I am a tree.

If there is an afterlife, be a tree. Source: A Tree is a song written by San Mao and sung by Zhao Zhao.

Lyrics:

If there is an afterlife, be a tree.

Stand in an eternal posture, without sadness.

If you can be a tree, you should be an apple tree.

Fruitful, never envious of prosperity.

Half flies in the wind and half matures in the soil.

Half should be bathed in sunshine and half should be cooled.

Very, very proud and never dependent.

Very, very silent, never looking.

If there is an afterlife, be a tree.

Stand in an eternal posture, without sadness.

If you can be a tree, you should be a cash cow.

Never envy prosperity.

Half flies in the wind and half matures in the soil.

Half should be bathed in sunshine and half should be cooled.

Very, very proud and never dependent.

Very, very silent, never looking.

Extended data:

Sanmao's works are emotional and real, without too much whitewashing, but they show the true colors of life, wisdom and interest of life. In her works, there are no flowers and months, very much in love, and the chirping words described in general love works. Even though she wrote about her life when she fell in love with Jose before marriage in Marriage, she only wrote about how they sat on a bench in a Spanish park in the cold wind and thought about how to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Sanmao experienced gloomy girlhood and troubled youth and middle age, which made sadness the keynote of her works. This sensitivity to pain has always remained in Sanmao's character and has had a great influence on her later writing. She pays attention to herself and the world around her with kind, sad and pitying eyes, so the lines in her works are always full of sad beauty.

For example, in The Dumb Slave, Sanmao successfully portrayed for us an image of a black slave who lives in deep suffering and has no personal freedom, but is full of love and wisdom.

In his article, San Mao drew many sketches of people and scenery. What she writes is always primitive and natural, without any artificial carving. The characters portrayed by San Mao also reproduce the real characters by sketching their appearance and language. Based on the reality of life, Sanmao showed the contradictory and unified character of characters in many aspects, which left a deep impression on people.

Sanmao's works are full of lyrical colors. Whether in novels or essays, her writing always reveals the femininity and delicacy of women.

The hotel in the desert describes the pleasure of eating Chinese food with foreign husband Jose: the difference between Chinese and western food cultures has not become an obstacle to their harmonious life, but has become a source of happiness for the couple. Marriage records the dramatic process of her hasty marriage with Jose in the desert, and all kinds of absurd and solemn wedding ceremonies are intertwined.
