After reading the Story of the Sahara, it was a rainy evening, and the yellow weather outside the window showed a glimmer of light. Just like this book, there was a lively atmosphere in the depths. The master introduced me into her life with wonderful stories and beautiful prose. Those stories seem to happen around us, and only one heart follows her, either happy or sad.
The author San Mao, a famous female writer in Taiwan Province Province, once laughed at herself that her articles were not worth 30 cents. She once lived in Canary in the western Sahara desert, and the story of Sahara was based on local life. This is a series of touching and sincere stories.
Sanmao is the strange woman who resolutely walked into the Sahara desert because of the attraction of a National Geographic magazine. He has traveled to many countries and countless cities. She described the hard life in the desert in ordinary and simple language, but it was so wonderful, thrilling and exciting. She spoke easily about her life in the Sahara desert in the tone of a wanderer. The book *** 15 parts, each part is a short story, but the scattered life details and life experiences constitute the central theme with this concentrated philosophy of life. This book includes the desolate scenery of the desert, her love and marriage life with her husband Jose, and communication with Saharans.
This book describes the happy life of San Mao and her husband Jose from beginning to end. Whether Jose treats fans like rain, or their simple wedding, or they go fishing at the seaside to sell, or they build their most beautiful house from scratch in the desert, they are permeated with this deep and warm love. Let readers feel their colorful marriage life. They are like children who will never grow up, lying in the arms of the desert and living together.
The story of Sahara is full of romantic and affectionate exoticism. She let me know the novelty of the desert and the joy of life. There are big tents, tin huts, dromedary camels and flocks of goats everywhere ... Sanmao, who claims to be a stranger in the desert, always uses strange thinking to transform some new things, such as buying stones engraved with various patterns in the cemetery, begging for rain for fans, making stools with discarded tires, making decorations with soda bottles and camel bones, and making cushions with rotten sheepskin. There is also the unique national culture of the Saharan people, such as 10-year-old doll bride Guka, special wedding ceremony and magical Mauritanian witchcraft.
Starting from scratch is my favorite article. Their dilapidated and empty room has become the most beautiful house in the desert through the diligent furniture making, wall painting and ingenious arrangement of San Mao in Jose. This reminds me of what my mother said when I was a child: no matter what the situation is, no matter what you do, as long as you work hard, you will definitely get something.
San Mao in the desert is tolerant and kind. Neighbors kept borrowing things from her, but she happily gave them to each other; She is willing to help her neighbors with any minor illness, even if she is carrying Jose's back. She has done her best. Therefore, her popularity is very good. Their friends are banks, post offices, factories and shops, and many people in the town are their good friends. San Mao said in the book: Long-term desert life only makes people learn a little benefit, and any little enjoyment in life will inevitably make people's hearts infinitely satisfied and sublimated. Indeed, they live so well in a place where ordinary outsiders are crazy. I think this is probably the reason. Sanmao is good at finding fun in life. She teaches Sahrawi women who can't read or even count money.
San Mao often said, "Life is not about length, but whether we live happily." We should learn the geometry of life from Sanmao, be brave in trying new things and constantly learn and absorb new knowledge. Do what you want to do, and don't waste time coming into this world.
