Sanmao, whose English name is Echo, means echo. This beautiful angel has gone to heaven with Jose. I always wish her to live happily in heaven. You should be happy. When I listen to the wind whispering, I seem to have heard your laughter. It is like a silver bell, just like it was back then.
Life is bitter, but Sanmao carves it into a work of art.
You are a dream I cannot live up to
The Spring Festival of 2020 is difficult, not only in the atmosphere of the whole country, but also the most difficult period for me in so many years. Emotional setbacks, injuries, pain, sadness, and mild depression have made me, who was originally cheerful and optimistic, passive and silent for a time. It is Sanmao's words that accompany me and help me slowly heal myself. Her writing is vivid and concise. I prefer her free, fearless, straightforward, brave and free and easy personality charm!
You are a dream I cannot live up to
Sanmao, her simple and unpretentious writing style makes life, death, love, hate, separation, and helplessness appear in front of readers through short stories and movie-like scenes, as clear as if they were there. The half-life story she sang gives you an indescribable taste of joy and sorrow. She is such a noble soul. She is more like a rolling stone and a big flag fluttering in the wind. Living with such a clear-cut flag, how much can we, the onlookers, understand? She was an idiot, floating in the world of literature and paintings, which was the happiest thing for her. And now we see her and read her, which is also the happiest thing, but it is also an inferior dream.
Ahaha, I bought four Sanmao books in one go
I was so happy to find out that this book is wire-bound.
Sanmao's endless charm makes her words easily charming...
You are my dream.
You are a dream I cannot live up to. It took me almost a summer vacation, one article a day, and I finally finished reading it. .
A woman who is like the breeze
Reading check-in
At the age of twenty, one either has low self-esteem or is arrogant.
A woman with a pure world view
Clean and slightly pessimistic, this is her, right?
