"Send You a Horse" Author: Sanmao

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.

"Give You a Horse" is a record of some things Sanmao recorded after she settled in Taipei. The content is complex, including travel notes, letters to students, and of course more of her understanding of life. It is very different from the writing style of the previous books. Between the lines are deep thoughts on life and love for family and friends. Sanmao loves horses, loves their forms that are intertwined with majesty, mystery and vitality, and also loves their free souls that are not easily controlled by people. She really wants to give a horse to everyone in the world, raise it in her heart, dreams, and fantasies, and pretend to be a dream knight, and travel with the horse to every corner of the soul.

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.
