“Don’t ask me where I’m from…” Do you recall the lyrics from “Olive Tree”, and the writer Sanmao?

During the time when Taiwanese society was still very rigid, Sanmao inspired many minds and souls who yearned for freedom with her wanderlust, foreign love stories, life in Sahara, and her prolific publication of over twenty literary works.
 

On 4 January 1991, Sanmao ended her own life in Taipei. Her writings and cherished items were all donated to the National Museum of Taiwan Literature (NMTL). Thirty years after her passing, we come together with book-lovers of all generations to explore her free spirit and sincerity through her manuscripts and collections.
