  Jinyong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Cha or Zha Liangyong (sometimes Cha Leung Yung), OBE (born June 6, 1924), known to most by his penname Jinyong (Jin Yong) or Kam-yung (Cantonese), is one of the most influential modern Chinese-language novelists who is also the co-founder of the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao.
Cha wrote a total of 15 pieces, of which one ("Sword of the Yue Maiden") was a short story and the other 14 were novels and novellas of various length.
Cha himself has stated that he has never intended for any such couplet, or to have 14 books in the first place; and his explanation is reasonable, since the couplet itself sounds somewhat forced in the second line.

 SPCNET.TV - About Louis Cha [Jin Yong]
Cha does know that in 1984, when his books could finally be published in China after being banned for many years as ideologically unsound, he was told by the director of China's Bureau of Publications that an estimated 40 million pirated copies of his 15 novels were circulating in the country.
Cha also believes what makes a great novel is the realistic depiction of human characters, the power to create and portray a vivid character that people understand, have compassion for and are touched by what he does.

 Biography @ http://i.am/jinyong
Louis Leung-yung Cha, with his pen name as Jin Yong and born in Hangzhou, he is native of Haining, Zhejiang province.
Cha, too, is plagued by constant entreaties for new works, but he is able to meet such demands with an equanimity that Conan-Doyle -- who was always short of cash -- could not.
Cha's novels are sprawling, complex epics featuring the exploits of "dashing heroes and heroines possessing in varying degrees extraordinary prowess" in kung fu, the traditional Chinese martial arts, according to John Minford, an academic at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Cha not only compared the role of the media with that of the People's Liberation Army, but he also added that the media should be under the leadership of the Communist Party, and hinted that he supported the use of military force to bring about reunification with Taiwan.
Cha said that he was certain that Mao understood the dynamics of such a statement; otherwise he would not have launched the Cultural Revolution.
Cha even legitimized China's use of force to bring about unification with Taiwan, saying: "China conducted missile tests in the Taiwan Strait in 1996, and the US sent an aircraft carrier group to the region at the time to prevent the China from using force in the unification of Taiwan.

 Amazon.com: The Deer and The Cauldron: Books: Louis Cha,John Minford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Louis Cha's (Jin Yong's) *The Deer and the Cauldron* is the story of Trinket (Wei Xiaobao), the thirteen-year-old son of a Yangzhou whore, in the Eastern province of Jiangsu, who finds himself caught up in the political intrigues of the early Manchu era, in the mid-1660's.
Louis Cha's main interest is in the plot of this wonderfully convoluted tale of deception and false identities: he sees his genre as a Chinese cousin of the historical fictions of Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Alexandre Dumas and Prosper Merimee.
Louis Cha is perhaps the paramount Chinese adventure novelist of the modern age and with Deer & the Cauldron, his last epic, he introduces one of his most indelible characters--Trinket Wei.

 "The Book and the Sword" Book Review
Although the novels were initially written between 1955 and 1972, it was not until 1997 that the English translation of "The Deer and the Cauldron" was published by Oxford University Press (and that was only the first volume of three!).
Although that translation of Cha's last and, many argue, his best novel was excellent, it still left something to be desired because "The Deer and the Cauldron" was not representative of the genre.
Louis Cha clearly is a student of Chinese history and has interwoven several real life personalities of the time, including the legendary Fragrant Princess, an Uighur girl so enchantingly beautiful that she naturally smelled like flowers.

 Martial Arts Novels, Kung Fu Novels (Wuxia)
Most of Cha's novels were originally serialized and printed in his own Hong Kong newspaper and in Chinese newspapers throughout the world.
Louis Cha's first full-length novel is built around the rumor that the Qing dynasty's greatest emperor, Qianglong, was actually a Han Chinese rather than Manchu due to a baby swap.
Cha's only short story is set in the 5th century BCE, around the time of Sun Tzu (The Art of War).
