Updated with pictures and additional excerpts and reflections from reading the different editions of the novel.

"Suddenly, the sound of the zither turned loud and forceful, with the implication of battles and fights, but the flute play remained elegant and graceful. After a while, the zither play also turned mild and gentle, and both the zither and the flute switched between high notes and low notes back and forth.

A story about someone who never frowns at misfortune, who can laugh even in the face of death, and who lives through life without any ambition is always admirable. Leave it to Jin Yong to create an incredible adventure for such a character, combined with lovable supporting characters and unique enemies. Definitely one of my favorite books ever.
My first and favourite book of Jin Yong, with my favourite protagonist in the entire wuxia genre. While reading this, I laughed, I cried, I was angry, I was terrified, I was heartbroken, and I was completely satisfied by the time I finished. I'm so glad this work was my introduction to Jin Yong that turned me into a lifelong fan.
My favorite book from Jin Yong. I re-read it once every year. I still wonder whether there is a good quality translation so I can introduce it to my non-Chinese friends. Jin Yong is a great Chinese author. He came from a scholar's family (as far back as early Qing dynasty) and wrote fourteen great books. His books are like reading the story of "Crouching tigher, Hidden Dragon," but with a lot more breadth and depth. They are also often very funny. His books are tremendously influential among Chi...more
Fantastic book. I can't describe how much I love the 2 main characters, Linghu Chong and Ren Ying Ying. Linghu Chong is a very believable character, someone I can imagine in read life. He is loyal, loving, and never forgets his roots. Yet he is also proud and playful, which makes him less perfect and more human.

Recommends it for:
anyone who reads Chinese but I think an English translation is going to come out some time
One of the best martial arts novels out there. Its plot is really interesting and the characters are memorable.
