About the content of "The Old Man and the Sea": An old Cuban fisherman named Santiago. A lifetime of fishing in the ocean. It was the 84th day in a row that the old man had found nothing. He was thin and haggard, with scars from fighting the sea all over his body, but his eyes were still as deep and blue as the sea water, shining with an unyielding light. The kind-hearted Manolin is the old man's close friend. He encourages the old man, collects the harpoon, collects the fishing net, and prepares the bait for the old man.

The next morning, the waning moon hung slantingly in the sky like a hook. With Manolin's care and blessing, the old man went into the sea again. He thought to himself: "85 is an auspicious number."

The old man arrived at the destination calmly. In the faint sunshine, he skillfully put the bait on the hook, then put it into the sea and let the boat follow it. Drift away with the current. As the old man himself said, although he is not as strong as before, he has a keen eye and know-how. The old man is convinced that he was, is and will still be the best fisherman in this area in the future.

Finally, a huge marlin took the bait. He and the big marlin were in a stalemate for a day and a night, and they persisted tenaciously. No one gave up, and no one had any help. Late at night, the big fish set off a strong wave. The old man was knocked over in the cabin, his face hit the side of the boat, and his face was covered with blood. But the old man was not angry. He said gently: "Fish, I will die with you."

The sun rose again, and the cold all night made the old man's back stiff and aching. . In order to preserve his strength, the old man cut the tuna he caught into several pieces and ate one piece raw. Seeing that this big fish was two feet longer than the boat, the old man couldn't help but feel a little worried. He had never encountered such a big fish in his life. Although he had caught fish weighing more than a thousand pounds, there were several people there at that time and he was in his prime. But now the situation has changed unfavorably for him. He is fighting alone. What's worse is that his left hand begins to cramp, like a curled eagle's claw.

The sun rose for the third time, and the big fish began to circle in place. The old man knew that the big fish could not hold on anymore, but his physical strength was also obviously declining, but he said to himself again and again: "You can't let the fish defeat you, and you can't die at the hands of the fish." After calmly analyzing the situation between himself and the big fish, the old man proudly announced that he could defeat the big fish. "Because I had a good sleep and ate a lot, but the big fish was always hungry." Thinking of this, the old man even began to sympathize with the fish. At this moment, the big fish jumped in the water. At the moment when the big fish approached the boat, the old man raised the harpoon high and used all his strength to poke it from the side. The harpoon hit the big fish in the waist. The big fish jumped up from the water and fell into the water with a crash, causing huge waves. After a while, the big fish turned to the sky and died. The old man was also dizzy from exhaustion, but he still used his last strength to tie the big fish to the boat. The ship sailed away, heading southwest with the wind.

Although the old man's fatal fork killed the big marlin, it also caused a large amount of fish blood to flow into the sea and spread rapidly. The shark, the tyrant of the sea, heard the wind and attacked the big marlin fiercely. The marlin pounces. After three days and nights of life and death struggle, the old man has regarded this big fish as his brother. He sees every shark attack as a challenge to himself. The old man fought back against the shark with a harpoon. He killed a shark with all his strength, but lost his only harpoon. The boat sailed for two hours, and two more sharks swam toward the boat. The old man slashed and killed the sharks with a long knife tied to the handle of the oar. The greedy and cruel sharks refused to give up the food they were about to eat until they died. After breaking the old man's knife, the old man continued fighting with the tiller.

Time passed quietly in the fierce battles. When night fell, the old man saw the lights of Havana. At this time, two more sharks swam over quietly. The old man was exhausted and had to rely on his feelings. Swinging the tiller and punching him hard, when the last shark attacked the big marlin's head, the old man knew that everything was over for him, and all his hard work for several days had been robbed by these greedy and cruel guys. He felt defeated, but now he didn't care.

The old man installed the remaining tiller and sailed quietly towards the port. He went ashore, tied up the boat, and lifted the mast. He stumbled along the way and rested five times before returning home.

The next day, the old man hadn't woken up yet, and many people were watching the big marlin. A fisherman measured the fish with a rope and announced loudly in surprise: "It is 18 feet long!" And Manolin brought food and comfort to the old man as always, proudly announcing: "It didn't kill you." Beat it!" After simply dealing with the remaining marlin, the old man Santiago and the child Manolin began to plan their next trip to sea. Because they all believe that in dreams, old people always see lions that give people strength and courage.
