Film screenings, conferences and book presentations will be held in the months to come at the Miguel de Cervantes Library in Shanghai, under the program Sanmao, 30 years.
Thirty years after the tragic death of Taiwanese writer Sanmao, a documentary premiere at the Miguel de Cervantes Library in Shanghai on the Women’s Day lifts the lid on the mystery surrounding the author’s abrupt suicide while receiving medical treatment.
Sanmao is the pen name of Echo Chan, who was born in the wartime Chongqing, southwest China, in 1943. She moved to Taiwan with her family in 1948 and studied in Spain in the late 1960s, which piqued her love of Europe and Africa.
