A new and revised edition of The Proud Smiling Wanderer by Jin Yong. The author's most famous book. The story is different from most of his other books in the way this story has no specific historic background, but an in depth portrayal of human nature with its anti-traditional themes.

《笑傲江湖》是對一般武俠小說所描寫的武林世界表現出明顯質疑的作品,這部小說從根本上解構了江湖神話,書中的江湖∕武林世界,充滿了權力紛爭,充斥著各種謀略、殺戮和血腥,不再是人們想...more

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. All of a sudden, the sounds of both the zither and the flute changed completely, a...more

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.

read this translated piecemeal, courtesy of VERY kind people on the net! the movies did a better job, conceptually. jin yong's ending is a little strained. anyway, it's very enjoyable, esp if you like swordplay :P

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.

This is wrote by a famous writer named Jin Yong. He has wrote many good novels in China. And this book just about a person who named Lin Huchong how to get his half and how become successful story.

Jin Yong's metaphor on politics and politicians is a surprisingly fun read, with an approachable, smart-mouthed hero I want to bring home as my new big brother.

One of the best martial arts novels out there. Its plot is really interesting and the characters are memorable.
