From the Paper:
"By depicting the life of Hsiang Tzu in vivid detail and the many characters who cross his path in Rickshaw, Lao She captures the moral decadence of the Chinese people. According to Lao She, the "Individualism" of the Chinese results in their failure to unite and commit to a national cause (James viii-ix). Hsiang Tzu, the protagonist of this book, is driven by his selfish pursuits. Believing that owning a rickshaw is the key to his financial security, he steals customers from other rickshaw pullers and leads a secluded existence except when he craves sympathy for his misfortunes. Yet Hsiang Tzu is not the only selfish character. In fact, he is frequently the victim of individuals who are even more despicable."More papers on "Rickshaw":
