1 camel Xiangzi truly depicts the tragic fate of a rickshaw driver in Beijing. Xiangzi is from the countryside. After pulling the rented rickshaw, he decided to buy a rickshaw to pull it himself and become an independent worker. He is light and strong, just like the golden age of life; And work hard and do not hesitate to use all your strength to achieve this goal. Encouraged and supported by strong confidence, after three years of hard work, he exchanged his blood and sweat for a foreign car. But before long, the mutinous soldiers of the warlord took his car away; Then the detective of the reactionary government cheated him of his only savings, and the owner escaped the spy's tracking, which made him lose a relatively stable job; Tigress's inevitable "love" for him brought him physical and mental suffering. Faced with one blow after another, he struggled and still stubbornly wanted to make greater efforts to realize his life dream. But everything was in vain: I bought a car with Tigress's savings and soon had to sell it to arrange Tigress's funeral. His wish is "like a ghost, he will never be able to grasp it firmly, but he will suffer those hardships and grievances"; After many twists and turns, it was finally completely shattered. His favorite happy suicide blew out the last spark of hope in his heart, and he lost any desire and confidence in life. He changed from ambition to self-indulgence: Xiangzi, who had been upright and kind, was crushed by the millstone of life. This tragedy powerfully exposed the crime of turning people into ghosts in the old society.
Xiangzi is an ordinary coachman with distinctive personality, and he has many fine qualities of working people. He is kind and simple, loves labor, and has a camel-like positive and tenacious spirit towards life. At ordinary times, he seems to be able to tolerate all grievances, but he also has the need to resist in sex. His angry resignation in Yangzhai and his revenge on Si Liu, the owner of the car factory, can illustrate this point. He has always been strong and struggling, which is also a manifestation of his unease about his humble social status. He doesn't want to listen to Gao Ma's advice to loan sharks, covet 60 cars in Si Liu, and do small business according to Tigress's advice. All these show that he thinks that "owning his own car means everything" and he doesn't want to climb up and buy a car as the owner to exploit others. What he dreams of is to seek an independent life by his own labor. This is the humble but legitimate life wish of individual workers. The work describes that after Cao Zhai knocked away his hard-earned money, the detective was most concerned about Mr. Cao's entrustment, because Mr. Cao was a good man in his view; He also described his concern for the grandparents of the old horse and pony, showing his kindness and integrity. The reason why his tragedy can arouse readers' strong sympathy is that besides his social status and unfair experience, these personality characteristics have also played an indelible role. Hard-working and strong people like this have finally become first-class "thorns" and embarked on the road of depravity, which clearly exposed the sin of unreasonable society corrupting people's hearts. The work writes: "The laziness of the bitter people is the natural result of hard work and failure, and the tricks of the bitter people contain some axioms." He added, "Man has improved himself from wild animals, but so far, he has driven his own kind into wild animals. Xiangzi is still in the city of culture, but he has become an animal. It's not his own fault at all. " It is from this understanding that Lao She wrote this tragedy with deep sympathy for those who were insulted and damaged. This makes this work have the power of angry accusation and strong critical spirit, which is deeply branded in the readers' hearts.
After reading the book Camel Xiangzi, I learned what kind of life people lived in the chaotic society at that time. This novel takes the life of Beijing citizens in the late 1920s as the background, and takes the bumpy and tragic life experience of rickshaw driver Xiangzi as the main plot, which profoundly exposes the darkness of old China and accuses the ruling class of its deep sympathy for the working people.
The novel mainly tells the suffering experience of a foreign coachman, and describes how an honest, competitive, decent and self-reliant foreign coachman was destroyed from body to soul in the old society. Xiangzi is kind and simple, and has a camel-like positive and tenacious spirit towards life. His only wish is to buy a car and work independently. Later, after three years of hard work, he bought a brand-new foreign car with his hard-earned money, but it didn't take long for the soldiers to take it away, and then the detective of the reactionary government cheated him out of all his savings. Tigress's inevitable "love" for him brought him physical and mental pain. I bought a car with Tigress's money, and it will be sold soon to arrange Tigress's funeral. After many twists and turns, his wish was finally completely shattered. His favorite happy suicide extinguished the last spark of hope in his heart. He lost any begging and confidence in life and went from hard work to being willing to fall. This tragedy powerfully exposed the crime of turning people into ghosts in the old society. It profoundly reveals the causes of production tragedy. This story reflects the life, fate and experience of the working people in Peiping at that time. Xiangzi was originally a man full of hope for life. He loves life and Peiping, but a series of setbacks make him hate the whole world!
I seem to see the overpass, the Drum Tower and the White Pagoda, which are archways, streets, car factories, painting academies and bustling crowds. This is old Beijing decades ago, but there is no idyllic happiness here, but Xiangzi's big feet keep running across the streets and alleys. Under the scorching sun, there are his difficult figures everywhere in the rain and snow. The whip of soldiers and bandits, Mr. Yang's exploitation, his scolding, the robbery of Detective Sun, and the indifference of foreign doctors, this is a real hell! Finally, Tigress died tragically, Joy hanged herself, the old horse's head fell to death in the street, and Xiangzi finally fell down and disappeared into a city gate hole ... This was the life of the working people at the bottom of Beijing in the 1920s. This vivid description made me realize the insurmountable tragic fate of rickshaw pullers, and let me deeply understand what it was like.
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.
The whole novel is vivid in language and vigorous in writing, and depicts the characters with distinct personalities. It is the masterpiece of Mr. Lao She. The sadness in the novel is thought-provoking, and the story is bizarre and touching. Therefore, it is a household name, translated into various languages, spread in many countries, and has a very important influence in the world literary world. What is said in this novel is indeed decades away from us now, and there must be artistic processing, but literature always comes from life, and it is a song in the lives of thousands of people in Qian Qian, Qian Qian. Through it, we can at least know that the society is so dark and the hope is so slim, because it happened in China not long ago, after all, in this age when the rooster is dying.
Now social stability and economic development. As teenagers, there are books to read, and people everywhere protect and encourage them. So we can't live up to the expectations of the new China. At least, we should learn from Xiangzi's enterprising spirit.
Recently, I read Lao She's masterpiece Camel Xiangzi and felt a lot.
Through the bitter story of an old rickshaw puller, the novel depicts how an upright, competitive, kind and self-reliant foreign rickshaw puller was destroyed from body to soul in the old society. Xiangzi is honest, strong 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, he scrimped and saved for three years, traded his hard-earned money for a car, and it was not long before the soldiers took it away. The second time, he saved enough money, but was given away by the hateful detective Sun. The third time, he married Tigress and bought a car with Tigress's money. Life was already good, but Tigress died in childbirth. Xiangzi was heartbroken and had no choice but to sell his car to bury Tigress. After many twists and turns, his wish was finally completely shattered. Happy suicide, his favorite, extinguished the last spark of hope in his heart. It lost any begging and confidence in life and became self-indulgent from its efforts. He became numb, down and out, cunning, taking advantage, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
This book made me realize how dark and terrible the old society was and the crime of turning people into ghosts. Xiangzi was just an ordinary rickshaw driver in Beijing, who was insignificant in society, but fate still couldn't let him go, tortured him and ruined his dream, and later became a self-indulgent person. Tragedy is always creepy and scary.
People often say that "no pains, no gains". Xiangzi is ambitious, hardworking and thrifty. Why did he finally have nowhere to go? Why do you have to drive him to Liangshan? Is that a society where good people are not allowed to live?
In fact, Xiangzi was just a typical society at that time, and his fate was the fate of all the powerless people in that society at that time We can learn what kind of life people lived in the chaotic society at that time.
Our present society is beautiful and happy. No selfishness, no misfortune, no cruelty? The answer is yes. In today's society, many people have made progress and many people have regressed. This retrogression means that people's minds become corrupt and ugly. They gamble, prostitute and rob ... and do evil. However, society is always progressive, and we can only punish these people by coercive means.
This summer, I was lucky enough to read Lao She's "Camel Xiangzi" and entered Xiangzi's inner world-the hell era that destroyed people's body and soul.
Camel Xiangzi tells the tragic story of Xiangzi, a rickshaw driver in Beiping, old China. Xiangzi came to the city, eager to create a life with his honest labor. With the belief of buying a car, he desperately makes money, just like a top. Finally, Xiangzi got his dream car. As for Xiangzi, I don't know how many pairs of shoes he has worn out. However, the "unexpected weather" car was just pulled for a few days, but it was taken away by officers and men. He hates everything in the world. Why did he bully people to this extent? He didn't want to be teased by fate, and cars were robbed one after another, which was the fire of Xiangzi's dream.
Go out again and again. But Xiangzi still refused to give up, kept up his spirits and continued fighting-he bought a car-but this was at the expense of Tigress's abnormal marriage.
The good times didn't last long. Tigress died tragically, Joy hanged herself, the old horse's head fell on the street, and Xiangzi sold the car. In the end, everything went up in smoke, like a pen mark of an eraser, everything evaporated, leaving only a few deep traces. However, in Xiangzi's heart, he was forever impressed-he could not bear the blow, but failed to defeat himself and society, and was defeated and corrupted by society after all. He has no ideal, no goal and no motivation. He didn't have the strength to stand up from the extremely dark environment, but fell forever and ever, assimilated with the falling environment. Xiangzi became hostile to the world and began to retaliate against everyone around him, playing games, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Xiangzi used to be loyal to others, but now he begins to cheat, use and steal from his friends. He became treacherous and even shameless. He completely degenerated into the garbage of the city, became a soulless walking corpse, and gradually disappeared into the hole of the city gate, leaving only a sad story. ...
Xiangzi's tragedy is the product of his social life environment. In a dark society, human power is too small. Xiangzi tried many times to overcome his fate by himself, but in the end he left his body and mind scarred again. Xiangzi struggled in pain again and again, sinking deeper and deeper, and he was gradually distorted and swallowed up by darkness. Xiangzi, once ambitious and full of backbone, is now only greedy for money. Under the temptation of social darkness and money, Xiangzi lost his backbone, but I still firmly believe that fate is in my own hands! In the face of setbacks, the enemy is not an opponent, but himself. We should cherish setbacks as a kind of spiritual wealth, don't turn a blind eye to temporary pain and failure, but leave our fate to ourselves to arrange and try to find a way out.
