Bilingual in English and Chinese. A towering figure in the literary history of twentieth-century China, Lu Xun has exerted significant influence through his short stories, which remain as powerful today as when first written. Like many Chinese intellectuals searching for a solution to China's problems, Lu Xun went to Japan to study medicine, which he later abandoned for a career in writing. As a writer he hoped to be a far more effective weapon in the effort to save China. A prolific author of pungent and "dagger-like" essays, Lu Xun was also a tireless translator of Western critical and literary works. Wild Grass is a collection of twenty-three prose poems written between 1924 and 1926. Some notable titles include Autumn Night, The Kite, My lost Love, The Epitaph, and so on. These poems can be appreciated for their literary qualities, and can be adapted for use in language learning - English or Chinese. Each selection is appropriately annotated.

《野草》是鲁迅先生创作生涯中唯一的一部散文诗集，其中收录了散文诗二十三篇。这些作品，按鲁迅先生的说法是包含了他自己一生的人生哲学。全书以曲折幽晦的象征手法表达了他对现实的失望和愤懑，其文笔深沉隽永，意象玄妙奇美，是中国现代诗歌中的经典佳作，同时，也是研究鲁迅先生思想的重要资料。本书为英汉对照读物。
