Modern Chinese literature has been much influenced by foreign literature. It is well-known that Lu Xun, who was christened the founder of modern Chinese literature, translated many foreign literary works into Chinese, and was influenced by them. Among many literary works of Lu Xun, Wild Grass was strikingly influenced by the foreign literature. Among many writers, Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev is regarded as the most important author to Lu Xun. Both Lu Xun and I. S. Turgenev lived in similar times and social environments, and possessed the creative mind, so that the atmosphere of their works also resembled each other. Also these two writers, as the pioneer of their own prose and poem, became very angry about the stupidity and falling behind of people, so they revealed the characteristics of the idea of enlightenment. It became clear that to some extent I. S. Turgenev had influenced on Wild Grass of Lu Xun. But Wild Grass overcame the characteristics of I. S. Turgenev's literary works via the aspects of a thorough revolutionary democracy. In other words, I. S. Turgenev was a progressive writer who was looking for the reality of life. Due to the environment of times, class, society, and personal experiences, however, he did not have a sharp observation of, and also a strong consciousness of, his times. So, from the viewpoint of representing philosophical thoughts as well as abundant historical sense, I. S. Turgenev's prose can not be compared to Wild Grass, which shows society, life and internal impression. Based on these aspects, we can say that Lu Xun's literary works transcend, and have more vitality than, those of I. S. Turgenev.
