Old Man and Sea
About This Novel
This version of "The Old Man and the Sea" is designated and recommended by four well-known writers, Mai Jia, Su Tong, Alai, and Ma Jiahui. Mai Jia, the winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award, wrote a preface with an in-depth explanation: From the world to the soul. "We can have nothing, but we can't be without hope and we can't lose our fighting spirit." "The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of an elderly Cuban fisherman who fished alone at sea and caught nothing for eighty-four days. On the 85th day, he caught a huge marlin. The marlin dragged the old man and his boat into the Gulf Stream far offshore. After two days and two nights of fighting, the old man finally caught the marlin, but was attacked by a group of sharks on his way back. He fought with the shark for a day and a night, and in the end he only had a broken tiller as a weapon. The marlin was eaten by sharks and only the skeleton remained. Finally, the old man dragged the big fish skeleton back to the shore exhausted. But the old man did not lose hope and confidence. After resting, he was ready to go to sea again.
