Born in the United States but brought up in China, she experienced both educational systems, allowing her to become a cultural hybrid who wanders between the East and the West. Most of her works are related to China, and they have garnered great success and influence in her era.

This film interviewed nearly a hundred related scholars and relatives, obtained extremely rare first-hand information, and reproduced the celebrated life of Pearl Buck in a panoramic manner. —Cotter Li
