Sanmao became delirious because of Jose's death and finally committed suicide. Is their love really as romantic as the book says?

Elementary school began to read Sanmao. My mother is very busy at work and often takes me to the studio to work overtime. After finishing my homework, I was really bored, so I began to learn to read the books on my mother's bookshelf casually. It was at that time that the story of Sahara was turned out.

Since then, I have always had a soft spot for Egypt and Sahara. I find the content described in it extremely interesting. One of the most impressive clips is that when they take a shower, they need to use a pool to store water on the top floor. As a result, the middle is still full of bubbles and there is no water. Later, when I watched her "Rolling Red Dust" and "Dear San Mao", I felt that I had lost this interest.

I don't know whether she made Sahara or Sahara made her, but it must be admitted that for Sanmao, most people have the impression that she is combined with Sahara, and of course Jose. Jose is eight years younger than Sanmao, and their acquaintance originated in Spain.

Sanmao's first love was named Liang Guangming, whose pen name was Shu Fan, and she was a famous talent in the university. She is rebellious and dropped out of school early, but she has an extraordinary love for literary writing, and she has also obtained a privileged place to go to a cultural university through self-study at home.

As soon as Sanmao, who loves literature, entered the university, she met a gifted scholar who wrote poems and published books. How can she not fall in love? However, it is a common fault that literati are too emotional, and they are always particularly stubborn emotionally. San Mao is getting tired of Shu Fan. She wanted to bind Shu Fan with marriage, but what she got was Shu Fan's boredom.

1967, San Mao threatened to go abroad to Shu Fan, but Shu Fan remained indifferent. San Mao, who was hurt by love, chose to study in Spain, thus knowing the young Jose. San Mao was 24 years old when we first met, and Jose 16 years old, so the Spanish teenager fell in love with this girl from China at first sight.

How many adults take people like children seriously? What's more, San Mao is still immersed in the final emotional injury, and it is even more impossible to respond to Jose's pursuit.

Later, Sanmao came back from school, was specially hired as a teacher by the Cultural University, and had a fiance who was about to enter the marriage hall. However, things were confusing and her fiance died suddenly on the eve of the wedding. San Mao returned to Spain to play again and reunited with Jose, who had been separated for six years.

1973, San Mao and Jose formally got married in Ivan, a small town in the Sahara desert. Sanmao's works describe the dribs and drabs of their life in the desert. They are not bored, but moved by the ever-flowing water. They have always loved each other, and their feelings have never cooled down.

1979, Jose died of diving, and San Mao was heartbroken, ending his wandering career. But she never got out of the influence of this relationship. Her spirit became trance because of Jose's departure, and finally she ended her life in 199 1 with a nylon stocking.

It can be said that the love between Sanmao and Jose is envied by many people because of the influence of Sanmao's works. Who doesn't want this kind of romantic life that only lives with his lover and wanders with the secular? However, Ma Zhongxin, a professional writer, traveler and explorer and now a special photojournalist for National Geographic magazine, has a different view.

He personally visited Sanmao's former residence in Western Sahara and interviewed their neighbors and friends nearby. He came to the conclusion that Sanmao is a rebellious person who does whatever he says. Throughout her life, she has been "performing" and "showing". It is also said that Sanmao and Jose are not happy at all. Jose would rather dive outside to avoid Sanmao than go home.

Such words undoubtedly angered many "Sanmao fans". People who like San Mao say, who can pretend for decades? And if San Mao and Jose are really unhappy, they are not short of money. Why don't they go back to their homes and live together in the Sahara? What's more, as we all know, San Mao has been depressed since Jose's death.

But then again, Sanmao himself once said: "My greatest creation is my life", "Sanmao is Sanmao, I am me, and you have all been cheated by me." In this case, then her Sahara life may indeed have literary elements. But what is the truth? With the death of Jose and San Mao, no one can tell. At least her works can bring love and emotion to readers, which is enough.
