would be among the hottest names for normal Chinese people since his novels are widely spread in the Chinese world. It seems all his novels had been shot as TV series or movies.
Jin Yon, born February 6, 1924, pen name of Louis Cha is one of the most influential modern Chinese-language novelists. Co-founder of the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao, he was its first editor-in-chief and held this position until 1993.Cha’s fiction has a widespread following in Chinese-speaking areas, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. His fifteen novels and short fiction - composed between 1955 and 1972 - earned him a reputation as one of the finest wuxia (”martial arts and chivalry”) writer ever. He is the best-selling Chinese author alive; over 30 million copies of his works have been sold worldwide (over 100 million if one includes bootleg copies). Cha’s works have been translated into Korean, English, Japanese, French, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Burmese and Thai and he has many fans abroad as well, thanks to the numerous adaptations of his works made into films, television series, and video games.
Cha wrote a total of 15 pieces, of which one (”Sword of the Yue Maiden”) was a short story and the other 14 were novels and novellas of various length. Most of his novels were initially published in dailyinstalments in the newspaper.
Jinyong’s wuxia send people into an imaginary world out of our normal life. So much knowledge of Chinese history, Chinese kungfu, Chinese medicine and the excellent love stories involved make them widely spread among the Chinese all over the world.
