The Old Man and the Sea is set in Cuba in the mid-20th century. The main character is an old fisherman named Santiago, and the supporting character is a child named Manolin. The weather-beaten old fisherman fails to catch a single fish for eighty-four days in a row, but he still refuses to admit defeat; instead, he is filled with the spirit of struggle, and finally catches a large marlin eighteen feet long and weighing 1,500 pounds on the eighty-fifth day. The big fish dragged the boat towards the sea, and the old man still pulled on it with a dead weight, even though he had no water, no food, no weapons, no assistants, and his left hand was cramped, he was not discouraged at all. After two days and two nights he finally killed the big fish and tied it to the side of the boat. But many sharks came at once to seize his booty. He killed them one by one, and in the end only a broken rudder was left as a weapon. As a result, the big fish could not escape being eaten up, and finally, the old man dragged back a set of fish bones in exhaustion. He went home and lay on his bed, and had to go back to the good old days from his dreams to forget the cruel reality.
