Pearl Buck was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. She wrote more than 100 books. She also wrote short stories, poetry, plays, essays and children’s literature.(23)But most people remember Pearl Buck for her novels about China. Pearl and her family lived among the Chinese people. Pearl played with Chinese children and visited their homes. She listened to their ideas and learned about their culture. From an early age, she spoke both Chinese and English. Pearl’s education began at home. Her mother taught her many of the things she would have learned in an American school. A Chinese tutor taught Pearl other subjects. When she was seven, she began reading the works of British writer Charles Dickens. Many years later, after she had become a famous author, she said that Dickens’ writing style had the greatest influence on her own style. In 1920, Pearl’s first child was born. Her name was Carol. Doctors found that Carol had an unusual disease called PKU(苯丙酮尿症). This caused her to have trouble learning.(24)But if it had not been for Carol’s health problems, her mother might never have become a famous writer. The reason was money. Pearl Buck needed a lot of money over the years to pay for her daughter’s care. So she tried writing books about the subject she knew best. Pearl Buck gave many speeches in America. She talked to young people about the importance of good education. She told them they needed to know more about other people around the world.
