Because of Sanmao, I learned about the magnificence of the African desert.
At that age when she had not experienced the world, because of her story, inexplicably rose in her heart a heart of fascination for the African continent.
This fascination, after graduation, became a reality.
French graduates, going to Africa, of course. Otherwise, studying in Europe? I didn't have any money, so I had to retreat to the second place. Going to Africa is also an eye-opener.
I went and went, but none of the stories that Sanmao wrote about the intestines didn't happen to me. Although the romantic illusion was shattered, the extraordinary scenery of the land was preserved in the heart. Let's call it realism.
It's also worth it to dream of shattering, at least to see it with your own eyes, not hearsay.
Just like Sanmao said in the book: The process of life, whether it is Yangchun white snow or green vegetables and tofu, I have to taste what it is like, so as not to go through such a thing in vain!
All the plants on the african land are primitive and vigorous.
The posture of those trees, because they stood in that sad land year after year, accepting the baptism of heat and drought, also changed like people who had experienced vicissitudes, and everywhere they were permeated with an indomitable vitality.
Let people see it and have a kind of emotion. Just by looking at the branches of the tree, one has an epiphany about the infinity of the power of life.
Presumably, living in such a land will also give birth to an infinite courage. It's like Sanmao and Jose building their own lives in the desert.
The first time I read "The Story of the Sahara", it was mostly novel, but now when I read it again, I can feel the loneliness of Sanmao, and the ubiquitous love of her parents between the lines.
The restaurant in the desert, thanks to the mother's care for her daughter, was wrapped into boxes of dry goods and food, and one package after another came from afar to open.
In the Sahara, where material resources are scarce, food is precious. Even more precious than this is the love of the mother.
The huge amount of money that first went to the desert belt is a father's strong material support for his daughter, tangible support and support
Intangible support is equally important.
Think of Sanmao's many times in her life on the brink of death, thanks to her parents who wholeheartedly tolerated her, and left her in the human world again and again.
If it were not for such a love as broad as the earth, I am afraid that there would not be sanmao as we later became familiar.
Sanmao, who wrote this book, may be very lonely, and desert life may be more monotonous and boring, but at this time, she reveals happiness and happiness between the lines.
Thank you Sanmao, it is you who let me know that a person's life can live an infinitely broad life.
