Louis Cha, GBM, OBE (born 6 February 1924), better known by his pen name Jin Yong (金庸, sometimes read and/or written as "Chin Yung"), is a modern Chinese-language novelist. Having co-founded the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao in 1959, he was the paper's first editor-in-chief.
Cha's fiction, which is of the wuxia ("martial arts and chivalry") genre, has a widespread following in Chinese-speaking areas, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the United States. His 15 works written between 1955 and 1972 earned him a reputation as one of the finest wuxia writers ever. He is currently the best-selling Chinese author alive; over 100 million copies of his works have been sold worldwide (not including unknown number of bootleg copies).
Cha's works have been translated into English, French, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Malay and Indonesian. He has many fans abroad as well, owing to the numerous adaptations of his works into films, television series, comics and video games.
金庸,大紫荊勳賢,OBE(英語:Louis Cha Leung-yung,1924年3月10日-2018年10月30日),本名查良鏞,浙江海寧人,祖籍江西婺源,1948年移居香港。自1950年代起,以筆名「金庸」創作多部膾炙人口的武俠小說,包括《射鵰英雄傳》、《神鵰俠侶》、《鹿鼎記》等,歷年來金庸筆下的著作屢次改編為電視劇、電影等,對華人影視文化可謂貢獻重大,亦奠定其成為華人知名作家的基礎。金庸早年於香港創辦《明報》系列報刊,他亦被稱為「香港四大才子」之一。
Some say this story is the best love story Jin Yong had written. To me it's the story where a lot of slices regarding love matters happened, not necessarily the best one. Some madly fall in love with the main character Kuo Yung or the main couple or his lover (not spoiling anything here). I find him irritating, personally and periodly - not necessarily that I hate him or his love adventure. The continuation of previous book of this Condor Triology (A hero born) was not too bad, despite illogical twists sometimes and messed up timeline. I used to like the drama series way too much when I was young, that now I start questioning my younger self. Anyway it's still a good piece of story for long drama.
This one has never appealed to me much. I developed a rather intense dislike for the main protagonists very early on and I was never able to shake it off. The central theme doesn't exactly feature high on my favourites list, either, it's just the type of romance I simply can't relate to. And I'll take Gu Long's brief but intense duels over Jin Yong's action scenes any day. Not a bad read - but not a book I'm likely to ever return to.
Not sure if this is the same version I read, since it was such a long time ago. Regardless though, the Condor Heroes trilogy is definitely one of my favorites amongst Jin Yong's works. Would love to do a re-read one of these days!
