In 1967, he went to Spain to study, and later went to Germany, the United States, etc. In 1973, he settled in the Spanish Sahara Desert and married Jose. After returning to Taiwan in 1981, he taught at the Cultural University. He resigned from the teaching position in 1984 and focused on writing and speaking. Died in hospital on January 4, 1991, only 48 years old.
Chen Ping Sanmao's ancestral home is Dinghai, Zhejiang Province. According to Chen Ping's family tree "Chen Family Yongchun Hall Genealogy", Chen Ping's ancestors moved from Henan to Zhejiang in the early days. His father Chen Siqing is a successful lawyer and his mother Miao Jinlan. Chen Ping was born in Chongqing in 1943. He is the second child. He has an elder sister Chen Tianxin and two younger brothers Chen Sheng and Chen Jie. My sister Chen Tianxin is 3 years older than Sanmao. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he moved with his parents to Nanjing and then to Taipei. Chen Ping attended Zhongzheng Elementary School in Taipei and was admitted to Taiwan Provincial Taipei No. 1 Girls' High School in 1954. When I was a child, I liked to pick up and play with other people's discarded items and enjoy myself.
When Chen Ping was in the second grade of junior high school in 1955, he often got zero marks in mathematics. By the second semester, Chen Ping discovered that every quiz given by the math teacher was based on exercises at the back of the textbook. In order not to repeat the grade, Chen Ping memorized the questions and scored six hundred points in the quiz. The math teacher began to suspect her of cheating. Chen Ping said to the teacher: "Cheating is impossible for me. Even if you are a teacher, you can't insult me ??like this." So the math teacher asked Chen Ping to answer a question that was more difficult than what he had learned. After getting a zero score, In front of the whole class, the teacher used a brush to draw two large circles around her eyes representing zero eggs and humiliated Chen Ping verbally. I fainted when I was tying my shoelaces before going to school the next day. I had a huge psychological disorder and fainted frequently after that. So I often skipped school to read novels in the cemetery, and finally I stopped going to school. He resumed school for a time in 1956, but still often skipped school to read in the library, and later officially dropped out. When he just dropped out of school, Chen Ping was transferred by his parents to the Taipei American School, where he was sent to learn flower arrangement, piano, and traditional Chinese painting. He also studied landscapes with the famous Huang Junbi and flowers and birds with Shao Youxuan. She likes reading, and her father taught her to memorize Tang poetry and Song lyrics, read "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" and read English novels. However, Chen Ping suffered from depression and has been in a self-enclosed state of mind. I committed suicide by slitting my wrists, and I also saw a psychiatrist, but once-a-week psychotherapy didn't help.
While at the Cultural College, Chen Ping admired Liang Guangming, a talented scholar from the same school who had published two books under the pen name Shu Fan. He took the initiative to provide his contact information, and the two began to date. When Liang Guangming was a senior, Chen Ping, a junior, used to go to Spain to study as a bargaining chip after forcing him to get married several times. As a result, Chen Ping completed the procedures to go abroad and the two broke up. Chen Ping committed suicide and received 28 stitches.
On January 4, 1991, Sanmao, who was hospitalized for endometrial hyperplasia, was found dead in the Wing General Ward in Taipei. The cause of death was that she hanged herself with stockings. There is a saying that Sanmao was in a state of "mental exhaustion" and could not fall asleep without taking sleeping pills before going to bed. As the dosage of sleeping pills continued to increase, he finally took too much and accidentally got suffocated by stockings wrapped around his neck while in a daze. Died at the age of 48. Her family also clarified that she did not commit suicide. Half a month before her death, she told her mother that she wanted to be a nun. On the other hand, there are various rumors that Sanmao's early death was caused by her passion for psychics. There are also rumors that she was murdered. Writer Zhang Jingran made a series of arguments for this theory in his book "Crying Lily: San Mao Died of Murder". Before that, he wrote Wang Luobin's final letter.
