In the 1970s, a poem by San Mao became the words to "Olive Tree." Popular at the time, the lyrics to the song ran, "Don't ask me where I come from, my home is far away. Why do I wander .... It's the olive tree in my dreams."
一九七○年代，以三毛詩作為詞、盛極一時的「不要問我從那裡來，我的故鄉在遠方，為什麼流浪，… … 為了夢中的橄欖樹」的抒情歌曲《橄欖樹》，看似浪漫，多少也反映了當時社會的想望。
