Among his books, the old Man and the Sea is the most famous one. The novel made Hemingway win the Nobel Prize in 1954.And the main character—Santiago becomes the typical “tough guy” in the literature. In this novel, Hemingway tells us the life-and-death battle between the old man Santiago and the giant marlin, which reveals the extreme courage and spirit “A man can be destroyed but not defeated”. Its image “tough guy” is also called “Code Hero” which is embodied in “grace under pressure”, that is, the principles of life that one doesn’t bend before difficulties and doesn’t bend under the pressure. In the Old Man and the Sea, the old fisherman Santiago embodies Hemingway’s principles of life that one maintains dignity in failure thus gaining a moral victory, namely, one has his own principles in courage and endurance. In this paper, an interpretation of the Hemingway Code Hero and its epoch connotation is made from the old Man and the Sea.

I. Introduction
The Old Man and the Sea was written by Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899-July2, 1961), who was one of the most famous American modern novelists in the 20th century and the winner of Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 by his masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea in 1952.The work tells us such a story: an old Cuban fisherman Santiago and his battle with a great marlin. After eighty-four days of not catching even a fish, Santiago did not give up. Eventually he caught a giant marlin, killed it with much struggle and tied it to the boat. But on his way home, he met giant sharks and suffered the life-and-death battle. At last there was only the bald backbone of the fish left.
In the novel, Hemingway creates a hero who shows the world the author’s lifelong belief in “grace under pressure”. For this, many critics have tried to decode it from different perspectives, one of which is the world outlook that is reflected on “tough guy” or “Code Hero”. It is also known to all that “A man can be destroyed but not defeated” is the essence of “Code Hero” which is an optimistic world outlook and the aesthetic faith in life. Therefore, the significance of “Code Hero” is obvious. 《老人与海》“准则英雄”时代内涵:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_18736.html
