to be dragged to the army by unreasonable police, and his car disappeared mysteriously. Xiangzi followed the army for a while and then slipped away. Before he left, he took the soldiers' camels as compensation for his lost car.

Xiangzi dragged his camel back to Beiping with difficulty. On the way, he passed a small village and exchanged three camels for 35 oceans. With the hope of a new life, Xiangzi set off again.

2. Xiangzi made a slip of the tongue after drinking

Xiangzi went through thick and thin to buy a car. By this time, Tigress had shown her sister's love for Xiangzi, and she liked Xiangzi very much, but Si Liu stole a look at him, but she was not very satisfied. Xiangzi goes to Yang Zhai once a month, but the whole family is extremely stingy. They tried so hard to boss Xiangzi, which made him physically and mentally exhausted. Finally, Xiangzi forced himself to walk on his back because of an insult.

After leaving Yang's home and returning to Renhe garage, Tigress invited Xiangzi to drink. After drinking, Xiangzi was tricked into bed by Tigress in a daze. Afterwards, Xiangzi was extremely ambivalent about Tigress, resentful and yearning, and at the same time mixed with fear.

3. Tigress's calculation

Xiangzi has something to do with Tigress's farce, but if he marries Tigress, he will not be reconciled. He knows that he is no match for Tigress. Xiangzi felt wronged but had nowhere to tell, and once again he felt the trick of fate. Xiangzi pulled the rickshaw and went to the teahouse, where all kinds of leisure life of foreign rickshaw pullers were displayed, showing a bitter taste.

Xiangzi met the grandsons of the old horse and pony here for the first time. Xiangzi sympathized with them and bought steamed bread for his starving grandchildren. The fate of his father and grandson stimulated Xiangzi's heart. He began to waver in his destiny and doubted whether he could get rid of poverty by personal struggle.

Xiangzi returned to Cao Zhai.

Xiangzi walked back to Cao Zhai blankly. Gao Ma asked Xiangzi to stay at Zuo Zhai with them for one night. Xiangzi refused, so he went to the Wang family next door to make do for the night.

Lao She explained here why he suffered this disaster: Mr. Cao's student Ruan Mingyuan once loved to talk to him about social revolution and other things, but they said they could talk a lot, but they also had differences on academic issues. This time, Ruan Mingyuan was expelled from school because of poor class and tried to drag Mr. Cao into it. Xiangzi was unlucky this time. In the evening, Xiangzi thought about it and urged Lao Cheng to prove that he didn't take any money from Cao Fu.

Xiangzi fell down.

Xiangzi wandered in the street and met an old horse. His grandson pony died. The old horse lamented that being a driver for life is a dead end. Poor people deserve to die, and it's no use being strong. He suggested Xiangzi go to Baijia (a brothel in the suburbs) to have fun.

Xiangzi learned that Xi 'er hanged himself in the White House. From then on, Xiangzi's heart sank to the lowest point, all hopes were dashed, and there was no hope of life anymore. If he can't be strong, he can only fall heavily.

Xiangzi used all kinds of insidious means to make money. In the end, he betrayed his friend Minh Nguyen, a nobody who lived a rich life through political speculation. Xiangzi stopped pulling rickshaws. He did whatever he got, but he never stopped contributing. In Xiangzi's mind, everything is "like that" and he can't help taking advantage. Xiangzi finally became the last ghost of individualism.
