Jinyong, the famous HongKong novelist and journalist, the legend who made the huge influence for the generation of Chinese all over the world, pay away at Oct 30th, 2018.
From Wiki, you can find his bio like this:
“ Prof the Honourable Louis Cha Jing-yong (Chinese: 查良鏞; Sidney Lau: Cha4 Leung4 Yung4) (10 March 1924–30 October 2018), better known by his pen name Jin Yong, was a Chinese wuxia (“martial arts and chivalry”) novelist and essayist who co-founded the Hong Kong daily newspaper Ming Pao in 1959 and served as its first editor-in-chief. He was Hong Kong’s most famous writer.
His wuxia novels have a widespread following in Chinese communities worldwide. His 15 works written between 1955 and 1972 earned him a reputation as one of the greatest and most popular wuxia writers ever. By the time of his death, he was the best-selling Chinese author, and over 100 million copies of his works have been sold worldwide (not including an unknown number of pirated copies). According to The Oxford Guide to Contemporary World Literature, Jin Yong’s novels are considered to be of very high quality and are able to appeal to both highbrow and lowbrow tastes. His works have the unusual ability to transcend geographical and ideological barriers separating Chinese communities of the world, achieving a greater success than any other contemporary writer.
His works have been translated into many languages including English, French, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Malay and Indonesian. He has many fans outside of Chinese-speaking areas, as a result of the numerous adaptations of his works into films, television series, comics and video games.
The asteroid 10930 Jinyong (1998 CR2) is named after him.
Jin Yong is named along with Gu Long and Liang Yusheng as the “Three Legs of the Tripod of Wuxia”.
As the follower of his Wuxia noval, grow with the movie and TV episdo from his noval, we can not say more about how much we love him, and to remember him forever, I decide to use my technical skill to create a small mobile app, it covers some of his pictures and songs (based on his noval).
