Jin Yong is considered by many the pioneer of the wuxia genre (Chinese martial arts fiction). This series, Legends of the Condor Heroes, were one of (if not) the most iconic works in the world of wuxia fics. At any rate, it's certainly enjoyed by my parents; and thanks to this book that I managed to have a full 15-min conversation with my mom without the topic veering into why I am not millionaire, or successful, or having owned a house, or having had children, ya know.
