He was a journalist (记者) and a political critic (政治评论家) . But to most people, he was one of the most famous martial arts novelist (武侠小说家) in the Chinese-speaking world.
Louis Cha Leung-yung, better known by his pen name Jin Yong, passed away at 94 years old on 30 October 2018 in Hong Kong. Jin Yong was not the first person to write about the martial arts world known as jianghu, but he has written some of its best stories. His works are not only a joy for people to read, but also help to shape Chinese people's spirits and values in recent decades.
Jin Yong once said, "Wuxia(martial arts) is not so much about wu(kung fu), but mainly about xia, a combination (结合) of courage, justice (公平) and self-sacrifice (自我牺牲)." These values have been passed on to Chinese of all ages through his books. Jin Yong's books are not only about heroes who fight for justice and righteousness (正义) . They also show people the beauty of almost every aspect of Chinese culture. "You can't think too highly of Jin Yong'scultural influence. He turns novels into an encyclopedia (百科全书) of Chinese history, medicine, geography, mathematics..." Professor Petrus Liu of Boston University said.
Jin Yong once said that he hoped people would still read his books even 100 or 200years after his death. It is probably safe to say that as long as the noble qualities mentioned in his stories never die out, neither will his great
works themselves.

七、One possible version:
J.K. Rowling
J.K. Rowling was born into a common family on 31 July 1965 in Wales, the UK. At six, she started writing stories and wrote a story about rabbits.
In 1991 she moved to Portugal and worked there as a teacher. She got married in 1992 but ended her marriage in 1993. Then she returned to the UK and lived a poor life until 1997, when her first Harry Potter book was published. It was a great success and earned her lots of money. During the following 10 years, she finished another six Harry Potter books. They were all popular around the world.
I admire J.K. Rowling not only because of her books but also because of her spirit. She never gives up and has devoted all her time to writing amazing books.。
