Description
Ian Johnson's Wild Grass sheds light on China's reality beyond its glittering cities. He recounts the stories of three ordinary people who find themselves caught up in the struggle against oppression and government corruption.
Their lives are marked by unexpected roles, as they risk imprisonment and even death to stand up for what is right. Johnson's book offers a nuanced portrayal of China's complex politics and its impact on everyday citizens.
