What kind of image is Mr. Cao in Xiangzi's mind?

The main events of Mr. Cao in Camel Xiangzi are as follows:

Xiangzi's employer, who loves traditional art, is tolerant of others because he believes in socialism and is regarded as a "saint" by Xiangzi. Because the authorities said that he was a revolutionary party when he was teaching, he fled to Shanghai to take shelter and returned to Peiping. Later, he was willing to help Xiangzi rebuild his life.

He is a little intellectual in the old society and has some money. Sometimes I teach some books, sometimes I do other things. A man of medium height calls himself a "socialist" and is also an aesthete. I don't have profound views on politics and art, but I can embody what I believe in the little things in my life.

He hopes that he can become a real revolutionary soldier and knows that he doesn't have this ability. He showed some concern and sympathy for the lower working people like Xiangzi, and was able to solve the temporary difficulties of others with his own efforts. It can be said that he is a relatively upright and progressive intellectual, but his thoughts are limited by the times, which makes him not a real soldier.

The Significance of Characters in Camel Xiangzi;

Xiangzi's experience in Camel Xiangzi proves that it is impossible for working people in semi-colonial and semi-feudal times to change their situation through their own hard work and personal struggle. The novel depicts many small people like Xiangzi.

Such as Tigress, Grandpa Si Liu, Mr. Cao and Huanxi. Some of these little people had to live alone because of the family separation caused by the war, some were crushed by their families, and some sold their bodies to support their brothers.

The tragedy of the working people at the bottom of society is a tragedy of the whole era. Everyone in it will eventually escape the same fate as Xiangzi, unless they recognize their present situation and unite to overthrow the cannibal society and system.
