"A ship crosses the end of the world and sails into the unknown sea, and on the bow of the ship hangs a flag that is still gorgeous despite the erosion of the wind and rain, and on the flag, the four words like a dragon dance and shine - beyond the limit! Here's how the author Hemingway commented on his work "The Old Man and the Sea".
The Old Man and the Sea creates a classic tough guy image. An old Cuban fisherman named Santiago went out fishing alone and caught a huge marlin after 48 days of nothing. It was a large fish two feet longer than his boat that the old man had never seen or heard of.
The fish was so vigorous that he dragged the boat adrift for two days and two nights, and the old man went through a difficult test that he had never endured before, and finally stabbed the big fish to death and tied it to the bow of the boat. However, at this time, he encountered a shark, and the old man fought to the death with the shark, but the big marlin was still eaten by the shark, and the old man finally dragged home only a bare fish skeleton.
Why didn't Hemingway let the old man win in the end? In the words of the old man: "A person is not born to be defeated", "People can be destroyed, but they cannot be defeated."
This is the philosophy that "The Old Man and the Sea" wants to reveal. It is undeniable that as long as you are human, you will have flaws. When a person acknowledges this flaw and strives to overcome it rather than submit to it, it does not matter whether he ends up catching a complete marlin or an empty skeleton, because the value of one's life has been fully demonstrated in the pursuit of marlin.
He has worked hard and struggled for his ideals, isn't he a winner? The old fisherman is the one who dares to challenge his own flaws and his own courage and confidence. From the point of view of the secular view of victory, the old fisherman is not the final victor, because although he defeated the big marlin at the beginning, in the end the big marlin was eaten by the shark, and he only returned to the shore with the white skeleton of the big marlin, that is, the shark was the victor.
However, in the eyes of the idealists, the old fisherman is the victor, because he has never compromised and surrendered to the sea, not to the big marlin, and not to the shark. As the master Beethoven said, "I can be destroyed, but I cannot be conquered".
Human nature is strong, and human beings themselves have their own limits, but it is precisely because of people like the old fisherman who challenge and surpass them again and again that this limit expands again and again, and puts greater challenges in front of mankind again and again. In this sense, heroes like the old fisherman Santiago, regardless of whether they succeed or fail in challenging the limits, are worthy of our eternal respect. Because, what he brings us is the noblest self-confidence of human beings!
Life is an endless pursuit. Its road is long, difficult, and full of ups and downs, but as long as he is brave and tenacious to meet the challenges with a confident heart, he will always be a true winner!
