Camel Xiangzi has created a number of unforgettable artistic images such as Xiangzi and Tigress with realistic brushwork and compassion, and occupies an important position in the history of modern literature in China. This book was adapted into a film by film director Ling Zifeng. Today, let's watch this movie together. Through a bitter story of a driver, the film describes how an upright, strong, kind and self-reliant driver was destroyed from body to mind in the old society.
Xiangzi, the hero, is a young, strong, simple, kind and dreamy working proletarian in Yiling.
He came to Beijing to work hard. In order to be healthy, he rented a car called Bibi to make money. But he didn't want to rely on other people's tools to make money, but wanted to be an independent worker, hoping to have his own car one day.
For this dream, he worked hard to pull rickshaws to make money and saved money for three years. Finally, he can buy a car and realize his dream. He is still full of hope for life, still trying to make money, hoping to get a wife.
Unfortunately, when he was pulling a cart, he was arrested by random soldiers and his car was confiscated. For the first time, Xiangzi's hope was shattered. He went back to his original place and sold it slowly, but Xiangzi was looking forward to buying it back. He still worked hard to make money, but he didn't give up soon. He was still full of confidence in life. He saved enough money for the second time, but was cheated by Detective Sun. He can call him a monster. However, life is always unsatisfactory. After that, his hope of buying a car was dashed again, and life continued to torment him.
When Xiangzi was working in Si Liu, Grandpa Si Liu's daughter Tigress took a fancy to him. After they had sex, she conceived his child and forced him to marry her. He had to put aside his favorite joy and marry Tigress. With Tigress's money, she bought a car and lived a seemingly comfortable life. She was very happy, but Tigress, who was pregnant, died in childbirth because she was lazy and unwilling to exercise. All her results were in vain.
Xiangzi had to sell his car to bury Tigress, but he had nothing. His dream was shattered again, which almost made him lose confidence in life. At this time, his favorite joy told him that he was willing to spend the rest of his life with him, and he had confidence in life again. When he went to find Joy, he found that Joy hanged herself and was killed by Changyou.
Tigress's death and Joy's series of deaths finally led to his self-indulgence. He no longer trusts anyone. He began to hate the people around him, and he was no longer as proud of pulling carts as before. He hates pulling carts, hates working, and doesn't pull carts as hard as before to make money. The hardships of life ruined his dream.
Destruction, in this film, after all, all the good and excellent qualities of filial piety did not disturb the exploitation of the old society. Their tragic experience of filial piety deeply exposed the darkness and decay of old China, accused the ruling class of exploiting and oppressing the workers, expressed the author's deep sympathy for the working people, and showed people the images of warlords fighting under the dark rule and the poor citizens at the bottom of Beijing living in the temple abyss.
