Over 300 million copies of his martial arts (武术) novels have been sold in the Chinese-speaking world. Although they are very popular, only a few of Jin Yong’s works have been translated into English. Anna Holmwood studied Chinese at university, and she has spent many years in China. She recommended Jin Yong’s novels to British publisher MacLehose. The publisher was surprised that most of this famous author’s works hadn’t been translated into English yet. MacLehose later bought the rights to some of Jin Yong’s works, and decided to introduce these works to Western readers. After years of hard work the first volume (第一册) of A Hero Born: Legends of the Condor Heroes (《射雕英雄传》), was published in English for the first time in February. The Times described the book as “hugely entertaining” and Book of the Month. After reading A Hero Born, many Western readers said that they couldn’t wait to read the second volume.
