In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago said, "A man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated." Talk about your understanding of this sentence with the characters.
This sentence not only embodies the declaration of human resistance to fate, but also reflects Hemingway's heart. In the article, the old man did not hesitate to go to sea in the face of 84 days of no harvest and dismissive speculation from people. It is not so much to survive as to prove one's strength and show one's youth to outsiders. Man's life is a struggle, a unremitting struggle with fate. Perhaps these challenges and struggles are enough to destroy people's health, but as long as a person maintains a strong fighting spirit and the spirit of not giving in in the face of any difficulties and obstacles, he will always be a winner. -Never give up, overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and overcome the determination and courage of all enemies.
