Introduction · · · · · ·
"The Scarecrow's Notes" records every bit of Sanmao's life after she settled in the Canary Islands. The language is plain and simple, and the interest and helplessness in it are simple and humorous, which makes people laugh and sigh. Perhaps, it is this simple life that gave Sanmao unlimited creative inspiration. The main content of "The Scarecrow's Notes" is about the bandit, the desert and the night with a knife, the free and easy tour of the seven islands, the death of a stranger, the bearded man and me, my dear mother-in-law, such a life...
About the Author · · · · · ·
His real name was Chen Maoping, but because he could not learn to write the character "Mao", he changed his name to Chen Ping.
At the age of thirteen, he ran away from home to travel to Xiaoliuqiu. When he was in junior high school, he skipped school and went to a cemetery to read idle books.
Traveling and reading are the two top stars in her life, mixing the happiest and the most painful things in them.
She had no concept of numbers, refused to work for money, and initially wrote purely to make her parents happy.
She saw a photo of the Sahara Desert and felt the homesickness of her past life, so she decided to move there. Jose, who was deeply in love with her, followed her without saying a word.
Then she married Jose in the desert, and wrote a series of prose works that swept countless readers, vividly displaying the wild tenderness of the desert and the vibrant marriage life in front of everyone. The "Sanmao fever" quickly swept the entire Chinese-speaking world from Taiwan and Hong Kong, and "wandering literature" became a cultural phenomenon!
Then, her stable life suddenly took a turn for the worse. She almost gave up her life after the heartbreaking death of her beloved Jose. It was not until she went on a trip to Central and South America that she finally started writing again. She then tried writing scripts and lyrics, and each time she did it, it would touch people's hearts.
In the end, she did not play by the rules again like she did in her childhood, escaped to a faraway place where no one knew, and continued to wander around the world with a free and unruly soul.
She is the most romantic, true-hearted, brave and unrestrained person in our hearts——
