An enthralling account of modern China, Wild Grass depicts the small pockets of grassroots resistance against corruption and oppression within the all-powerful Communist Party. It is a history told through the stories of the Chinese people, as Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Ian Johnson recounts the individual struggles of three people he encountered while living in China. He describes a former Red Guard turned paralegal, jailed for fighting against illegal taxes; a young architect who exposed the destruction of Beijing's ancient buildings; and the daughter of a Falun Gong convert, seeking answers about her mother's death in prison. Beautiful and impassioned, Wild Grass interweaves China's turbulent history with the crises faced in its villages and cities today, and identifies the nation's future political battlefield as its citizens risk imprisonment and even death in their campaigns for real freedom.
Ian Johnson first went to China in 1984 and later lived there for seven years as the Beijing correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. In 2001, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on China. He is currently the Journal's Berlin Bureau Chief.
