From the perspective of Lacanian psychoanalysis, the tragedy of Xiangzi in Camel Xiangzi in essence is a "human tragedy." Xiangzi completed the construction of the "self" of the little other in the mirror stage. After entering society, he trapped into the cage of the big Other, struggled against the invisible control of desire, and was unaware that his desire has always been the desire of the Other, the individual subject "wants" is always pseudo-“I want” Therefore, no matter how Xiangzi struggles, his life is a "void."
