Tributes have been pouring in for Hong Kong martial arts novelist Louis Cha Leung-yung, the world’s most popular Chinese martial arts writer, who died on Tuesday after a long illness. He was 94.

全球最受欢迎的中国香港武侠小说作家金庸先生于本周二病逝，享年94岁，人们纷纷向他致哀。

Louis Cha, the byword for wuxia, also known as martial arts legend, not just started a reading and TV craze for generations of Chinese people, but became a cultural phenomenon with Chinese characters across the globe.

提到武侠传奇，无人不知金庸。他不仅掀起了一代又一代中国人的阅读和电视热潮，也成为了一种全球汉字文化现象。

Wuxia has a special bond to most Chinese people, therefore, wherever Chinese people live, there is wuxia. Wu means martial arts, and xia means a heroic and chivalrous spirit.

大多数中国人都有着武侠情结。因此，中国人生活在哪里，哪里就有武侠。“武”是武术，“侠”是行侠仗义。

Like most classics, the stories he wrote are set against a meticulously researched historical background. And those stories filled with secret societies, fight for thrones, honor and betrayal, hospitality and love, revenge and duty as well as the magical kung fu style.

和大多数经典作品一样，金庸的小说都设在仔细研究过的历史背景下，故事中充满了秘密团体，为权力、荣誉、背叛，豪情、爱情、复仇和责任而战，书中的武侠功夫也出神入化。

It is no exaggeration to say that Cha’s novels are the source of inspiration for film and TV producers, and deeply influenced the development of popular culture in China and Asia at large over the past decades. Top movie stars, from Brigitte Lin, Joey Wong to Jet Li and Andy Lau, starred in the screen adaptations of his novels.

可以毫不夸张地说，金庸的小说是影视制片人灵感的源泉，在过去的几十年里，它深深地影响了中国和亚洲流行文化的发展。顶级电影明星林青霞、王祖贤，李连杰和刘德华都曾出演过金庸小说改编的电影。
