This "Jin Yong Biography" is very real and allowed me to see the unknown side of Jin Yong. The author Fu Guoyong is like a detective, digging out a lot of precious information and correcting many errors about Jin Yong. Moreover, this book reminded me of Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Like Jin Yong, he became an admirable figure through his own efforts and persistence. I think this book is not only a biography about Jin Yong, but also a record of an era. I recommend you to read it.
Jin Yong's life witnessed the changes of the times. Aspiring to be an international commentator, he is famous for his unpopular martial arts. He created Jin Yong's universe and continued the spirit of traditional fantasy novels... He himself admitted that martial arts novels are popular novels and cannot be published on the stage. He hopes that people will recognize his work as an international commentator. Unfortunately, the prejudices in people's hearts are a huge mountain, and even he himself cannot reverse it. It also shows that once the author writes the book, the book no longer belongs to him, but to every reader.
I learned many things from reading this book. A writer insists on studying writing seriously and continuously for decades, and he keeps writing until he is old. Worthy of admiration.
