As a child, the vivid descriptions of China in Nobel and Pulitzer Prize­winner Pearl S. Buck's books sparked Idema's interest in the country. He later read classic Chinese literature and spent whole days pouring through works at the National Library of China. 第②步 刷模拟·刷高考 第①步 刷基础·刷经典 4 While many other experts on China focused on the country's economic transformation, Idema continued to study traditional Chinese literature. “There were scholars studying law, religion and society, but not traditional Chinese literature, which was my personal interest，” Idema explains. Finding reference books for his research, especially regional publications, used to be a huge challenge, and Idema used to spend a lot of time collecting books and other materials during visits to China. Now it is much more convenient with the Internet. 第②步 刷模拟·刷高考 第①步 刷基础·刷经典 5 I dema usually chooses less­known subjects for his research and tries to get firsthand materials.
