Buck lived much of her life in China. Her father, Absalom Sydenstricker, was a Presbyterian missionary stationed in the small town of Chinkiang, outside Nanking. Pearl was born in America in 1892 during her parents' home leave, but moved back to China at the age of three months. She was raised by a Chinese amah who told her popular tales and myths, and she could speak and write both English and Chinese by the age of four. She also played freely with the village children, and in this way learned much about Chinese life through experience. In 1900, when Pearl was eight years old, the Boxer Rebellion threw the Sydenstrickers' life into turmoil. Chinese nationalists turned on Westerners, and for a while the family feared for their lives. Absalom sent Pearl, her mother, and her baby sister to Shanghai, which was relatively safe for Westerners, but in 1901 the family returned to America. However, they were soon back in China again, regardless of danger. In 1909, Pearl enrolled in Miss Jewell's School in Shanghai, a school that had formerly been a place for privileged Western girls to be educated but had lost much of its prestige in the previous years. While studying there, Pearl also volunteered at The Golden Door, a shelter for Chinese slave girls and prostitutes. Her experience here would mold her as a writer and as a person; throughout her years in China, Pearl would continue to pay particular attention to the plight of oppressed and poor Chinese women and girls.

23. R-MWC - Pearl S. Buck Biography of the author from her alma mater, RandolphMacon Woman's College. http://www.rmwc.edu/buck/pearl.asp

Pearl Sydenstricker Buck (1892-1973) , a 1914 graduate of Randolph-Macon Woman's College, was a woman far ahead of her time. She was a champion of civil rights, women's rights, children's rights, and the rights of those with disabilities long before these issues were talked about in public. Her long and tireless effort to increase understanding between Asia and America left a lasting imprint on the world. In many ways, Buck was a pioneer who appreciated Chinese life and culture as few Westerners had done before, and she shared her provocative insights with the world. Her most widely recognized book, The Good Earth , for which she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, offered a description of life in a Chinese peasant village and included the perspectives of women who lived and experienced everyday hardships. As a result, she changed forever the way we see Asia and the people with whom she lived and worked for more than 40 years. Buck was also an outspoken activist who used her position and considerable influence to advance the causes to which she was so passionately dedicated. In 1949, she helped to set up an international adoption agency, Welcome House, Inc., the first interracial and international adoption agency in the world. Ultimately, Buck herself adopted several interracial children. The Pearl S. Buck Foundation, started in 1964, was dedicated to helping Amerasian children. Welcome House and the Pearl S. Buck Foundation merged in 1992.

PEARL SYDENSTRICKER BUCK, 1892 - 1973 Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker was born on June 26, 1892, in Hillsboro, West Virginia. Her parents, Absalom and Caroline Sydenstricker, were Southern Presbyterian missionaries, stationed in China. Pearl was the fourth of seven children (and one of only three who would survive to adulthood). She was born when her parents were near the end of a furlough in the United States; when she was three months old, she was taken back to China, where she spent most of the first forty years of her life. The Sydenstrickers lived in Chinkiang (Zhenjiang), in Kiangsu (Jiangsu) province, then a small city lying at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal. Pearl's father spent months away from home, itinerating in the Chinese countryside in search of Christian converts; Pearl's mother ministered to Chinese women in a small dispensary she established. From childhood, Pearl spoke both English and Chinese. She was taught principally by her mother and by a Chinese tutor, Mr. Kung. In 1900, during the Boxer Uprising, Caroline and the children evacuated to Shanghai, where they spent several anxious months waiting for word of Absalom's fate. Later that year, the family returned to the US for another home leave. In 1910, Pearl enrolled in Randolph-Macon Woman's College, in Lynchburg, Virginia, from which she graduated in 1914. Although she had intended to remain in the US, she returned to China shortly after graduation when she received word that her mother was gravely ill. In 1915, she met a young Cornell graduate, an agricultural economist named John Lossing Buck. They married in 1917, and immediately moved to Nanhsuchou (Nanxuzhou) in rural Anhwei (Anhui) province. In this impoverished community, Pearl Buck gathered the material that she would later use in The Good Earth and other stories of China.
