Features: The enthusiasm for Jin Yong's novels and film and television adaptations has persisted for two decades, undoubtedly a very special cultural phenomenon. As both a writer and a professor, Cao Bula has previously written martial arts novels, which has given him a unique perspective on the study of martial arts fiction. The author has two motivations for writing this book: first, Jin Yong's novels indeed bring innovation compared to traditional chivalrous tales, and second, his works incorporate so much of traditional Chinese culture. This book is another specialized study on Jin Yong following the author's previous work "Romantic Figures in Jin Yong's Works," and is suitable for Jin Yong fans and liberal arts college students to read.
