    It's excellent, you must watch Pearl Buck. As a foreigner who has gone deep into rural life in China, he can clearly see the essence of various problems in China.

The Good Earth quotes

  • Wang Lung: [must sell his land to feed his family but the buyers take advantage of him] Thieves ! Thieves ! And well you know I must sell.

    O-Lan: No ! Not the land. We'll not sell the land. We'll keep it. We'll go south and when we return, we'll still have the land.

    Uncle: But I've arranged it. I brought these men here. You MUST sell !

    O-Lan: Is it your land ? Did you buy it bit by bit ? The land is our life... and it's better to go south... or die walking... than to give it to you for nothing.

    Liu - Grain Merchant: Indeed.

    Elder Son: If I'm not too unworthy, I hope to win a degree in agriculture.

    Liu - Grain Merchant: Degree ? Agriculture ?

    Wang Lung: That's some kind of paper that will make it rain just enough, but not too much.
