La verdadera historia del Camello Xiangzi

The novel offers a poignant look at the struggles of the lower class. I'm curious what personal or societal influences shaped this story.

The depiction of poverty and social injustice was so raw that it made me wonder if Lao She's intention was to evoke empathy or critique society.

The vivid descriptions made the setting almost a character itself. I wonder if Lao She drew from personal experience or extensive research.
