She and her husband subsequently taught at Jinling University (the predecessor of Nanjing University) and lived in this quiet little house. It was during this beautiful period of over a decade that Pearl S. Buck wrote ‘The Exile’ and the Nobel Prize-winning ‘The Good Earth’, among other excellent works.
