Halwei Captain is a character described in the novel by Hugo & gt, a famous writer. This novel mainly describes the process of Halwei Captain being killed in a shipwreck on Normandy and selflessly saving people, and praises Halwei Captain's spirit of "being loyal to his duties and fulfilling his way of being a man".

On March 1870 and 17, two British ships, Normandy and Mary, collided. After the accident, Halway, the captain of Normandy, died while trying to escape. Halwei Captain's lofty humanitarian spirit, devotion to duty and the spirit of daring to sacrifice deeply touched the author, so Hugo wrote this article to express his praise and admiration for Halwei Captain.

After Halwei Captain solemnly declared a life-and-death discipline-"If a man dares to stand in front of a woman, you shoot him", people formed a feeling. This declaration shows the iron will and supreme authority, embodies the proper operation order of protecting the disadvantaged society first, and shows the idea that the dominant party in society (of course, men and women should be equal) should bear part of the responsibility first. Indeed, the captain has become the embodiment of a great soul at this moment, standing tall in the sky.
