Jin Yong, the most influential author of Chinese popular literature of the 20th century, is often compared to Stan Lee, since both created a universe of superheroes that inspired many generations of teenages and adults alike. The characters from Jin Yong’s novels have created contemporary models of Chinese masculinity and femininity, and the moral code and culture of jianghu (creation of cliques, independent groups) presented in wuxia literature is reflected in the contemporary society of China, Taiwan and the Chinese diaspora around the world.
A Heart Divided, the fourth volume of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, is a continuation of the story started in A Hero Born.
