这是美国著名小说家、诺贝尔文学奖得主赛珍珠的畅销佳作之一。作者从美国文化的视角,扫视本世纪早期在新旧思想转变时的一个中国家庭里所引起的中美文化撞击。故事由两部分组成,第一部分极富诗意和浪漫色彩,第二部分情节错落有致,兼带可笑的道德说教。 This is one of the best-selling masterpieces of the famous American novelist, Nobel Prize winner Pearl S. Buck. From the perspective of American culture, the author glimpses the Sino-American cultural impact caused by a Chinese family when the old and new ideas changed in the early part of this century. The story consists of two parts, the first part is very poetic and romantic, the second part of the plot patchwork, and ridiculous moral preaching.
