Louis Cha Leung-yung, one of the most influential（有影响力的） Chinese novelists and better known by his pen name Jin Yong, passed away on Oct.30th, 2018, in Hong Kong. Cha was most famous for his wuxia novels.

During his lifetime, Jin Yong wrote 15 martial arts novels. Over 300 million copies of his works have been sold in the Chinese-speaking world. He also created some of the most well-known characters in the history of Chinese literature, including Guo Jing, Wei Xiaobao and Linghu Chong.

Jin Yong was not the first person to write about the martial arts world known as jianghu, but no one can deny（否认） that he has written some of its best stories. His works were not only a joy for people to read, but also helped to shape Chinese people’s spirit and values in recent decades（十年）. Jin Yong once said, “Wuxia (martial arts novels) is not so much about wu (kung fu), but mainly about xia, a combination（结合体，联合体） of courage, justice（公正） and self-sacrifice（自我牺牲）.”

These values have been passed on to generation of Chinese through his books, as well as a large number of movies and TV shows that have been adapted from his novels.

“Jin Yong turns novels into an encyclopedia（百科全书） of Chinese history, medicine, geography, mathematics …” Boston University professor Petrus Liu told NPR.

Jin Yong once said that he hoped people would still read his books even 100 or 200 years after his death. We can say as long as the noble（高尚的） qualities that are mentioned in his stories never die out, neither will his great works themselves.

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Louis Cha is Jin Yong’s pen name.

B.Jin Yong was the first man that created jianghu.

C.Jin Yong’s works have a strong influence on Chinese people’s spirits.

D.Jin Yong’s values of wuxia are only passed on through his books.

2.In paragraph 4, the underlined word “adapted” means ________.

A.reduced B.organized C.published D.remade

3.What’s the best title of this passage?

A.An Influential Journalist（新闻工作者） B.King of Wuxia

Louis Cha Leung-yung, one of the greatest Chinese wuxia fiction writers, passed away on October 30, 2018, at the age of 94. Better known by his pen name Jin Yong, Cha built a fantastic wuxia world and created different types of heroes admired by a large number of fans.

It is said that where there are Chinse-speaking communities, there are people reading Jin Yong’s books.

In 1950, Cha, a newspaper reporter, met and worked together with Chen Wentong, who wrote wuxia stories under the pen name of Liang Yusheng. Encouraged by Chen, Cha began to publish his first novel five years later. Then he set up daily newspaper Ming Pao with Shen Baoxin in 1959, where he published some of his following works. Today, Ming Pao becomes one of the most important newspapers in Hong Kong which influences the society and people’s life.

From 1955 to 1972, Cha wrote 14 novels and one short story of wuxia. The interest and taste of readers have been changing, but his books continue to be attractive. His works have been adapted into films and TV series for many times, such as The Return of the Condor Heroes(《神雕侠侣》).

No matter how smart and strong Cha’s heroes appear, they are not perfect and make mistakes from time to time, just like all of us in real life. What makes someone a hero is the courage and ability to make decisions and devote themselves to their communities. The kung fu masters in the books are loyal to friends and family while brave enough to die for their homeland if needed.

The purpose of Cha in writing novels is to show traditional values and qualities. “Traditional values are shown through the characters and their stories, not by talking to readers,” Cha once said.
