The old man is a typical tough guy, although he failed. But more importantly, his indomitable spirit. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. Old people have indomitable enterprising spirit in the face of violence and oppression, and have a kind of "calmness under heavy pressure" in the face of unpredictable nature and miserable life.
Isn't that what real society and life are like?
In reality, isn't the mysterious "sea" a modern society full of various pressures, crises and difficulties? And isn't the shark a symbol of the crisis and suffering that we may always encounter? The "old man" is a representative who never bows his head and goes forward without hesitation under the pressure of life and life.
Faced with all kinds of difficulties and dangers, each of us can make our own choices. We can either give up or fight tenaciously. Sometimes, the result of resistance is not as good as we thought, but we can't see the result we want when we give up. "The blade comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom is bitter and cold." That's what happened.
Let's learn from the indomitable spirit of the old fisherman in the face of blows and difficulties, be brave in resisting, be firm and have no regrets.
