Su Xun is a Chinese author known for social fiction. Publicly available information about him is limited, and his nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and professional experience are not clearly documented. Two of his works are held in the collection, The Record of Polishing a Mirror in the Dusty World and The Master, both classified as social fiction, which suggests that his writing centers on realistic social themes. Judging from the titles and the genre, Su Xun's work tends to draw on everyday life and the ways of the world, developing its narratives through characters' circumstances and shifting relationships, with a realistic touch that attends to ordinary people's choices and fortunes within their social environment. The first title carries a sense of refining one's character and observing the mortal world, while the second hints at contests among skilled figures in some field and the play of human nature. Since the available material is confined to titles and genre, a fuller assessment of his style, narrative structure, and influence is not yet possible, but his works have entered the ranks of social fiction and may be of interest to readers drawn to realistic themes.
