A work of less than a hundred pages can be read and reread by generations. I entered the old life of Santiago, an old fisherman, from the simple, accurate and full of rich flavor of life. I read of his poverty and desolation, his stubbornness and unwillingness. At the same time, though he was old and frail, he still had the inherent confidence in life. He went to sea, and after a series of failures, he caught a huge and amazing fish, which he had been dreaming of for many years. After three days and nights of struggle, he finally defeated the big fish at the last moment of exhaustion and tied it to the side of his boat. In the process of fighting, he had an idea in his heart: "people are not born to be defeated." He used to shout and inspire himself: "you can kill him, but you can't defeat him." However, in the end, he failed: on the way back, hungry sharks came up one after another, and he tried his best to kill the predators one by one; when the old man returned to the shore, he brought back only a huge fish bone, a broken boat and a tired body. He failed, but his inner pride was undamaged. He failed bravely. He was a real hero of triumph. His scars were the witness of his extraordinary courage. The old man fell asleep safely in the small shack. He wasn't disappointed, he wasn't defeated, he was going to sea again in his sleep, he dreamed of the lion.

读完这篇小说，我发现，老人的故事不仅象征着人与自然的关系，而且象征着整个人类坚不可摧的精神。在现实中，他虽然失败了，但在精神上，他却是胜利者，他那顽强搏击的精神，展示了人的高贵和尊严。遍顾所有的人生，谁没有经历过失败呢？哪怕再成功的人。失败的原因可以不尽相同，但无论如何失败总是一个让你难以承受的打击。关键是你会梦见“狮子”么？你还会准备“出海”么？再出海，你就会有胜利的希望。我想，这种险恶的人生环境和这种坚忍的人生态度，正是这部作品越来越吸引人的原因。人生本来就是一种无止境的追求，至于最后是捕到一条完整的马林鱼，还是马林鱼的一副空骨头架子，这都是无所谓的，因为一个人的生命价值，已在那追捕马林鱼的过程中充分地体现了。曾经尽生命的能量，为自己的理想追求过、奋斗过的老人，不是一个真正的胜利者吗？这样的人生应该无怨无悔。
