i was randomly thinking about why the fuck this is titled rickshaw BOY when the guy is in his early 20s, so not a boy anymore, even by our modern standards, so i looked at the original title, 骆驼祥子 = camel xiangzi, camel being his nickname and xiangzi his given name, nothing about a boy as u can see. so another crooked translation ig.

i started reading this last night and its pretty good so far, but bcs of my obsession with winter sun i keep imagining the main character as chanyang bcs they are close in age and have some other descriptive similarities.
