There are many researches about the old man and the sea in China and abroad, such as “The tough guy” “Heroism” “Iceberg theory”. However, there are little comments about the little boy.

The symbol of love, loyalty and spiritual continuation in the little boy highlight the old man from all aspects, Spread the infinite positive energy between the lines and enrich the meanings of literary works in details. Therefore, the little boy is an indispensable and significant role to be considered and explored.
