1, camel Xiangzi
Camel Xiangzi reveals the tragic fate of the bottom people in semi-colonial and semi-feudal China society through the life story of the rickshaw driver Xiangzi who finally fell down. Xiangzi's experience proved that the working people in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal era could not change their situation through their own hard work and personal struggle.
2. "Four generations under one roof"
Four generations under one roof is a million-word novel written by China writer Lao She. This is a novel that shows the life of ordinary people and the war of resistance in the occupied areas of Beiping. This book consists of three parts. Based on the Xiaoyangquan Hutong in Beiping, the book depicts the images of many ordinary people from all walks of life at that time through complex contradictions and entanglements, with the Qi family in the Hutong as the main body and the Qian family, Guan family and other residents as the auxiliary.
The choice of resistance and obedience, the choice of country and individual, and all kinds of difficult choices are intertwined, which profoundly shows the difficult and tortuous road that ordinary people have gone through in the historical process of the great era.
3. Under the Red Flag
In this work, Lao She takes autobiography as a clue to show social customs and historical changes. Different from his previous writing, he gave a wonderful performance on his national history-the living habits of the flag-bearers in the late Qing Dynasty. Therefore, autobiography provides a good perspective for observing, entering history and examining national customs.
