Recently, the news that Tanzanian writer Gurna won the Nobel Prize in Literature sensationalized the world, because Mr. Li has not read his works, so it is not easy to comment on it, so today I will talk about another Nobel Prize winner in literature - the iron-blooded tough man Hemingway
The so-called hemingway's iron-blooded tough guy is extremely courageous and persevering, and has the "man is either born or defeated, you can destroy him, but you can never completely defeat him!" "The spirit. The most perfect work for the tough guy image to be shaped is his "The Old Man and the Sea". To ask Hemingway why he developed such a tough guy style, the reason can be traced back to his childhood. When Hemingway grew up, he was extremely ashamed and disgusted by the memories of being dressed as a woman, and warned his mother that he was not allowed to tell the story of being dressed as a female doll, otherwise he would stop living expenses for his mother. Plus Hemingway's dad was also a tough guy, taking him to smoke, drink, and hunt when Hemingway was 10 years old. In this way, we can also understand why Hemingway pursued the image of a tough guy so much, which is inseparable from his childhood experiences.
Hemingway, dressed as a female doll
During world war I, Hemingway went to the battlefields of Europe and ran vigorously to the most dangerous front lines, just to observe the war up close. In order to save an Italian wounded man, Hemingway was injured by a shell, leaving more than 200 shell fragments all over his body, but just after that, he was broken by machine gun fire and broke his knee, and he still endured severe pain and sent the wounded back to safety. Afterwards, after a total of 13 ammunition removal operations, more than 10 pieces of ammunition could not be removed and remained permanently in his body. The doctor was ready to saw off his leg, but Hemingway said, "I'd rather die than saw off my leg, and he doesn't want to walk through the lower half of his body with a crutch!" Just when the doctor was not paying attention, Hemingway took the pencil knife and went to dig up the remaining shrapnel, the doctor forcefully stopped, and was impressed by his spirit of pursuing freedom, and then did his best to save his leg, after which Hemingway discarded the crutch in a very short time and returned to health. But the after-effects of walking and limping accompanied Hemingway forever throughout his life.
After the end of World War I, Hemingway, who had lost his passion, ran back to Africa to hunt lions and elephants. He then lived in Cuba for many years and wrote here, "The Sun Also Rises" and "Farewell to Weapons" were also created at this time, and the purpose of writing was to reflect the cruelty of war and call for peace and unity. One day, Hemingway encountered a storm at sea, and the fisherman Fuentes rescued Hemingway from the boat, after which the two formed a deep friendship and often went out to sea to fish together. Once, the fisherman Fuentes caught a huge marlin, because of its huge size, dragged too long at sea, resulting in only a huge skeleton brought back, yes, this is the prototype character of "The Old Man and the Sea", Hemingway buried the story in his heart, and by 1951, he spent about 8 weeks to write the amazing masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea", which sold 5.3 million copies in 48 hours and won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. He expressed through the tough guy image of the fishing old man that "man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated"! Such a tough guy spirit was also worshipped by people who had just experienced war at that time.
When World War II broke out, Hemingway, a journalist, disguised his ship as a ration ship for Nazi submarines, searched around for German ships, and said harshly: to crash the German ships! But until the end of World War II, Hemingway did not encounter German ships; after that, Hemingway went to the European battlefield, where he buried grenades in German officers' forts; and followed the Americans to the Nopandy landings. He also came to the front line of Shaoguan in Guangdong as a reporter to interview, along the way, he recorded the cruel behavior of the Japanese army like a beast, on the way to the war zone, he also used a dagger to hand blade a devil, after returning to China, he announced all the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in China, so that the world could see the inhuman behavior of the Japanese in China!
After the end of World War II, Hemingway stayed in Cuba, where he could fish, hunt, box, drink, write, and enjoy his hobbies, but he chose to end his life with a double-barreled shotgun at the age of 62, this time, he did not choose to fight again, and left a passage: the greatest satisfaction of a person's life is his own satisfaction with himself. Many people speculate that the Hemingway family has a suicide gene, because his father, brother, and grandfather also died by suicide. Some people speculate that Hemingway was sexually promiscuous all his life, his wives and children were numerous, and he suffered from sexual dysfunction in his later years, could not bear the humiliation, and chose to commit suicide; others speculated: Hemingway was monitored by the US military in his later years, Hemingway realized this, and informed others of the news of his being monitored, but no one believed him, and he was not understood for a long time, and over time, he suffered from serious mental illness, and the male lion chose to commit suicide.
Hemingway showed the hardness of his life to the world, so that the world was greatly encouraged, so that people had faith in their hearts, and his achievements should never be worn away by the final suicide!
