Xiangzi's colleagues

Xiangzi grew up in the countryside and lost his parents and several acres of thin farmland. When he was eighteen years old, he went to the city to pull a cart. After unremitting hard work, he bought a new car of his own and became a first-class rickshaw driver in Peiping City.

Only half a year after Xiangzi bought his new car, news of the outbreak of war began to spread on the streets of Peking. One day, Xiangzi was lucky enough to go to Tsinghua University to attract customers for high fares. As a result, he was arrested by the warlords and worked as an errand, and his car was also taken away.

Xiangzi escaped overnight with three camels abandoned by the deserters. At dawn, he came to a village and sold the three camels to an old man who raised camels and received thirty-five yuan.

Xiangzi fell ill in a small shop in Haidian and spent three days in a daze. In the past three days, his relationship with the three camels was heard by others in his dreams or nonsense. From then on, he was nicknamed "Camel Xiangzi". He steeled himself and returned to Renhe Depot. Liu Siye, the owner of Renhe Car Factory, has a daughter named Huniu. Xiangzi deposited the remaining 30 yuan from the sale of camels with Mr. Liu, hoping to continue saving and buy a car of his own.

Xiangzi was still frugal, but his thoughts and behavior had undergone significant changes. He was tortured to the point of resigning after only four days on the "monthly subscription" contract at Yang's house.

After leaving the Yang family and returning to Renhe Depot, Huniu invited Xiangzi to drink. After drinking, Xiangzi was tricked into bed by Huniu in a daze. Afterwards, Xiangzi felt extremely conflicted. He was resentful and longing for Huniu, and at the same time mixed with fear.

Xiangzi went to Cao's house to get a monthly salary, and Mr. Cao's family treated him very well and respected him. One night, Xiangzi took Mr. Cao home and accidentally hit a rock. Both he and Mr. Cao were injured. Xiangzi felt very sad, but Mr. Cao did not blame him at all.

Gao Ma, who was also working as a servant in the Cao family, persuaded Xiangzi to use the money for loan sharking or deposit it in a bank to earn interest, but Xiangzi did not dare; Gao Ma persuaded Xiangzi to start a meeting, but he did not dare. As the new year is approaching, Xiangzi plans to buy some gifts to visit Mr. Liu and get back the money he deposited there, but Huniu comes to visit.

Huniu gave Xiangzi the money he had deposited with Mr. Liu and returned it to him. She told him that she was pregnant and asked him to marry her. She also devised a strategy for Xiangzi to please Fourth Master Liu and trick him into agreeing to their marriage. Xiangzi was so upset that he drank to drown his sorrows.

Xiangzi was waiting for Mr. Cao in a small teahouse. An old coachman in his fifties fainted at the door of the teahouse because he was cold and hungry. Xiangzi bought ten buns and invited the old coachman and his grandson Xiao Maer to eat. The experience of the old coachman dealt a heavy blow to Xiangzi. He found that even if he had a car of his own, it would be terrible to grow old.

When Xiangzi took Mr. Cao home, he found that he was being followed. Mr. Cao asked him to go to Mr. Zuo's house instead, and then asked him to report the news to Cao's house. As soon as he returned to Cao's house, he was arrested by Detective Sun. Detective Sun threatened and lured him. In the end, Xiangzi gave all the accumulated food in the gourd jar to Detective Sun to "save his life."

Xiangzi fled the Cao family and was desperate. Returning to Cao's house again, I met Gao Ma. Gao Ma asked Xiangzi to stay and look after the family, and she went to Zuo's house to seek refuge with Mr. Cao. Xiangzi was worried that he would not be safe in Cao's house, so he climbed over the wall and went to Wang's house next door to find the coachman Lao Cheng. I tossed and turned in Lao Cheng's house all night long. Mr. Cao is a progressive and upright intellectual. His student Ruan Ming was busy with social activities all day long and failed in his homework, but he asked Mr. Cao to let him pass. Mr. Cao did not agree, so Ruan Ming went to the party headquarters to falsely accuse Mr. Cao of being a "party rebel."

At dawn, Xiangzi had nowhere to go, so he had to go back to Renhe Depot. Huniu was very happy to see him coming back. Mr. Liu was preparing to celebrate his birthday, so he asked Xiangzi to help. Huniu secretly gave Xiangzi two yuan and asked him to buy a birthday peach. She also asked him to work harder to impress Fourth Master.

On the day when Fourth Master Liu celebrated his birthday, during breakfast, the coachmen vented their dissatisfaction with Fourth Master Liu on Xiangzi. Xiangzi was so angry that he almost started a fight with them. Seeing the birthday congratulators with their wives and children, Mr. Liu felt lonely and became very depressed. He felt angry when he saw Huniu's affection for Xiangzi. In front of everyone, the father and daughter had a heated argument, and Huniu simply disclosed her relationship with Xiangzi. Mr. Liu also scolded Xiangzi.

Huniu asked Mr. Feng to take Xiangzi to Tianshun Coal Factory. She rented two small north rooms in a large courtyard in Maojiawan, prepared everything for the wedding, set a wedding date, and gave Xiangzi money to buy a new house. Yi, the two of them were combined like this. On their wedding night, Xiangzi realized that Huniu's pregnancy was fake and was designed to deceive him. Xiangzi was so angry that the next day, he really wanted to leave, but where would he go? Finally, he returned to Huniu. He hoped that Huniu would give him money to buy a car, but Huniu didn't want him to continue pulling the car. She asked him to go to Mr. Liu to apologize, hoping to return to the Liu family.

The courtyard where Huniu and Xiangzi rented was full of poor people, and Huniu liked to show off her wealth in front of them. After the Lantern Festival, Xiangzi couldn't stand the leisure days anymore. He pulled up the cart quietly and determined to pull the cart no matter how Hu Niu objected to him. Huniu wanted to return to Renhe Depot, but she was worried that Mr. Liu would not accept it. Xiangzi secretly went to Renhe Depot to observe and found that the sign of the depot had changed.

Xiangzi inquired and found out that Mr. Liu sold Renhe and the car factory and took the money to go out and see the world. Huniu's hope of relying on her father failed, so she had no choice but to use the money to buy a car for Xiangzi to pull. Erqiangzi from the same courtyard sold his daughter Xiaofuzi, bought a car and soon beat his wife to death. In order to bury his wife, he sold the car to Huniu. Xiao Fuzi was bought by an officer to be his wife less than a year later. The officer left without a word and left her. She had to return home. She and Hu Niu became good friends; Xiao Fuzi’s father forced her into prostitution, and Hu Niu Niu took the initiative to rent the house to her and make a profit from it.

Er Qiangzi felt conflicted and painful when he saw his daughter being prostituted. Hu Niu is really pregnant. On June 15th, the sun was scorching in the sky, making people breathless. In the afternoon, there were strong winds and heavy rain. In this world of ice and fire, Xiangzi was pulling the cart, and he finally fell ill.

Xiangzi was ill for a month and got into the car before he fully recovered. A few days later, he became ill again for a month. During Xiangzi's illness, Xiaofuzi came to talk to him. Huniu became very jealous and intentionally After destroying Xiao Fuzi's "business", Xiao Fuzi endured the humiliation and pulled her brother to apologize to her, and the two reconciled. In order to make ends meet, Xiangzi worked hard to earn money by pulling a cart; after Huniu became pregnant, she did not exercise and was greedy. Finally died due to dystocia.

Xiangzi sold the car and buried Huniu. Just when Xiao Fuzi expressed her willingness to marry him, Er Qiangzi suddenly appeared and scolded his daughter shamelessly. Xiangzi fought with him. Xiangzi found that if he stayed with Xiao Fuzi, he would have to support her, her two younger brothers, and her alcoholic father. Xiangzi sold some sundries, packed up his things, left the courtyard and went to the car factory. Xiangzi not only smokes, but also gambles and drinks sometimes. "Things that he looked down upon before now find them interesting." He also no longer wants to buy a car. He is no longer the gregarious person he used to be, but instead tries to show everyone that he is gregarious. Later, he got a monthly subscription from Mr. Xia

In autumn, Xiangzi couldn't resist the temptation and actually had a relationship with Mrs. Xia and fell ill. He left the Xia family and returned to the car factory. Although he sometimes still wants to be strong, wants to buy a car, and misses Xiao Fuzi, these thoughts are fleeting. He became lazy and learned to fight. One night, he unexpectedly caught up with Fourth Master Liu. When Liu Fourth Master asked Huniu the whereabouts, he answered "dead" and walked away.

Xiangzi felt extremely happy since he contradicted Mr. Liu with harsh words in the alley. He was determined to bid farewell to the past, and he regained vitality and vitality. He found Mr. Cao's house and asked Mr. Cao to show him the way out. Mr. Cao asked him to come back to his house for monthly payment, and promised to let Xiao Fuzi eat and live at his house. Xiangzi immediately rushed to the courtyard to look for Xiao Fuzi, but there was no trace of Xiao Fuzi. Xiangzi went to the streets and searched everywhere for a whole day, but there was no news. In the evening, he returned to the car factory, and tobacco and alcohol became his friends again.

Xiangzi walked down the street in despair and met Xiao Ma'er's grandfather. The old man told him that Xiao Ma'er died of illness and his car was sold, and now he makes a living by selling tea. He also suggested that Xiangzi go to the "White House" to find Xiao Fuzi. Xiangzi found the "White House" and learned that Xiao Fuzi had hanged himself because he couldn't bear the humiliation. His spirit completely collapsed. He started eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and blackmailing, and took pleasure in doing bad things.

Ruan Ming wanted to take advantage of Xiangzi, but was betrayed by Xiangzi for 60 yuan and lost his life. Xiangzi can no longer pull a cart, so he spends his remaining days delivering funerals. The "decent, strong, dreamy, self-interested, individual, strong, great Xiangzi" degenerated into a "selfish, unfortunate, born in the womb of social disease, a ghost of individualism"
