Abstract The American writer Pearl S. Buck sympathizes with the people of the East who suffer greatly under the Western imperialist rule because of her special cross-cultural growing background. As a result, she often makes profound reflection and criticism against colonialism from post-colonist point of view. Her novel Come, My Beloved is a typical case in which she portrayed the British rulers, Indian nationalists and American missionaries in the first half of 20th century to reveal the real conflicts in Indian colonial society and to show her own desire of a harmonious world in which people of different nations can live peacefully together.
