Lao She's Camel Xiangzi and Teahouse are introduced. Those who wish come! ! ! ! !

Camel Xiangzi tells the tragic story of Xiangzi, a rickshaw driver in Beiping, old China. Xiangzi came from the countryside, and the declining countryside made him unable to survive. He came to this city, eager to create a new life with his honest work. He tried all kinds of jobs and finally chose a rickshaw. This career choice shows that although Xiangzi left the land, his way of thinking is still the way of thinking of farmers. He is used to individual labor, and he is also eager to have a car as reliable as land. Buy a car and be an independent worker. "This is his wish, hope, and even religion." The city seems to have given Xiangzi a chance to realize his wish. Struggled for three years, bought a car, and was robbed in less than half a year. But Xiangzi still refused to give up his car dream. Although he doubted his pursuit and wavered several times, he kept pulling himself together and struggling again. It should be said that Xiangzi's tenacious character and stubborn attitude struggle with life, which constitutes the main plot content of the novel. The end of the struggle ended in Xiangzi's failure, and he finally failed to realize his dream of owning his own car. The realism of this novel lies in that it not only describes Xiangzi's material deprivation caused by the harsh living environment, but also describes Xiangzi's spiritual degeneration after his life ideal was destroyed. "He has no heart. His heart has been taken away." In this way, a hardworking and kind-hearted rural youth was transformed into a walking dead unemployed.

Based on the life of Beijing citizens in the late 1920s, this novel takes the bumpy and tragic life experience of rickshaw driver Xiangzi as the main plot, profoundly exposes the darkness of old China, accuses the ruling class of exploiting and oppressing laborers, and expresses the author's deep sympathy for the working people.

Teahouses In the era when the Qing Dynasty was about to perish, Yutai Teahouse in Beijing was still a scene of "prosperity": caged birds, fortune tellers, antique jade sellers and crickets.

Wang Lifa, a smart young shopkeeper, is taken care of by all parties. However, behind this "prosperity" lies the suffocating decline of the whole society: foreign goods flooded the market, the countryside went bankrupt, eunuchs married, and patriots were arrested.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the people suffered from years of civil war. All the big teahouses in Beijing are closed. Only Wang Zhanggui has improved its management, turned the backyard of the teahouse into an apartment rented to college students, and put a phonograph in the main hall. Nevertheless, social unrest spread to the teahouse: refugees blocked the door, soldiers took the shopkeeper's money, and detectives came to extort money from time to time.

Thirty years later, Wang Zhanggui is still desperately supporting the teahouse. Japan surrendered, but the Kuomintang and American imperialism plunged the people into the disaster of civil war. Jeeps went on the rampage, patriots were suppressed, and rogue agents wanted to occupy the teahouse that Wang Zhanggui had painstakingly managed all his life. Wang Lifa is desperate. At this time, two friends who made friends 50 years ago happened to come. One is Mr. Chang, who was arrested by the Qing court, and the other is Mr. Qin, who completely collapsed in business for half his life. The three old people scattered the paper money they found all over the floor, crying and laughing sadly. In the end, Wang Lifa was left alone. He picked up his belt, went into the inner room, looked up at the roof, and looked for a place where he could safely end his life.
