Character evaluation:
1. Jin Yong is a successful newspaper tycoon and a successful martial arts novel creator. It is appropriate to define him as a master of popular literature. Since he is called a master of popular literature, it is still necessary to conduct a debate on the elegance and popular views of literature through his novels (Chinese Literature Online Review).
2. Jin Yong is like a ‘black hole’. He brings the tradition to its fullest, and if anyone comes close to him, it will turn into nothing, and there is no comparison at all (Huang Yiping).
3. The profound meaning expressed in Jin Yong’s works is indeed beyond the reach of Gu Long and Liang Yusheng. He is not only the master of modern martial arts novels, but also a generation of famous writers who cannot be ignored in the history of Chinese literature (ifeng.com Review ).
Main achievements: Officer of the Order of the British Empire, Commander of French Arts and Letters from the French Ministry of Culture, Knight of the French Government’s Legion of Honor, member of the Board of Trustees of Oxford University, and Grand Bauhinia Medal of Hong Kong.
Jin Yong’s martial arts novels have gone through three versions: the old version, the new version and the newly revised version. Manuscripts from 1955 to 1972 are called old editions and were mainly published in newspapers and periodicals. There are also many separate editions without copyright, which may have been lost now. Starting from 1970, Jin Yong began to revise all his works, and by 1980 all the revisions were completed; this was a new edition, titled "Collection of Jin Yong's Works". In 1999, Jin Yong restarted the revision work and renamed it the New Revised Edition (or Century New Revised Edition). So far, except for "The Deer and the Cauldron", all new editions have been completed.
