Britishman Edward Little and his Villases

LU Shan is near my  hometown. But I did not come to until 2009 with the clients from England.There are hundreds of Villas here.The British Churchman Edward Little, Chinese name Li de Li and his family. He built them on the mountain. He is the earliest real estate business man.they are beatiful houses like yours. Many governors ever lived in there. Like Chairman Mao and Chiang Kai-shek, Leader of the two party.It is very cool in the summer.

 

 

 

Old US Church. some time use for wedding ceremony.  most for visiting.

 

US famous writer Pearl S. Buck,(1892-1973) who is the only one that rewarded the prize of  Pulitzer and Nobel literature.

She was brought to China when she was four month old.She lived in china for about 40 years. She ever lived on this mountain for years since 1922 and started to write in the Cooling town.

She spent her childhood in Zhenjiang city,jiangsu province.then came back to US to the college (Randolph-Macon Woman's College) when he was 17 years old. and back to China when she graduated.

She got married with a US Chuchman and then did missionary work and taught in the University of Nanjing. She wrote in the room the school offered from 1921~1935. And gained the Nobel prize in 1938.

She was the first one who translated one of the four most famous book in Chinese History. it is .

This took her five years to finsh. She thought out the name of the book soon before it set about to publish.

She lived back in USA in 1934 for the reason of back condition in China and missing her child in the US.She remarried in 1935 with a publisher. It is so pity that she was denied to have a travel to China before she died.She must missed China cause she had good memory in the childhood. She passed away in the gloom in Danby,Vermont,on 6th,May,1973,one year after the visit of US President Nixon to China. She was buried in Pennsylvania. On the gravestone only three Chinese Characters sound SAI ZHEN ZHU, her Chinese name.

Thanks to her write, it makes many people  still keep a good memory to China after the Korea War and Vietnam War aand Chinese 10 years Cultural Revolution.

I do not read this book but I am curious what she wrote about Early China.
