Synopsis

"The Old Man and the Sea" is one of the most famous novellas in the world, written by Ernest Hemingway. It tells the story of an old man who goes fishing alone in distant seas. After not catching a fish for eighty-four consecutive days and being laughed at by others, the old man finally caught a big marlin alone. However, the fish was so big that it dragged the old man's small fishing boat on the sea and escaped for three days. Finally, exhausted, the old man was able to kill it and tie it to the side of the fishing boat. Unfortunately, on the way back, the old man was constantly attacked by sharks. When the big marlin landed, only its head, tail and a spine were left. Despite this, the old man never gave up.

Oops~ The third time... Still don't understand Well, come again when I'm older (If you feel like you don't have enough experience, you just know things like unyielding and perseverance, and you can't empathize... And, I don't want to be strong now…. Well, I'll come back later [currently working on it])

People are not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but not defeated. We are born lucky, because we don't have to think about killing the moon, nor do we have to worry about how to kill the sun. We only need to think about how to kill a "fish". End on August 14, 2024 ——Chen Wenruo

What a great book! I especially like the old man's courage and persistence when he fights against the sea. I admire his spirit of not succumbing to difficulties. I feel that I will also encounter various challenges in life, but as long as I don't give up like an old man, there will always be gains. Moreover, this book is bilingual in Chinese and English. Not only can you read wonderful stories, but you can also learn English. It really kills two birds with one stone!
