Only today did I know that Hollywood had already made such a famous Chinese line drawing of Pearl Buck into a blockbuster as early as the 1930s.

Before that, I only knew that Katherine Hepburn played the Chinese Red Lady, and I was amazed by Queen Kay's performance at that time. In today's era of China's rise, looking back on the collision between Eastern and Western cultures, I suddenly feel that the world is vast and human beings are stupid. trapped in it.

In fact, this blockbuster has not yet been seen, and I have only read the original book, but I have learned from everyone's word of mouth that it is very good. I hope that I will be able to witness the little sparks of the East and the West in that era!
