Mr Louis Cha began weaving his martial arts world under the pseudonym “Jin Yong” in 1955 and his martial arts novels were serialised in several local newspapers. By 1972, he had written 15 immensely popular novels that are still devoured today by readers around the world. In his well-constructed martial arts fiction, Jin Yong fuses Chinese history with the legendary jianghu, the underworld of martial arts masters, and creates a myriad of unique and distinctive characters. His works have provided infinite inspirations for movies, television series and comics. A number of unforgettable characters in Jin Yong’s world of martial arts come to life in this set of six stamps and a stamp sheetlet issued by Hongkong Post.
