Wu Jianren (T: 吳趼人, S: 吴趼人, P: Wú Jiǎnrén, W: Wu Chien-jen; 1866–1910), also known as Wu Woyao (T: 吳沃堯, S: 吴沃尧, P: Wú Wòyáo, W: Wu Wo-yao) was a Chinese writer of the late Qing period. A native of Foshan, Guangdong province, he is known for several novels, namely Bizarre Happenings Eyewitnessed over Two Decades and The Sea of Regret. Wu Jianren published one of the earliest modern Chinese novel in the 19th century. He is a representative of modern Chinese novel for two reasons, time and his technique. The time he posted his modern Chinese novel is ahead Lu Xun at least one decade, and his technique about narrator and centralized character is ahead of other novels that written in the same time. Wu Jianren wrote the most articles in the group of writers who answered Liang Qichao's call. His novel 《二十年目睹之怪现状》(Bizarre Happenings Eyewitnessed over Two Decades) and 《九命奇冤》(strange grievance case of nine lives) has deeply affected modern Chinese novel.
