BEIJING —
China plans to open a cultural exchange center in the former home of Pearl S. Buck, the American author who won a Nobel prize for her novel about a Chinese peasant family, an official report said Tuesday.
Buck, author of “The Good Earth,” lived in China for 36 years. Her missionary parents came to Zhenjiang, in coastal Jiangsu province, in 1892, when she was an infant.
Officials in Zhenjiang plan to convert her home, which has been well preserved, into a center for Sino-U.S. exchanges.
