Fearless under pressure

When the teenage 'Pi' managed to reach the coast of Mexico and lay on the beach, I woke up from that fantasy world. "The Fantastic Drifting of Pi" directed by Ang Lee is really wonderful. At the same time, I also deeply admire Pi's courage and endurance. Pi's father is a zoo director, and his family and animals are tragically shipwrecked on their way to Canada. The ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean, but the young Pi and a tiger survive. The bereaved Pi was devastated and terrified when he found the tiger. But he used courage and stamina to tame the tiger and reach the coast of Mexico. Although Young Pi is afraid of tigers, survival tells him that he must have the courage to live with tigers in order to survive. So he made his own rod for fishing and fed fish to tigers. The power of courage made him dare to get on the boat and divide the territory with the tiger. During their voyage they encountered huge waves, schools of flying fish, whales, etc., and even an island that can corrode anything. Instead of dying in these disasters, he persevered and used courage and endurance to overcome one cataclysm after another! It can be said that courage and endurance are the foundation for the survival of the juvenile faction! Life may not be smooth sailing, but it takes courage and endurance to overcome difficulties. The tiger in the film is like the difficulties in our life, we must have the courage to challenge and overcome it, so that "it" can be tamed so that it can adapt to changes. Be more patient to face failure and adversity. When a person is in a desperate situation, courage will burst out from him, which is one of the most precious spirits. Courage and patience make a person strong, cowardice and impatience make a person small. As long as you have the courage to challenge difficulties, no matter how brutal the setbacks will be defeated; as long as you have the endurance to face failure, no matter how great adversity will be turned around. "The Fantastic Drift of the Young Pi" is not only a beautiful story, but also a profound philosophy. Courage is the magic weapon to overcome difficulties, and endurance is the key to turning the tide. Courage and endurance will lead us to success.
