1 The Old Man and the Sea
A man can be destroyed, but not defeated.
The background is Cuba in the middle of the twentieth century. The protagonist is an old fisherman named San Diego, and the supporting role is a child named Manorine. The old fisherman, who is in his twilight years, has not caught a fish for 84 days in a row, but he still refuses to give up. Instead, he was full of the spirit of struggle, and finally caught a marlin 18 feet long and weighing 1,500 pounds on the 85th day. The big fish dragged the boat to the sea, but the old man still clung to it. Even without water, food, weapons and assistants, he is not discouraged at all. After two days and two nights, he finally killed the big fish and tied it to the boat. But many sharks immediately came to snatch his trophy. He killed them one by one, leaving only a broken tiller as a weapon. As a result, big fish can't escape the fate of being eaten up. Finally, the old man dragged back a pair of fish bones exhausted. He went home to lie in bed and had to look for the good old days from his dreams to forget the cruel reality.

3 "Knowledge Tree"
Everyone has secrets of life. Where is Peter? Brenci's secret is never shared with his friend Morgan? It is the most important achievement of Marlowe's life to make any comments on his so-called works. In this regard, he is convinced that he is impeccable and can never give orders to others. On any occasion, or in the face of any embarrassing situation, he can't leave any trace of whether he is lying or telling the truth. Even for a man with great achievements, this achievement is remarkable-he is 50 years old; The shackles of never being married; Life is cautious and always passable; I loved Mrs. Marlowe for many years, but I never said it; And most importantly, he made a final evaluation of himself-he is extremely obedient and humble by nature, but what makes him most complacent is his ability to control the situation at the above-mentioned important moments in life. In this way, it is really amazing that the person he trusts most is the person he has the most reservations about. He can't tell Mr. Marlowe that the sight of the multiplied marble sculptures in his studio makes people miserable, and even if time goes by, it can't be reduced at all. He can't tell Mrs. Marlowe, at least he thinks that as an excellent man, he can't tell Mrs. Marlowe-he has never been married because he has a beautiful woman in his heart. As I said before, Peter's success in these creations is not only because he didn't show disdain, but mainly because he didn't hide his heart in other ways.
