"I have no time to be seriously young, and when I understand it, I can only choose to be seriously old." This sentence comes from San Mao's classic quotation. It was written after Jose's death.

It means that when we are young, we don't know how to take life seriously, ourselves seriously and our feelings seriously. We will feel at a loss, at a loss, and feel that we can't find the direction of life. As time goes by, we can only choose to grow old helplessly, but we can't help but face this reality seriously.

Extended information:

When San Mao and Jose first met, San Mao was in the third year of college in Madrid, and Jose was just a high school student studying near her school, but by chance, on Christmas Eve, Jose, wearing a French hat, was waiting for her to give her holiday gifts and blessings downstairs in her apartment! At that time, San Mao didn't compare his Jose, who was a few years younger, with any thoughts.

Jose skipped class to see her until one day, Jose said seriously, ECHO, will you wait for me to get married? Six years! Four years of college and two years of military service! Okay.

San Mao was aware of his abnormality, so he deliberately angered him and gave him an ultimatum: Never come to see me again, I have a boyfriend! Jose was not angry either. He just waved his French hat and said to Sanmao backwards: ECHO, goodbye.

Later, Jose really never came to see Sanmao again. Occasionally, he met him on the road. He just gave Sanmao a polite hug and kissed her on the cheek. And Sanmao's boyfriend seems to be always changing, intentionally or unintentionally. After returning to Taiwan, Sanmao was accidentally killed by her fiance. She returned to Spain after suffering.

that day, she received a phone call from a good friend, saying that she had something important to tell her to go to her house. Towards evening, Sanmao hurried to his good friend's house. When meeting each other, a good friend just told her to close her eyes and wait. At this time, Sanmao was suddenly picked up and rotated. Sanmao opened his eyes and saw that it was Jose. Seven months later, Sanmao and Jose held a civil marriage.

Most of Jose's job is to be a diving engineer. Sanmao drives for three hours at 2: 3 pm every day, risking sand walking in the desert and tornadoes to pick up Jose from work at 5: 3. Later, Jose went to another island and could only go home once a week, so Sanmao decided to check the car and luggage to accompany his beloved Jose.

Seven years after Sanmao's marriage, at that time, Chen's father and mother flew all the way to Europe to visit my husband-in-law. Because of regional cultural differences, Jose didn't know how to address China's in-laws. According to westerners' habits, he had to call him Mrs. Chen. For Sanmao, he had to call her mom and dad. Jose was extremely nervous and cautious in words and deeds, but he still failed to call his parents out from beginning to end.

while having dinner, San Mao, who was tidying up the dishes and chopsticks, suddenly listened to Jose in the chat and said to her father, "Dad, will you ask ECHO to allow me to buy a motorcycle?" Sanmao quickly hid in the kitchen, tears streaming down her face. Jose Ken called her father this way because of his deep love for her.

It's a pity that on the summer when Sanmao's parents were sent away, Sanmao accompanied them to fly off the island, and Jose also sent them to the airport. However, this has become a permanent tactic. Jose had an accident while diving. Jose was only thirty years old.

San Mao passed out without eating or drinking for several days. At that time, mother Chen brought a bowl of soup and begged her daughter to drink it, but San Mao, who was heartbroken, didn't look at it. She insisted on going with Jose. Later, Ping Xintao's wife also stayed with Sanmao, constantly comforting her until Sanmao promised her that she would never commit suicide.

Without Jose, there would be no lovely Sanmao. In those days, Sanmao was busy making tombstones for Jose, and bought a lot of flowers every day to visit her lover in the cemetery and talk with him until dark.
