The exhibition was jointly organized by the Shanghai Library, the Shanghai Art Collection Museum, and the New York Public Library, with the support of Pearl S. Buck International, the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Foundation, the West Virginia and Regional History Center, and Pearl S. Buck's Former Residence in Zhenjiang, China. The ceremony was attended by over 40 guests, including organizers, leading scholars in Pearl S. Buck studies and Sino-American cultural research, as well as reporters. Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973) was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. At just five months after her birth, Pearl Buck was brought to China by her parents, who were Southern Presbyterian missionaries. The exhibition also features authorized replicas of Pearl S. Buck's Pulitzer Prize certificate and Nobel Prize medal, both recommended by the organizers.
