Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Louis Cha, GBM,
OBE , better known by his pen name Jin Yong, is a modern
Chinese-language novelist. Co-founder of the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao,
which he started in 1959, he was the paper's first editor-in-chief.
Cha's fiction, which is of the Wuxia ("martial arts and chivalry")
genre, has a widespread following in Chinese-speaking areas, including
Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the United
States. His fifteen works written between 1955 and 1972 earned him a
reputation as one of the finest Wuxia writers ever. He is currently the
best-selling Chinese author alive; over 100 million copies of his works
have been sold worldwide (not including unknown number of bootleg
copies).
