Camel Xiangzi is the masterpiece of Lao She, a famous modern writer in China. Cosmic Wind first published in 1936. Camel Xiangzi describes the bitter story of a rickshaw puller in old Beijing in the 1920s. This novel is a classic of modern vernacular novels, which uses Beijing dialect and some descriptions of old Beijing customs.

Camel Xiangzi tells the story of Xiangzi, a young and energetic rickshaw driver in Beiping, China.

Xiangzi is from the countryside. He is a bankrupt young farmer. He is hardworking, simple and kind. He kept everything that he was brought up and educated in the countryside, but he never wanted to go back to the countryside. Xiangzi, who came to the city from the countryside, is eager to buy a car of his own with his honest labor.

Being an independent laborer is Xiangzi's wish, hope and even religion. With hard work and perseverance, he spent three years scrimping and saving, and finally realized his ideal and became a self-reliant first-class driver. But after only half a year, the car was taken away by deserters in the war. Xiangzi lost his car and brought back only three camels.

Xiangzi didn't give up, but still stubbornly started from scratch, and it was more economical to pull the cart. However, before he could buy a car again, all his savings were ransacked by detectives, and his dream of buying a car was shattered again. When Xiangzi pulled the rickshaw again, it was at the expense of his deformed marriage with Tigress.

The good times didn't last long. Because Tigress died in childbirth, he had to sell a rickshaw to arrange the funeral. At this point, his life ideal was completely shattered. Coupled with the suicide of his beloved woman Joy, it blew out the last spark of hope in his heart.

After being hit by life, Xiangzi began to lose any desire and confidence in life, and could no longer summon up the courage to live. He is no longer as proud of pulling carts as he used to be. He hates pulling carts and working.
