She pursued pleasure blindly, while he could only drink to drown his sorrows. The two went to Pamplona, Spain, with a group of male and female friends to participate in the bullfighting festival in pursuit of spiritual stimulation. The lady rejected the pursuit of the Jewish young man Cohen, but fell in love with the 19-year-old bullfighter Romero. However, after getting along for a period of time, due to the huge age gap between the two parties, and Mrs. Ashley could not bear to ruin the future of the innocent young man, the relationship ended sadly. Madame eventually returned to Barnes, although both parties knew that they could never truly be together. "The Sun Also Rises" is Hemingway's first novel, and it can be regarded as his highest artistic achievement. Hemingway also became the spokesperson of the "lost generation".
