The story created a classic tough guy image. Tells the story of Santiago Cuba old man in the boundless sea fish caught eight days, but in the eighth day of the story, he caught a big marlin in the open sea, the old man in fighting with the marlin hand slashed, but he never give up, finally around three days later, will it uniform.

However, Santiago is not good luck, because he after uniform marlin, a grey whale sharks can smell the flavor of the marlin, he swam down to Santiago's fishing boat, ready to eat the marlin, so injured Santiago was at grey whale sharks and picked up the spear, when the moment of the assassination of grey whale sharks, have bite a piece of fish meat, grey whale shark defeated, but as a result of marlin tail meat is bitten off, so much more blood flow, it will let more sharks smell marlin, to marlin. Later, again there are two sharks come, really narrow scalloped hammerhead, shovelnose, but were Santiago uniforms, can be on the way back to Hong Kong, Santiago and ran into a large group of sharks, at this time of Santiago was exhausted, but Santiago also forcibly hold himself with the shark fight, even though he went the full, but in the end the big marlin was eaten, the old man back to the port of big marlin only a skeleton.

So I understand the life road twists and turns, long and full of challenge, but as long as our unremitting efforts, no matter the result is failure or success, is worth people respect.

故事塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。讲述了古巴的桑提亚哥老人在茫茫的大海钓了8天的鱼都一无所获，然而在故事的第8天，他在远海中钓到了一条巨大的马林鱼，老人虽然在与马林鱼的搏斗中手被割破，但他始终没有放弃，最后在周旋了三天后，将它制服。

然而，桑提亚哥的运气并不好，因为他在制服马林鱼后，一条灰鲸鲨就闻到了马林鱼的味道，便游到了桑提亚哥的渔船旁，准备吃掉马林鱼，于是，受伤的桑提亚哥便又拿起了鱼叉朝灰鲸鲨刺去，当灰鲸鲨被刺的一瞬间，已经咬下了一块鱼尾上的肉，灰鲸鲨被打败了，但由于马林鱼的尾巴上的肉被咬掉了，所以血就流得更加多了，这便让更多鲨鱼闻到马林鱼的气味，过来吃马林鱼。之后，真的又有两条鲨鱼来了，分别是窄头双髻鲨、铲鲨，但都被桑提亚哥制服了，可在回港的路上，桑提亚哥又碰见了一大群鲨鱼，这时的桑提亚哥已是筋疲力竭，但桑提亚哥还强行地撑着自己与鲨鱼搏斗，虽然他使出了全力，但最后大马林鱼还是被吃掉了，老人回港时大马林鱼只剩下一副骨架了。

由此我明白了人生的道路曲折、漫长、充满了挑战，但是只要我们坚持不懈努力过，不管结果是失败还是成功，都是值得人们尊敬的。
