I was deeply moved by the old man. Maybe he is just an example of failure in real life, but he is the winner in spirit. No matter how difficult it was, he never gave up and always tried to challenge various difficulties, not to escape. Although the road of life is tough, we must pursue our dreams and never give up. Whether we end up with a complete marlin or a skeleton of marlin, the value of life has been fully reflected in the process. As long as we can learn to accept failure and meet challenges bravely, we are all winners! It is "A man can be destroyed, but not defeated!" that the story wants to tell us.
