Anyone who has seen The Story of the Sahara and The Crying Camel is moved by the love story between San Mao and Jose. In the book, they describe in detail the past between her and Jose, which makes people envy and yearn for it. But after Sanmao's death, many people began to look for traces of Sanmao's death, so some people began to doubt whether Jose really existed. They think Jose was invented by San Mao, who never existed.

There is a famous writer who is a friend of Sanmao. Someone once asked him if he knew Jose. The answer he gave is that there is no such person as Jose, and the stories between them are just the work of readers. Some people may believe that this is true, or they may be disappointed or sorry, but readers loyal to Sanmao will think that this is a frame-up of Sanmao. They believe that San Mao believes that Jose exists. After all, the photos of the two of them are really not fake. If Jose is fake, who is Jose in Sanmao's photo?

After Sanmao died, some readers wanted to follow Sanmao's footsteps and learn more about her. Some people even went to Sahara and Canary, where they found Jose's tombstone. Therefore, readers are still willing to believe that Jose exists. Maybe in real life, two people are not as perfect as written in the book, at least this person really existed.

San Mao said that Jose's lover had been married to her for six years. In these six years, she spent three years abroad, being pursued by men from three different countries, including a Japanese businessman classmate, a German classmate who became a diplomat, and a doctor. All three of them are better than Jose, but they don't get Sanmao's love. Later, Sanmao returned to Taiwan Province Province and chose the person she wanted to marry, but she died before marriage. So in the end Sanmao chose her Jose in "True Love" and got married fairly in Sahara. There is never a perfect story in this world, and the legendary San Mao also needs an emotional sustenance, so San Mao chose this warm happiness and chose Jose.
