An old fisherman didn't catch a fish for eighty-four days, but he still refused to admit defeat and was still full of fighting spirit. Finally on the eighty-fifth day, he caught a big fish that was 18 feet long and weighed 1,500 pounds. The big fish dragged the boat into the sea. The old man still struggled with the big fish tenaciously despite the various difficulties of having no water, no food, no weapons, no assistants, and a cramp in his left hand. After two days and two nights, he finally killed the big fish. But the big fish tied to the side of the boat were attacked by many sharks one after another. The old fisherman killed the sharks one by one, and finally only had a broken tiller as a weapon. Finally, the old man was exhausted and dragged back a fish skeleton.
Reader comments
This book moved me very much. The story of the old man and the sea is just like the love between me and my partner, full of ups and downs but dependent on each other. The old man never gave up when he encountered so many difficulties in the fishing process, just like we will persevere when we encounter setbacks in love. Moreover, the description of the relationship between the elderly and children in the book also reminded me of the relationship between myself and my family and friends, which was very warm. This is a book well worth reading and highly recommended!
