老人与海内容简介

The story is set in Cuba in the middle of the 20th century. The main character is an old fisherman named Santiago, and the supporting character is a child named Manolin. The aged fisherman went eighty-four days without a fish in a row, but he refused to give up. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit, and finally on the eighty-fifth day he caught a great marlin, eighteen feet long and weighing fifteen hundred pounds.

The fish dragged the boat out to sea, but the old man hung on, even without water, food, weapons, assistants, and cramps in his left hand, he did not lose heart. After two days and nights, he finally killed the fish and tied it to the side of the boat. But many sharks came at once to take his prize.

He killed them one by one until only a broken tiller was left as a weapon. As a result, the fish could not escape the fate of being eaten, and finally, the old man exhausted dragged back a pair of fish bones. When he got home and lay down in bed, he could only dream of the good old days and forget the cruel reality.
