Later, he went to France as a foreign correspondent for the "Toronto Daily Star" and began to publish works in newspapers and periodicals. The first collection of short stories, "In Our Time", was published in 1925. In the 1940s, he published his famous work "The Sun Also Rises", which describes the confusion, hesitation and disillusionment of a group of young people living in Europe after the war. The novel is called a representative work of the lost generation. The short story collections "Men Without Women" (1927) and "The Winner Gets Nothing" (193) have created a "tough guy character" who is not afraid of danger and regards death as home, and established his status as a master of short stories.

In 1960, Hemingway's passion for writing must have made him extremely miserable. He was greatly weakened physically, his tall body shrank, his face was haggard, and he endured pain. While he was in the Mayo Sanitarium, the diagnosis was grim: high blood pressure, possibly diabetes (a condition that had afflicted his father), and an iron-metabolism disorder, a rare disease that threatens major organs. Psychologically, he was worse. He could hardly speak, was anxious, and suffered from severe depression - Seymour Betsky and Leslie Fiedler visited in November 1960 I passed him by and wanted to invite him to give a lecture at the University of Montana. I later wrote that he was like a "primary school student without any ideas." In the spring of 1961, he underwent twenty-five electrotherapy sessions to relieve depression. He stayed in the Mayo Sanitarium for a month, and shortly after returning to Kent, on the morning of June 2, 1961, he put the muzzle of a silver-inlaid shotgun at the corner of his mouth, and the two triggers clicked together.
