Who is San Mao, the romantic chronicler of China-Africa relations?

Not long ago, I received an email from Tom Devriendt, an editor of Africa is a Country, “a blog that engages with reporting on Africa”. He asked me if I knew of San Mao (三毛):
I recently came across the name of Chinese/Taiwanese writer San Mao. To be honest, I had never heard of her before. She turns out to have been a prolific writer, and — some claim — her work remains important (for better or for worse) in shaping a popular image of Africa in China.
Some references I’ve found on the web include:
- a trailer for a documentary (which never seems to have been finished): http://vimeo.com/8005426
- scholarly work
- and a couple of blog features:

Africa is a Country is interested in finding out more about San Mao, and so am I. Do any readers know more? Has anyone heard of her?
