2024 marks the centenary of the birth of Jin Yong (Dr Louis
Cha), a literary giant in Chinese literature. "Wherever there are Chinese
people, Jin Yong's world of ‘wuxia' can be found." Throughout his life,
Jin Yong created a total of 15 martial arts novels and shaped over 1,400
characters. His works have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and been
translated into 14 different languages. With profound humanistic, social, and
artistic values, they not only appeal to the wide audience but have also had a
far-reaching impact on the global literary world, meriting a place among
classic works of literature in China and even the world.
#1 "A Path to Glory – Jin Yong's Centennial
Memorial" was launched on 15 March 2024 and will span six months. The aim
is to allow all "chivalrous people" to relive the martial arts
classics and pay tribute to the centenary of the birth of immortal Jin Yong.
The event "A Path
to Glory – Jin Yong's Centennial Memorial" is supported by the Hong Kong
Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund, the Hong Kong Tourism Board, and the
Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Hong Kong is the birthplace of Jin
Yong's "wuxia" novels and a melting pot of Eastern and Western
cultures, and the six-months event aim is to allow all "chivalrous
people" to relive the martial arts classics and pay tribute to the
centenary of the birth of immortal Jin Yong. The event will feature museum and
public art exhibitions, presenting a cultural event themed around Jin Yong
across Hong Kong through cross-media collaborations with local talents, immersive
digital experiences, sculptures, paintings, calligraphy,
design art, film and television entertainment, and music.
