The originator of vagrant literature-San Mao's past life

If there is an afterlife, be a tree and stand in an eternal position without sadness. This is a legendary female writer who likes wandering and pursues freedom-Sanmao.

Sanmao, like a free-walking flower, rides on a paper back and travels all over Qian Shan. It is also like a walking museum, allowing readers to follow her footsteps and enter the door of "foreign culture".

The well-known story of Sahara provides us with a window to explore the mysterious country, as if our feet had also explored the magical desert in vast expanse, and felt the primitive backwardness, boredom and hardship of life there.

Once "San Mao Fever" represented a kind of culture. Until now, her works and her legends have been widely praised by future generations.

However, it is such an admirable legendary female writer who played truant in primary school, dropped out of school as soon as she entered junior high school, and suffered from autism until she met a teacher who changed her life, the painter Gu, and let her formally embark on the road of literature, thus being hailed as the originator of the world's "wandering literature".

Then how did she make such brilliant achievements in the field of literature and become the originator of "wandering literature"?

Sanmao, formerly known as Chen Ping, 1943, was born in Chongqing, Zhejiang Province on March 26th. She is the second child of the Chen family. She has been eccentric and stubborn since she was a child.

Although she usually doesn't talk much, she likes asking questions, books and crops, and doesn't like dolls and new clothes. Often don't cry or make trouble, only one person is silent alone. Companions are not allowed to pinch ants. She often asks some strange questions, such as apples hanging on the tree. She asked: Does the apple hurt?

At the age of three, she fell in love with Zhang Leping's San Mao Wandering and San Mao Joining the Army. When she grew up, she took Sanmao as her pen name.

Before going to school, she dabbled in all kinds of fairy tales. She liked reading newspapers and magazines when she first entered primary school. In the first grade of primary school, every time the teacher issued a new Chinese textbook, she finished it without teaching her. She also asked the teacher, "Why aren't Chinese textbooks more profound?" But she was looked down upon by the teacher.

At an early age, I often stole books from Lu Xun, Bing Xin, Ba Jin, Lao She and others. Although she can't fully understand the meaning of the article, she will still be a little touched when she sees a good article.

Because Sanmao's math is not very good, especially the problem of chickens and rabbits living together, in high school, arithmetic is aggravated. In addition, the cage for chickens and rabbits came, and the tasks assigned by the teacher also increased. School is over, it's late, and I have to do my homework when I come back at night, so I have no time to study.

But for San Mao, there can be no "books" for a day. So, she secretly read in class. I once saw Baoyu's becoming a monk in A Dream of Red Mansions, and her wonderful words made her once lost in the realm of literature. When the teacher called her name in class, she seemed to hear someone calling her. She felt that the voice was far away and intoxicated.

She said that the beauty of literature will be her lifelong goal.

Sanmao's obsession with books as a child turned this child, who had always been obedient in the eyes of his family, into the most unreasonable one.

When their family fled to Taiwan Province Province, their financial situation was very difficult at first. In order to survive, my uncle and father changed all the gold ornaments at home into gold coupons, which were soon spent. Adults haven't opened yet, and eight children in the family have to dress, eat and study.

But when Sanmao found a bookstore near where they lived, she was particularly excited. She has been pestering her mother for change to rent books, and sometimes even rummages through her sewing box and pockets when her mother is not in the room. As long as she digs out a dime, she will exchange it for books.

In that bookstore, she not only finished reading all the story books of American immigrants living in the west, but also read many foreign classics, including Don Quixote and Gone with the Wind.

Since childhood, the attraction of literary books to Sanmao is endless, and she often falls into the torrent of books and is obsessed with it.

She said: This life entangled with books will probably never end.

It is because she loves reading so much that she spent all her childhood reading and extensive reading, which laid a solid foundation for her to embark on the road of literature in the future.

Just as the old saying goes: "If you have a heart, you can't plant flowers, but if you don't have a heart, you will get a shade." .

Sanmao's parents, like any other parents in the world, want their children to have a good living environment in the future and to cultivate her skills when she is young.

Her parents' original intention was to cultivate her painting potential, but the sword went sideways and never returned on the road of literature. Thanks to several teachers for their guidance and help.

In the second grade, the math teacher suspected Sanmao of cheating. She drew two big duck eggs in ink on her face in front of her classmates and asked her to walk in the corridor.

Sanmao is a sensitive girl, which has dealt a devastating blow to her self-esteem. From that day on, she didn't want to go to school again, but hid in the cemetery and read alone.

Sanmao's parents are more open-minded in this matter. She didn't think it was the right way to play truant, so she dropped out of school and educated herself.

It was because of a corporal punishment by the school math teacher that she suddenly suffered from an innocent disease in her youth and was ill for seven years. From then on, she closed her heart, did not speak, did not leave the house, and became an autistic person. The only activity is skating on the concrete floor in the yard in the afternoon when no one is around.

Her parents tried every means to alleviate her illness and let her learn flower arrangement, piano and Chinese painting, but they couldn't get her out of the shackles. Until an accidental opportunity, I met the painter Gu.

The quiet Gu Fusheng left a deep impression on Sanmao. The teacher's loving, patient and respectful education method not only made her speak, but also rebuilt Sanmao's self-confidence and let her out of the shadow of autism.

Teacher Gu found that her talent in painting was not as great as her potential in writing. She first encouraged her to write articles, and then recommended her articles to Mr. Bai Xianyong, editor-in-chief of Modern Literature. With the help of Bai Xianyong, modern literature officially opened her writing path.

If the first two teachers pointed out the direction for Sanmao's literary road, the other teacher made her literary road more firm.

He is a first-year Chinese teacher at Sanmao University. He is Zhou Zong, who is eccentric and knowledgeable, and is called "Westerner".

Because of an article she wrote during the final make-up exam, the teacher was very moved and shed tears. Not only did she get a high score of 99 points, but the evaluation was a good article of "flesh and blood". And said to her, "Remember that, and don't put this pen down for me from now on."

Therefore, teachers can destroy a person or make a person.

These two kinds of teachers have been verified in Sanmao. Fortunately, Sanmao is lucky. She met many good teachers in her life, which strengthened her literary path.

When she grows up, Sanmao wants to go abroad, broaden her horizons and enrich her life experience. Unexpectedly, he realized the unprecedented birth of "wandering literature".

Sanmao's yearning for foreign culture is closely related to his family influence. Her grandfather and grandfather used to deal with foreigners, do business and speak a standard foreign language.

Under the influence of his grandparents, Sanmao also learned some foreign words. I thought I could speak a few foreign languages, so I wanted to leave my country and go outside to see what she called a "foreign devil with yellow hair, blue eyes, blue teeth and a mouthful of blood."

For this stubborn and thoughtful child, parents are really powerless. With my grandfather's enlightened support, I got my parents' reluctant permission.

Ever since I first studied in Spain, it has been out of control. Since then, I have traveled to 54 countries around the world, condensed my personal experiences and what I saw and heard into short stories, gathered them into vivid words, and led readers to explore wonderful strange countries, thus writing Everywhere in Qianshan.

Nietzsche said: "Reading is to follow the author's footsteps to see the scenery along the way."

Her travel experience is not like ordinary boring textbook-style travel notes, but interspersed with small scenes and turned into interesting and warm words, which makes people feel that her current activities are affectionate and are experiencing and feeling with heart.

Later, Sanmao's exploration of foreign countries could not stay at the level of general comfort zone, and she pursued deeper and more exciting experiences.

One day I came across an article about "Sahara" in a magazine. She was shocked by the pictures and words in it, and now she decided to go once in her life.

On the day when I decided to go, my beloved Jose found a job in the local area in advance without saying anything, waiting for Sanmao's arrival.

The discomfort and hardship of life in the desert are unimaginable to ordinary people. Her will has been tested and honed from the harsh desert environment, sparsely populated land, backward local concepts, lack of water and poor food hygiene.

Sanmao is not only not intimidated by the living environment, but also can discover and create the fun of life at any time with her husband Jose, so that life in the desert is not so boring.

They built their own house, made furniture and built the most beautiful desert house. In her spare time, she helps local residents as much as possible, including treating them and teaching their children to read.

In order to have a deeper understanding of the lives of local residents, she also paid special money to go to the bathhouse to see how the women there bathed, expressing deep sympathy for the slaves and deeply blaming herself for not helping them fundamentally.

All these personal experiences led to the birth of a great work, The Story of the Sahara. She is the eyes of readers, leading readers to spy on mysterious desert stories and understand foreign cultural customs.

Since the publication of this work, Sanmao has entered the readers' field of vision and become a name that has influenced the growth of several generations of China women in China, calling her a "legendary female writer" and thus establishing her status as the ancestor of "wandering literature".

199 1 year 65438+1October 4th, it was a sad day. Instead of playing cards according to common sense, she unexpectedly ended her life in her own unique way and let her soul continue to wander freely around the world. ...

Although Sanmao has been gone for almost 30 years, there are still many people who have been telling her stories, thinking about her goodness and spreading her goodness.

Chen Tianci, Sanmao's niece, wrote in My Aunt Sanmao: "She used her way to freeze her age in our hearts, and today we use our way to regenerate her."

She loves the spirit of reading and is sought after by many readers as an example. Her phrase "read more, the appearance naturally changes, in temperament, in speech and in life writing" always inspires people to read more, believing that reading will bring great qualitative changes.

She pursues freedom, follows her heart, dares to be her own quality, and constantly inspires people to live a real life and be herself.

There is also the prodigal life and wandering legend she experienced all her life, which made readers sigh and admire, and also made many people want to live like her and be named the goddess in their hearts.

Although the superstar has fallen, she has lived to be a legend.

May everyone who loves San Mao find the light that illuminates him from her.
