老人与海书评
The reason why any work is classic and timeless and transcends the vicissitudes of the times is because the spirit contained in its text is endlessly and timeless. Just like The Old Man and the Sea, it brings us a noble spirit of loving life and not compromising with fate and suffering, and these have always inspired Chinese and foreign readers over the past century.
The Old Man and the Sea tells the story of the difficult and dangerous situation that the elderly Cuban fisherman Santiago encountered when he went to sea. With his many years of experience at sea and great life force, he fought fiercely against the big marlin at sea. The story ends with the old man guarding skeleton.
Western literature has always advocated individual heroism and likes to write tragedies, and the protagonist of this book, Santiago, has the manifestation of tragic heroism. People usually feel the most distressed times when they are often destroyed because of the most valuable things. Just like the old man, during the long journey of 84 consecutive days at sea, he did not harvest any food, and on the 85th day he continued to choose to go to sea, and finally obtained food, but was snatched away by sharks, and finally found nothing, and looked like "we" who were bitter and hardworking, expecting success but still not achieving the goal. And this book is valuable precisely because of nothing, after thousands of hardships exuded the brilliance of human nature that dares to resist and never give up. Therefore, it seems that the old man still has to starve, but in fact, he has overcome himself and succeeded.
"A man is not born to be defeated, you can destroy him, but you can't defeat him." What a sonorous and powerful text, let us understand the true meaning of life and struggle, as long as we dare to persist, the faith life in our hearts will not be too bad, just like the "dream lion" gave the old man the yearning and courage to go to victory, and constantly inspired the old man to go to sea again and again.
That vast sea, why is it not the fighting ground of life? There she watched calmly and impartially as we competed with life. That precious big marlin is not our ideal and goal after countless trials and tribulations over the long years. The ugly shark is not a stumbling block to evil. And why is that tenacious old man not worthy of our respect?
The old man and the shark experienced a desperate struggle for three days and three nights, and it was the strong cunning of the shark and the exhaustion of the old man's body. Without that friend who had forgotten his life, only the wind and waves at sea and loneliness allowed him to have the experience of talking to the shark, facing unprecedented challenges, he loved, hated, respected, admired, and regretted the shark. They are like friends, like enemies, like rivals, like lovers, and like playmates. With complex and delicate feelings, he was so determined, he never thought that he would be beaten to his stomach, and even if he lay down, he could still stand up again. It's a belief that sustains him to try again and again. His body had been squeezed dry, but because his spiritual strength did not allow him to surrender and return empty-handed. But in the end, he returned empty-handed, exhausting all his effort but achieving nothing. But I didn't see his sadness, this may be the norm of life, the value of struggle is not gained, but the process of hard work. The failure of the result does not mean all. I think that wind and rain on the road of struggle is the norm, and the starlight will live up to the passers-by, and it will give you another way of life.
Persistence is the best way to deal with difficulties, even if the old man fails to bring back the big fish completely, he is respected by everyone, but he is a veritable strong man. "Man can fail, but he cannot be defeated, the outer flesh can accept torture, but the inner will is sacred and inviolable" is the belief in the life of old man Santiago, and it is also the true meaning that the author wants to convey to the reader.
As young people in the new era, the experience of the old man and the sea is the manifestation of our growth over the years. Standing upside down again and again, the indispensable fighting spirit in life is affecting our attitude towards life and life.
Close the book, close the eyes, the heart feels light, the soul has a sublimation. Life is an endless pursuit. It is the road long difficult and full of ups and downs but as long as its own tenaciously to a brave heart to meet the challenges of self-confidence he will always be a real winner! This is a book really worth perusing.
