"Every time I miss you, a grain of sand falls from the sky, and the Sahara desert is formed. Every time I miss you, a drop of water will fall from the sky, thus forming the Pacific Ocean. " This sentence is thought to come from this book in many places, but it is actually not the language in the book. It should be a beautiful comment on San Mao. But it does not prevent countless young artists from being full of fantasies and yearning for the Sahara desert.
In fact, their life in the desert is no different from our usual rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea. Jose works hard to make money, even if he is engaged in high-risk work, it is more difficult to see a doctor in the local area and it is even more difficult to buy fresh vegetables. He can't eat the delicious food he wants, nor can he feel the convenience of modern civilization. It is even more impossible to watch TV and brush WeChat online.
Just how does Sanmao treat life? Personally, I especially like her persistence and fanaticism. In daily helpless days, she still chased the stars in the Sahara desert.
For a romantic, life in Sahara is unbearable, but it has also become one of her poems. What is the value of human existence if all secular standards and visions are put aside? Is it secular life? Or the journey of your life?
She and Jose were walking in the desert and registered to get married. In places where restaurants are hard to find, only happiness overflows during the wedding without catering service.
In fact, San Mao and Jose's life was not easy at that time, so they had to leave gran canaria to work in the remote La Palma Island, but they were happy to have each other.
Of course, as can be seen from the book, Sanmao loves this small town near the Sahara desert. She and Jose crossed the desert many times, traveled and ventured into the desert. All kinds of stories happened were wonderful and unforgettable for the audience, which was very acceptable to the audience, but they both enjoyed these experiences.
These short stories make this book full of vitality. Because there is a companion lover, this wandering difficulty can be described by light and humorous words.
In San Mao's pen, Sahara is such a beautiful place with magnificent scenery and amazing landscape. Of course, some Saharans seem to have retained many backward customs. In their world, women have no position. They can't take off their headscarves easily. They get married at the age of 65,438+02, and they have no chance to learn knowledge. They seldom take a bath and don't go to see a doctor when they are sick.
But their generations have thrived there, just as Sanmao is interested in some of their customs and disgusted with their bad habits. It is also a small world with its own rules of existence.
Personally, I like to dress up the family in the cemetery as the magazine wants to recommend, and start a family from scratch.
Because every piece of decoration and furniture is hard-won, but it is destiny takes a hand, such as all kinds of furniture made by Jose himself, sofas made of coffin boards, painted stones bought by the old man in the desert, and all kinds of decorations picked up in the garbage.
In short, things have their own personal participation, and it is worthwhile to spend some money to make life beautiful for the sake of beauty.
Many people once doubted the authenticity of this book and Jose, but I still believe that this story really exists. Words may be a little flattering, but what happened must have a prototype.
The love between San Mao and Jose is real, and it is especially lucky to find a soul mate. They share common values and respect each other's lives. So later, Jose left first. Sanmao couldn't forget it and finally chose to commit suicide.
Then talk about their real home in a small town near the Sahara desert.
San Mao and Jose live in Tirda, a seaside town in gran canaria. With regard to the introduction of this island, in Sanmao's words, gran canaria is a very commercialized place. Because of the comfortable climate, countless Europeans come here for vacation and shopping in winter. It has long been an international tourist city.
Sanmao doesn't like the prosperity that tourists like, but she lives here because it is closest to the Sahara desert that she loves. She and Jose chose a house far from the city, on a hillside not far from this valley.
When I wrote this article, I felt that I had read a travel book. The author went to La Palma to explore Jose's grave. La Palma Island covers an area of 728 square kilometers and has a population of less than 654.38 million. In the middle is Ta Briante Crater, which has become a national park. Its capital, Santa Cruz, is a port and the place where Jose worked in his early years.
Jose's tomb
Facts and truth are often colder than imagined. Just the journey of life accompanied by relatives is still enough to move us.
