Abstract:The image of China in Pearl S. Buck's novels always wanders between literary imagination and historical reality.As for its reality, her writing of the image of China is the result of the tradition and the modern Chinese culture she experienced. As for its literary imagination, it enhances the literary, artistic and readable nature of her works. Her “image of China” writing makes the readers roam among reality and imagination, the macro and the micro, the serious and the imaginary. Such a narrative approach enables us to better understand the multi-dimensional dialogs and mutual communication advocated by Buck, and to understand her concern about Chinese from all walks of life at that time.
