'''Jin Yong''' (the [[Pen Name]] of Louis Cha) is one of the most influential modern Chinese-language novelists. He was the best-selling living Chinese author before his death in 2018. He is well known for his historical [[Wuxia]] fiction--he pretty much single-handedly raised the [[Wuxia]] to a "legitimate" art form ([[Wuxia]] novels having gained an unfair reputation as "things teenagers and immature adults read") and is the standard against which all other [[Wuxia]] novelists are compared--and a great many [[Live Action Adaptation]] series have been made based on his books. Some of his novels have been officially translated into English.
