Abstract：During the AntiJapanese War, Pearl S. Buck stayed in the United States, but she supported the Chinese in a number of ways. To commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Victory of the AntiJapanese War, Zhenjiang Pearl S. Buck Association hosted a symposium on “Pearl S. Buck and the AntiJapanese War” and invited scholars from China and abroad to approach Mrs. Bucks personal life and works and the history of Chinese peoples opposition to Japanese invasion so as to commemorate this friend of Chinese people. Professor Lu Jiande, director of the Institute of Literature of The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, argued that traditionally Chinese intellectuals strongly resented others remarking of them and took social recognition, viz. “their treatment”, as a proof of their own values; they lacked the “serving the society” consciousness in the western intellectual tradition. So we should stay cool to read Mrs. Bucks comments on Chinese intellectuals and see the justification in these comments and think over the need of time and the necessity of Chinas reality in her calling for intellectuals to mingle themselves with the ordinary people. Professor Guo Yingjian from Renmin University of China focused on the relationship between Pearl S. Buck and Chinas AntiJapanese War, trying to reveal Mrs. Bucks new meaning and value to China. On the premise of stressing her writing in the then context, he recounted briefly Mrs. Bucks contribution to Chinas AntiJapanese War from three aspects: speaking out against Japanese invasion, organizing donations for Chinese, and writing about Chinese peoples bravery in opposing Japanese. Professor Yao Junwei from Nanjing Normal University argued that in the 1930s and 40s, Pearl S. Buck was concerned about the Chinese AntiJapanese War and supported it in various ways, including her literary production. He thought that it is advisable for us today to incorporate them in her works of the Chinese subject matter, to put them in the context of the core values of Chinese civilization, and to reappraise them as an indispensable part of the antifascist writings of the whole world so as to do them more justice.
