Being superior to others is not noble, and true nobility should be superior to one's past self.
—Hemingway
In the summer of 1899, the hot noon gave birth to a doll falling to the ground, and everyone was extremely excited, and the arrival of the child brought instant happiness to the family.
He was Ernest Miller Hemingway. American writer and journalist, considered one of the most famous novelists of the 20th century.
His novels are full of drama and originality, the rebirth of the lonely in the form of a single shadow and poverty; it is the awakening of the bystanders in the mountains and rivers that have no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and the village is awakened. Anyone who loves Hemingway will regard him as the spiritual icon of an era, so he is called a "lost generation" with a certain connection to his childhood.
Hemingway grew up with his mother, a musician, but from an early age he loved the wilderness, inherited his father's character, loved nature, loved pastoral life, loved tranquility and beauty - forests, lakes, rivers, mountains, every stop is a unique and hobby of life.
In 1913, as described in his book, the "tough guy image" officially became a member of the middle school era. Due to his outstanding achievements in literature and sports, he successfully became the editor of the journal. After graduating from high school, he worked as a reporter for the important "Kancheng Star" in the United States, and began his first career.
However, his legendary life began, he fought for the United States through World War I and tried to join the team. Due to his vision impairment, he was not enough to be a member of the team. After joining the Red Cross, he was sent as an ambulance driver to bandage the wounds of soldiers wounded during the war, and became a war rescuer. After months of relief, he moved from Italy to Germany to Paris, spending hours in a small hostel bombed by the Germans.
When he went to the vicinity of Milan, he saw corpses mourning all over the field, and there were more male corpses than female corpses under his feet, which made him feel the cruelty and ferocity of war.
So he couldn't help himself, and he asked himself to become a war correspondent on his own, hanging his identity as a war correspondent deeply on the chest of his clothes.
He was married four times in his life, and because of the unhappiness of his feelings, he became increasingly stubborn.
Between 1920 and 1921, Hemingway settled in a small hostel in Chicago, where he worked as a journalist. He married his first wife and gained unparalleled love. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and they left each other because of emotional disputes.
In December of the same year, Hemingway traveled to Paris as a war correspondent to cover the Greek-Turkish War and called for an end to the devastation it had brought to humanity.

From 1937 to 1938, Hemingway again worked as a war correspondent on the front lines of the Spanish Civil War.
He participated in the war to liberate Paris and thus won the victory.
Hemingway hated the war for causing him more physical and mental troubles than ever before, and his participation in the First World War left more than two hundred pieces of shrapnel on his body. In the same year, witnessing the feat of the Spanish people fighting fascism, he published the anti-fascist novel "For Whom the Death Knell" was set in the Spanish Civil War.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > life always makes us scaly, but in the end, those wounded places will become our strongest places</h1>
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, he quickly changed his yacht to a patrol boat to scout the German Nazis, and in the eyes of hundreds of soldiers, this was just a small member of the armed team, without any excuse to prevent the outbreak of this war, but his indomitable righteousness showed that the fearless vanguard had the conviction to cut through the thorns and saw that the tough guy wanted to win and lose.
In 1944, Hemingway accompanied the U.S. army to Europe, where he was seriously wounded in a plane crash, but after recovering, he continued to go deep behind enemy lines.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > career paths, the first hobby of writing. We experience life as nothing more than facing death and aspire to be a time planner</h1>
In July 1961, he could not stand the shadow left on him by the war, the lack of inspiration caused by the collapse of his body, and the emotional destruction caused by the dissatisfaction of marriage. Finally, he raised his beloved revolver, blasted off half of his head, and made a final farewell to the world. He chose to die for justice, for the marriage of the first half of his life, for the innocence of his childhood, the love of nature, the inexhaustible source.
He fell in love with writing:
In 1918, he participated in the rescue team and wrote "Farewell, Weapon"
In 1923, after the birth of his first son, he wrote "Three Stories and Ten Poems"
In 1925, the short story "In Our Time" was published and showed a unique writing style
In 1926, he married his second wife and wrote "The Sun Also Rises"
In 1931, he moved to Key West and accumulated material for Death in the Afternoon
In 1933, hunting in Africa, examining the impressions of the locals, he wrote "The Snow of Kilimanjaro"
In 1940, the anti-fascist novel "For Whom the Death Knell Tolls" was published against the background of the Spanish Civil War.
In 1950, "Crossing the River into the Forest" set in Venice after World War II was published
In 1951, "The Old Man and the Sea" came out and won the Nobel Prize in Literature
In our great era today, there is no shortage of great literary heroes who have been trained. And literature has influenced our generation or even generations, but it never fades, it has always been deeply rooted in our hearts.
Over the past few decades, there has been a strong interest in literature, and these new works have emerged in the midst of thorns, and there has been a lot of talk about the extraordinary American writer who has both the love of the moment and the mission of reverence for nature. His work has grown in competition and prosperity, and has quickly become a benchmark in the times, which is closely related to his life experience.
The temperament of the literati is very different, just like Mark Twain, who has experienced the development of primary capitalism to imperialism, and his ideas and creations have also changed from brisk to spicy irony.
So:
A begging tramp is not enough to be sympathetic in the eyes of historians, but in the eyes of literary scholars, it seems to be very worthy of sympathy. They can predict the course of development of things, they can describe the inspiration in their hearts; just like Nostradamus, the author of "Centuries", they can judge the future development trend by knowing the signs of things.
The same is true of Hemingway's work, who has lived through the war era, he does not regard writing as a casual thing, and his heart has long been integrated into the shadow of calm thinking. Never joke with such people, because their writing is not mixed with fantasy and any emotional color, but to do strict and conscientious, this style is mainly manifested in the vivid dialogue and the confrontation of language, prompting them to have a victorious belief.
In him, that exuberant vitality developed in its own unique way, without a hint of the pessimism and disillusionment of the age.
Hemingway firmly grasped the pen toss and turn, without the slightest hesitation, just as the book "The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of the old Cuban fisherman Santiago who after 84 days of fishing and finding nothing, and finally fought with tuna on the 85th day, which is the framework of a fishing and hunting story, but vividly shows the spirit of struggle that people are not afraid of hardships and indomitable in difficulties.
As he put it: "A man is not born to be defeated, and although you can destroy him, you cannot defeat him." ”
The author uses a bold hand to hammer the tone, the storyline gradually unfolds, and the vivid details are slowly presented, which is the author's praise for the victory of the doer who is not afraid of hardships in real life.
Perhaps, the examples of life are too numerous, and we will inevitably lose our way of sailing because of trivial things; but in any case, those places where we have been seriously poked will make us more robust because of the grinding of time.
You have to believe that everything is a matter of time.
Time can erase the edges and corners left by time, but it cannot erase the perseverance hidden deep in your heart.
