The Old Man and the Sea is about the fishing experience of the old fisherman Santiago. It describes the old man fighting the shark on his way back after subduing the big fish. However, the images in the works have strong symbolic significance. He uses salmon to symbolize the ideal of life and the inevitable desire of human beings as life itself, sharks to symbolize the tragic fate that cannot be shaken off, and the sea to symbolize the changeable human society, while lions are brave and strong, hate evil and can create miracles. Santiago is the representative of the "tough guy" who dares to fight against powerful forces. His unfortunate experience of fishing symbolizes that human beings are always fighting against bad luck, but they can't try to change their destiny anyway.
