Rickshaw Boy

Rickshaw Boy is the story of Xiangzi, an honest and serious country boy who works as a rickshaw puller in Beiping (Beijing). A man of simple needs whose greatest ambition is to one day own his own rickshaw, Xiangzi is nonetheless thwarted, time and again, in his attempts to improve his lot in life.

A popular and influential work of 20th-century Chinese literature, Rickshaw Boy presents an unflinchingly honest portrait of life on the margins of society, intertwining dark comedy and tragedy.
