A woman who’d lived in far-off lands, learned fortitude, and honed the tougher side of her personality
On this day, we reflect upon Sanmao's remarkable life and the indelible impact she left upon the literary world.
As we commemorate her birthday, let us honor her memory and the profound contributions she made. May she find eternal peace in the realm beyond, forever celebrated and cherished in our hearts.
Her writings encompassed various genres, including novels, essays, travelogues, and poetry.
She also wrote numerous essays, articles, and poems that were published in various newspapers and magazines. Her writings often reflected her personal experiences, her search for identity, and her philosophical musings on life.
She met her husband, José María Quero, a Spanish photographer, in Germany while studying at the University of Heidelberg. They got married in 1973 and embarked on a journey that would shape much of Sanmao's experiences and literary works.
They resided in the town of Laayoune, which was under Spanish administration at the time.
Sanmao was deeply captivated by the desert landscape and the unique culture of the region. Her time in Morocco's Western Sahara became the foundation for her acclaimed book, "Stories of the Sahara." Published in 1976, the book recounted her adventures, encounters, and challenges while living in the desert with her husband.
