Pearl S. Buck, an American Nobel Prize-winning writer, has a strong bond with Japan and has written numerous works on the subject. In The Big Wave, Buck presents a vivid portrayal of the trauma that follows a tsunami and its long-lasting effects on individuals. This paper analyzes how the Japanese boy Jiya recovered from his trauma and analyzes the reasons for his resilience. According to Judith Herman, trauma recovery has three stages. Jiya goes through all three and finally recovers. Buck thinks highly of the love from Jiya's friend Kino and his family. Without their care and love, Jiya could not have conquered his fear and gone back to normal life. Philosophy of death also inspires him to face danger without fear, and encourages acceptance of life's impermanence. This philosophy, combined with the nurturing environment provided by Kino's family, enables Jiya to rebuild his life and find new purpose. The novel not only provides a poignant narrative of personal recovery but also offers valuable insights into the broader human experience of trauma and resilience. Buck's writings on the Japanese people also present Asian people to the world, so that East and West can better understand each other and promote their mutual exchange.
