Xiangzi came from the countryside and determined to buy a car of his own, but the car he had spent three years of hard-earned money in exchange was snatched by the warlord''s insurgents. The second time, before he saved enough money to buy a car, the money was blackmailed away by Detective Sun. Then, Hu Niu''s "e;love"e; for him brought hardships to his body and mind. A car bought with Huniu''s savings had to be sold to take care of Huniu''s funeral after Huniu''s dystocia. After many setbacks, and with the suicide of Xiangzi''s beloved woman, Xiaofuzi, the spark of last hope in his heart was finally blown out, and he gradually evolved from an honest coachman to an authentic hooligan proletarian. Through this tragic artistic image, people have a deeper understanding of the semi-feudal and semi-colonial old China. And it inspired people to understand the root cause of Xiangzi''s tragedy.
