Wild Grass is a celebrated collection of lyrical prose poems by Lu Xun (Lu Hsun), widely regarded as the father of modern Chinese literature. Written between 1924 and 1926, the twenty-three pieces in this volume stand as some of the most haunting and enigmatic works in the Chinese literary canon, blending symbolism, existential meditation, and surrealist imagery. The collection confronts themes of solitude, despair, mortality, and the struggle for individual will against a suffocating social order — sentiments that resonated deeply in the turbulent political climate of Republican China. Published by the Foreign Languages Press in Peking, this edition presents Lu Xun's introspective masterwork to an international readership, offering a rare window into the psychological and philosophical interior of one of Asia's most important literary voices. Dark, spare, and profoundly moving, Wild Grass remains an indispensable text for any serious student of world literature.
