Introduction to each chapter of Ersanmao Sahara’s story
1. "Hotel in the Desert": Sanmao gives her husband Jose and Spain a visit in the desert A story about a friend cooking Chinese food. Cooking is a very common thing, but after San Mao Yi wrote it, it became very interesting. Only women who can eat like to cook, and women who can cook are more beautiful.
2. "Marriage": The story of Sanmao marrying a Jose and going through the marriage formalities in the Spanish colony of Western Sahara. The boring procedures became vivid with Sanmao's writing. Without Sanmao notifying anyone in the town, everyone spontaneously came to the church to witness their wedding. The best gift for a wedding is not gold, silver and diamonds, but the blessings from everyone.
3. "Xuan Hu Ji Shi": The story of San Mao treating the Saharan indigenous people. Because of the lack of health knowledge among the local people in the Sahara, because of the restrictions placed on women by the Muslim religion, and because of Sanmao’s experience in becoming a good doctor after being ill for a long time, there are all kinds of things, from daily ailments to difficult and complicated diseases. Not only does he have a little knowledge of surgery, internal medicine, gynecology, and dentistry, One or two, he also acted as a veterinarian, which was so weird that it made readers laugh. She also thoughtfully wrote down the folk remedies that farmers told her on weekdays, so that one could be worth a hundred at critical moments.
4. "Doll Bride" A Sahrawi girl got married when she was just ten years old. She changed from a lively and lovely girl to a taciturn lamb overnight. This chapter mainly records the bad marriage habits of the Sahrawi people, which reflects the inequality of status between men and women and the unfairness of men being superior to women.
5. "Viewing Bathing in the Desert": It records Sanmao's interesting experience of watching Sahrawi women taking a bath in the desert. Some were so stifled by the body odor of a Sahrawi woman who hadn't bathed in four years that she dared not breathe. Some were stared at by the wife of the bathhouse owner with strange eyes. She paid forty yuan just to see how desert women bathe. Some went to the beach with her husband to watch. The water pipe *** washed the internal organs of the body, and hid behind the stone of the woman defecating. In the end, she was so smoked that she couldn't bear it and ran away in a hurry. In this chapter, Sanmao takes you to watch a joyful and unprecedented bathing experience in the desert.
6. "Amateur Fisherman": This chapter mainly records the interesting experience of Sanmao and her husband Jose going to the beach to fish. Later, they sold it to make money, and finally ate it at twelve times the price. Return the fish you catch and sell it to the restaurant. Reading this chapter, the scene of Sanmao and Jose fishing at the beach seems to appear in front of the reader. At the end, one can't help but sigh: What more can a husband ask for if a stubborn wife is like this?
7. "Hitchhiker": This article mainly records Sanmao's experiences along the way from home to the company to pick up Jose. Most of the stories are about helping others. Mixed with *** happy chatter and laughter behind.
8. "Dead Fruit": Sanmao picked up a pendant cursed by Mauritania on the road, then took it home and hung it around his neck, leading to a series of incredible personal injuries. After reading this chapter, my heart was filled with frightening worries about Sanmao and Jose. I also had the idea of ??bringing less talismans from the temple to my home in the future, just in case something unclean was attached to them.
9. "Mute Slave": records the friendship between Sanmao's family and the mute slave, reflecting Sanmao Jose's kind and friendly nature. It puts forward the view that all people are born equal and have freedom and rights. A rich man with a fortune is not necessarily more spiritual than a penniless slave. Even a slave has his own source of happiness.
10. "A Family from Scraps": It records the story of Jose, a Sanmao who first arrived in the Sahara, from building his own warm home in a cold house until it became the most eye-catching residence in the city and filled with guests. There is also an episode in which another man quietly falls in love with Sanmao.
Sanmao and Jose gave full play to their Robinson Crusoe-like intelligence on a desert island, using materials from all over the world to get what they wanted naturally. Reading about Sanmao Jose happily building his own hut, adding bricks and tiles, the reader is left thinking and sighing.
3. What are the classic moments in "The Story of the Sahara"
What will you do when the one you love is in trouble? Tears welling up? Yelling and doing useless work? Or keep a clear mind?
Sanmao chose the last one among the three.
On a whim, she and Jose risked their lives and drove to an uninhabited wilderness more than a hundred miles away. The danger really happened - Jose stepped into the mud. Admittedly, her behavior was not calm: she "went to the doctor in a hurry", knowing that the possibility of receiving help was extremely slim, but she pursued the slim possibility for her lover, and she was almost caught by three Sahrawi men. She also yelled, but her thoughts were orderly. She removed the car seat cushions, removed the tires, took off her clothes, braved the cold, and used her own strength to rescue her lover. Yes, in critical moments, a calm mind is an important condition for saving yourself and others. Panic and useless anxiety will only make the situation worse. Why not try to calm down? But a calm mind is not enough, you must have the courage to take action. Without courage, all ideas and strategies are in vain. Of course, there is another thing that I admire - the love between Sanmao and Jose. When a disaster strikes, who do they think of? Own? No, it's the other person. Sanmao ignored himself and only thought about Jose's situation; Jose did the same, he wanted Sanmao to go back to a safe place. Their spirit moved me, and perhaps this is why this book is so popular.
What do you do when your neighbor repeatedly asks you to borrow items? reject? Or is it indulgence?
Sanmao and Jose chose the latter.
When she moved to the small town of Ayong, she also fantasized about living a wonderful life. But nothing good seemed to happen: when their neighbors borrowed things from them, accidentally damaged their roof several times, and treated them indifferently when they came to borrow items, Sanmao and Jose chose "no". Hurt their pride." However, what’s not so bad about living a life without fussing over everything? Just like the article "Let Go with Lightness", you let go of the light or heavy baggage, and what you gain is the freedom of body and mind, and the liberation of the soul; on the contrary, if you care about everything and care about everything, that kind of life will not only make your The worries of those around you will further constrain you and make it difficult to find peace of mind. "Thanks to these neighbors, my days in the desert have been made colorful by them, and I no longer know the feeling of loneliness." Maybe she was self-deprecating, maybe she was helpless, but she was still so relaxed and at ease, unaffected by her neighbors at all.
What is the content of Four Sahara Stories?
"Sahara Stories" mainly describes what Sanmao and Jose saw and heard when they lived in the Sahara Desert, and their acquaintance with the local area. Each of the friends’ stories reveals this forbearing woman’s love for life and her determination in the face of difficulties. It is composed of more than a dozen wonderful and moving essays. Among them, "The Hotel in the Desert" is the first article that Sanmao wrote again after adapting to the desolate and monotonous life in the desert. From then on, Sanmao wrote a series of A story set in the desert.
Sanmao used her heart to adapt to and care for this vast desert. In her writing, the people and objects in the Sahara became rich and colorful.

In the book, whether Jose eats his fans like rain, or their extremely simple wedding, going to the beach to fish, or building the most beautiful house in the desert from scratch, everything is filled with mutual feelings. Deep and warm love. (4) Extended reading of the story of the Sahara
In 1973, she could not resist the temptation of the Sahara Desert and came to the world's largest desert to marry Jose, a Spanish young man who loved her deeply. Start a family. The life in the desert inspired her hidden writing talent, and she wrote many sincere works based on local life.

In 1979, Jose died unexpectedly, and Sanmao's soul was greatly traumatized, and her life fell into a dilemma. Lows. It is worth mentioning that "Hotel in the Desert" was originally called "China Hotel" and was first published in "United Daily News" on October 6, 1974. This was the first time Sanmao used the pen name "Sanmao". The nine letters in the appendix are from the first edition of "My Soul Rides on the Back of Paper" published by Taiwan Crown Publishing House in January 2001.
5. Appreciation of good quotes from the story of the Sahara
1. It is dusk, the sun is setting behind the horizon, and the vast desert is dyed a bloody red.
At this time, the drum sounded
. Its sound was very dull and monotonous, and it spread far away. If you didn't know in advance that it was a wedding, this mysterious rhythm would be real. Somewhat scary. As I put on my sweater and walked to Handi's house, I imagined that I was running into the beautiful story of Arabian Nights.
The combination of movement and stillness uses the colors of the desert and the sound of drums to bring out the author's mood at that time
After dinner, we sat on the rooftop. There was no wind that night, and Jose called me Turn on the light, and when the light comes on, groups of flying insects immediately rush towards you. They circle around the light, as if this light is the only thing they recognize in life.
The two of us looked at these little flying insects.
"What are you thinking about?" Jose said.
"I was thinking that when a moth flies into a flame, it must be extremely happy."
"I was thinking, why do we have to make furniture? Why can't we learn from the Sahara Will people sit on the mat for the rest of their lives?”
“Because we are not them”
“Why can’t I change, I ask you?” I hugged the three pieces of wood and thought again. This question.
"Why don't they eat pork?" Jose laughed.
"That is a religious issue, not a lifestyle issue."
"Why don't you like to eat camel meat? Isn't it forbidden for Christians to eat camel?"
"In my religion, camels are used to thread the eye of a needle, and not for anything else."
"So we still need furniture to live without sadness."
That afternoon, I was sorting out the cartons of books that arrived by sea, and I accidentally saw a few photos of myself.
In one picture, he was wearing a long dress, a fur coat, his hair combed up, and long earrings, and he was coming out of the Berlin Opera House to listen to Rigoletto.
The other photo is of a winter night in Madrid, singing, dancing and drinking red wine with a large group of libertines (female) in a small hotel in the old town. I am very beautiful in the photo, with long hair draped smoothly over my shoulders. above, with a smile on my face——
I looked at the past one by one, threw down the stack of photos, and fell to the ground in despair. That mood was like a dead body, and the soul was led to the sight. His relatives who came to see him on the terrace were as helpless as they were.
The sand is the same sand, the sky is the same sky, and the tornado is the same tornado. At the end of the isolated world, in this place as primitive as the world, the United Nations and the International Court of Justice at The Hague Strange terms such as national self-determination and national self-determination are as thin and unreal as smoke to many people who really live here.
"This is my land, the place where my parents are buried." Shaida's eyes suddenly became hazy, as if there were some unspeakable secrets and pain in her heart, and she sat quietly as if in a daze. Forgot to talk again.
"What about you? Sanmao?" After a while, she asked me.
"I don't want to leave, I like it here."
"What attracts you here?" she asked me strangely.
"What attracts me here? The vastness of the sky, the scorching sun, the storms, the lonely life with joy and sorrow. Even these ignorant people, I have love and hate for them, and they are confused. Alas! I can’t figure it out myself.”
“What would you do if this land were yours?”
“I probably studied nursing and medicine, just like you. Actually - how can I tell the difference between what is not mine and what is mine?" I sighed.
There is no second Sahara in the world, and only to those who love it, it can present its beauty and tenderness to you, and convey your love to its everlasting earth and sky, Silently repaying you, silently promising to you, I hope your children and grandchildren will be born in its arms.
If you don’t want to survive, go into exile!
My friend, we didn’t know each other before, and we have never met now, but why do we need to meet each other in life, and why do we need to know each other when we meet.
In Taipei, I don’t feel close to you, and I don’t feel far away from you in Africa. As long as we know each other and appreciate each other, we are so close to each other!
Although I often hold the rudder of the boat of my life, in the darkness, it is my God who hangs the guiding star that is shining quietly for me. Wherever he told me to go, I would go. Deep in my heart, there was no fear, no sadness, just a sense of separation.
Because of God’s everlasting love, I can learn to love everyone, every plant, tree, and sand in the world.
2. "I don't want it. Give me a home first, and then decorate me. There is no need for clothes in the desert."
He still wears leather shoes with holes in the soles to go to work.
In one sentence, he describes Jose's simple and family-oriented character, and at the same time, it also describes the hardship of life at that time.
3. The sun poured down like molten iron, and I was so exposed that I saw the sky and the earth slowly rotating.
Use the weather at that time to describe Jose’s hardship.
6. Excerpts, evaluations and insights of good passages from "The Story of Sahara"
This section of "Xuan Hu Ji Shi" mainly tells the story of Sanmao working as a doctor and treating his neighbors. Time and time again, Sanmao used her strange and unique methods or the old methods in Chinese medicine books to cure the local people's diseases. There was even a time when Sanmao "changed his career" to become a dentist and used nail polish to repair people's teeth. The repairs did indeed make the teeth of those patients who refused to go to the hospital stop hurting and they were able to bite. After José learned about this, he was "so frightened that all his hair stood on end, like a character in a comic", which is enough for readers to feel José's fright at that time.
In "Night on Barren Mountain", Jose almost died. When I read this story, I really felt like I was on the scene. I was moved by the tense and fearful atmosphere at that time. I was also infected with Sanmao's fear at that time, and I shared her anxiety, worries, and joys... …
The bizarre experiences of the protagonist in "Desert Bathing" made me laugh; the behavior of the neighbors in "Neighbors" made me angry and funny; the relationship between Jose and "I" in "The Amateur Fisherman" "Eating the fish they sold for twelve times the price", and then the fish seller's bill was soaked in the washing machine. It was like seeing them "crying and laughing"; "Dead Fruit" introduced a very powerful The "supernatural" phenomenon, "The phenomenon of this talisman is to attack people's own health shortcomings. It can turn these small problems into ghosts to take your life." It is a bit scary to see; "Ladder to Heaven" also describes Sanmao's interesting experience in taking the driver's license test... each story is vividly presented to the readers, and Sanmao's love for the Sahara can also be seen in it. However, in "The Baby Bride" we can see Sanmao's helplessness towards the local customs of the Sahara and his sympathy for Guka.
The whole book ends with "Building a Family from Hands". "A Family from Hands" tells the story of Sanmao's arrival in the Sahara Desert until she and Jose finally built a "castle in the sand" - their beautiful home step by step. This process was full of setbacks, but in the end their residence was transformed from "the dark little house with a big hole in the middle" to "the most beautiful house in the desert". It made me feel the hardships of starting a family from scratch and the joy of starting a family.
