The first group is rickshaw pullers who have beautiful cars, can drive and collect cars freely, and are "young and strong, and have quick legs and feet". They mainly pull chartered cars or buy their own cars, which is the best group in the rickshaw puller system abroad.

The second group is a little bigger than the first group, because the physical relationship is almost worse, or because the family relationship dare not waste a day. They may pull "all day" or "late", and their situation is slightly worse than that of the first group.

The third faction is coachmen over 40 or under 20. When the car breaks down, they dare not "pull it late", so they can only leave early to pull the "car share" and eat their own food.

Xiangzi belonged to the first faction at first, but later he was persecuted to a lesser degree than the third faction.
