Rickshaw Boy
Pearl S. Buck did not translate the novel Rickshaw Boy: according to Richard Jean So in the linked resource, she commissioned the translation. It was translated by Evan King (Lao She hated the translation and it was a major part of his eventual distaste for the US). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.84.125.21 (talk) 16:14, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
