Features: A young American writer, Scripps ONeill, has his wife and daughter leave him. He leaves in a snowstorm to find work and meets Diana, a middle-aged waitress with a passion for literature, in a small diner. They fall for each other instantly, get married quickly, and he ends up working as a piece-rate laborer at the city's water pump factory. Unbeknownst to him, the new waitress who replaces Diana, Mandy, is well-versed in literary anecdotes and is eloquent, captivating Scripps. Yogurt Johnson, a worker at the same factory as Scripps, had a "fling" in Paris during World War I but ended up being tricked in a "fishing expedition" and never wanted to find a woman again. However, when a naked Native American woman and was chased out, Yogurt, wandering aimlessly on the street, follows her, takes off his clothes one by one, and walks into the night with her. At the turn of winter and spring in the northern mountain city of Michigan, a series of strange events occur, forming the core plot of Hemingway's early novella "The Spring Tide," which is full of life. "The Old Man and the Sea" tells the story of an old fisherman's struggle with a big fish, with a profound theme that won Hemingway the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature. It has been widely acclaimed in China. This time, the translator has revised the translation and included it in "The Collected Works of Hemingway."
