First, who is Jin Yong?  Let Wikipedia describe in this adoring tribute (we’ve condensed it):  “Louis Cha Jing-yong (查良鏞; 6 February 1924 – 30 October 2018), better known by his pen name Jin Yong (金庸), was a Chinese wuxia (“martial arts and chivalry”) novelist and essayist who co-founded 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 written between 1955 and 1972 earned him a reputation as one of the greatest and most popular wuxia writers ever.  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.”
