    After Liang Yusheng's death, a friend reminisced: "He said he wrote most about the Tianshan Mountains in his novels, yet he never actually went to Xinjiang. He said that when he wrote martial arts novels, he was actually writing about scholars. A martial artist without culture is a brute and a rogue; and a scholar is too weak, unable to even kill a chicken. Martial arts is actually the ideal of scholars—to shoulder righteousness with an iron will and compose brilliant articles with a skillful pen—the chivalrous dream of scholars throughout the ages!" This book tells the story of "What is he like, drifting aimlessly, a scholar in the martial arts world!"
