Appreciation: Mr. Lao She wrote about natural scenery. The harsh natural environment implies the darkness of the social environment. Xiangzi's unpredictable feelings about nature in the scorching sun and heavy rain not only conform to the natural geography of Beiping, but also conform to Xiangzi's identity as a specific person. The description of scenery is closely related to the character's personality and life fate, which is another feature of Lao She's description of scenery.
There was not a drop of water on the road. It was dry and white. The dust on the sidewalk flies high and connects with the gray air in the sky, forming a vicious gray sand array that burns the faces of pedestrians. Everywhere is dry, everywhere is hot, everywhere is sultry, and the whole old city is like a thoroughly baked brick kiln, which makes people breathless.
Appreciation: Xiangzi was forced by his livelihood to pull carts in the hot sun to earn money. In this way, Xiangzi's tragic fate has been fully reflected in the description of the scenery, indicating that the theme of the work has been displayed at different levels.
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 a lot of Beijing dialects and some descriptions of old Beijing customs.
It profoundly exposed the darkness of old China, accused the ruling class of exploiting and oppressing the laborers, 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 abyss of pain.
