There is always a distinct main line running through Yu Qiuyu's prose works, which is the tracing, thinking and questioning of Chinese history and Chinese culture. Similar to some other so-called cultural essayists, Yu Qiuyu's works are more spiritual and lively, although the content of expression is heavy.
The fat old man is lively, easy-going, easily satisfied, and pursues material things, big and small. The thin old man is persistent, stubborn, and spiritual. He only catches big fish and does not wait for trivial charity from the sea. The fat old man lives a nourishing and happy life, which can represent the secular attitude towards life. The thin old man is lonely, tragic, yet noble, and can represent a noble attitude in life.
This article is a philosophical essay. Although the length of the article is short, its metaphorical meaning is profound and broad. The life phenomena described in this article are simple, but Yu Qiuyu's narrative has triggered a lot of life thinking.
