1, San Mao's The Story of the Sahara, The Crying Camel, The Back, The Gentle Night are all true stories. After reading the back, I almost know more about her works. "The rainy season never comes again" is somewhat fictional, that is to say, the publications before San Mao went to Sahara were fictional, and most of the articles he began to write after he married Jose were true. The later works were after Jose's death. I haven't read all of them. I'm stepping up my reading.

2. Jose is real. It is not comprehensive to know in-laws from Sanmao's articles. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along with all over the world, but I believe Jose's parents also love their children. In San Mao's eyes, her mother-in-law is a little selfish and inhuman. Instead, my father-in-law loves her dearly. 4. When Sanmao is not called Ermao, Ermao is a writer and composer in Tibet, hehe. Sanmao's English name is ECHO, which was called when she first went to Spain. So foreign friends know ECHO, but they don't know Sanmao. Sanmao's article is just a pseudonym.
