Louis Cha, better known by his pen name Jin Yong, has written 15 immensely popular martial-arts novels which have been translated into over a dozen languages and adapted into films, television serials, plays, comics and other media. "Jin" in Chinese means "gold", and Cha certainly had the touch of gold. So important are his novels that a field of study in Chinese literature, Jinology, is dedicated to them.
Jin was actually a filmmaker before he was a novelist. He penned scripts under the pseudonym Lin Huan, earning his first screen credit in 1953, two years before his first novel The Book and the Sword was serialized in the New Evening Post. He had also been a director, having shared the helm with Hu Siao-fung on one film. To celebrate the opening of the "Jin Yong Gallery" at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the Hong Kong Film Archive will present six films in this year's Muse Fest as homage to this great artist. The first two are by Jin himself: The Peerless Beauty (1953), based on his debut script and tailor-made for the screen goddess Hsia Moon, and Bride Hunter (1960), the Shaoxing opera film he co-directed with Hu. The other four are adaptations of his novels: Story of the Vulture Conqueror (1958-1959) and Ashes of Time Redux (2008), from Eagle Shooting Heroes; and The Proud Youth (1978) and Swordsman II (1992), from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Film Screenings: Post-screening Talk (1): The Many Splendours of Jin Yong Post-screening Talk (2): Romance of book and film |

The film screening will specially be held in the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum, where a bronze statue of Dr Sun is situated.
