Question

He was a journalist and a political critic （政治評論家）. But to most people, he is the most influential martial arts novelist in the Chinese-speaking world.

Louis Cha Leung-yung, better known by his pen name Jin Yong,passed away at the age of 94 on Oct, 30th 2018 in Hong Kong.

During his lifetime, Jin Yong wrote 15 martial arts（武俠）novels.Over 300 million copies of his books have been sold around the world.He also created some of the most well-known characters in the history of Chinese literature, including Guo Jing, Wei Xiaobao and Linghu Chong.

Jin Yong was not the first person to write about the martial arts world known as jianghu, but no one can deny （否認）that he has written some of its best stories.His works were not only a joy for people to read, but also helped to shape Chinese people's spirits and values in recent decades （十年）. Jin Yong once said, “Wuxia（martial arts novels）is not so much about Wu（kung fu）, but mainly about xia, a combination（組合）of courage, justice and self-sacrifice （自我犧牲）.”

These values have been passed on to generations of Chinese through his books, as well as a large number of movies and TV shows that have been adapted from his novels.

“Jin Yong turns novels into an encyclopedia（百科全書）of Chinese history, medicine,geography, mathematics. .”Boston University professor Petrus Liu told NPR.

Jin Yong once said that he hoped people would still read his books even 100 or 200 years after his death. We can say as long as the noble （高尚的） qualities that are mentioned in his stories never die out, neither will his great works themselves.
