China's most celebrated martial arts novelist Louis Cha Leung-yung, who is better known by his pen name Jin Yong, passed away in Hong Kong Tuesday. He is considered the grandfather of Chinese martial arts fiction. His famous works of fiction enjoy wide popularity among Chinese-speaking countries. He is one of the best-selling Chinese authors with more than 300 million copies of his works sold worldwide.
Cha was born on March 10, 1924, in Haining in east China's Zhejiang Province and moved to Hong Kong in the 1940s.

In 1955, he published his first martial arts novel The Book and the Sword, in New Evening Post, under the pen name Jin Yong coincidentally.

The novel was an instant success, and he went on to create 15 extremely popular martial arts novels, ending with The Deer and the Cauldron in 1972.

His martial arts novels have inspired production of movies, TV series, radio dramas, stage dramas, video games and various cultural and creative products, deeply influencing the development of popular culture in China over the past decades.

Cha's martial arts stories have widespread followers in Chinese-speaking regions and have been translated into Korean, English, Japanese, French, Vietnamese, Indonesian and several other languages.

A distinguished literary writer aside, Cha was also a prominent figure in the press, social politics and history study.

An asteroid was named after Jin Yong in 2001.

The permanent exhibition of Jin Yong Gallery in the Hong Kong Heritage Museum was set up last year to showcase Cha's creation and contribution to the Hong Kong culture.
