Abstract During her Nanjing period, Pearl S.Buck was unhappily married to John Lossing Buck, caring for her disabled daughter, Carol, and forging the literary career that would make her famous. In her fiction and memoirs from the period, she also began to describe a series of marriages, her awareness of the sexual mores of China differed from those in the West, from those of her missionary family were dealt with in The First Wife and Other Stories directly and indirectly, and sometimes she used the plight of Chinese women as projections of her own concerns.
