Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
She uses a pen to maintain the simplicity and plainness of her personal writing.
From the distant Sahara to the Dunhuang Gobi Desert, she does not follow the crowd, nor does she interpret life, but only witnesses life.
She is the romantic, free-spirited, and true-natured Sanmao in our hearts, an eternal legend.
"The Scarecrow's Notes" is a record of Sanmao's life when she settled in the Canary Islands. She left the turbulent Sahara and found her dream home, returning to her daily life as a wife, daughter-in-law, and daughter. The bearded Jose, the dear mother-in-law, the annoying flower girl, the little giant Daniel... the various characters around her every day helped her build a colorful life. She captured all kinds of fun in life with her wonderful pen. Every trivial thing, every person, every afternoon light, has a taste, is alive, and is a footnote to love.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Sanmao (1943-1991), whose real name was Chen Maoping, changed her name to Chen Ping because she could not learn to write the character "Mao". Traveling and reading were two first-class stars in her life, mixed with happiness and pain, and she started writing purely to make her parents happy. She set foot on the vast Sahara, pursuing the nostalgia of her previous life, and married Jose in the desert. From then on, she wrote a series of prose works that swept countless readers, vividly showing the wild tenderness of the desert and the vibrant marriage life in front of everyone. "Sanmao fever" quickly swept the entire Chinese-speaking world from Taiwan and Hong Kong. However, Jose's sudden death almost made her give up her life, until she went on a trip to Central and South America, and finally picked up her pen to write again. Then she tried to write scripts and lyrics, and each time she did it, she would definitely shake people's hearts. Until one day, she played cards unconventionally like a child and wandered to a distant heaven.
