Scholars: It may mean the end of an era
Kong Qingdong, an expert on Jin Yong's works and a professor at Peking University, said: We miss Jin Yong, and we also miss our past and youth.Jin Yong's readers cannot be counted in tens of thousands, but in hundreds of millions. He is probably the only great writer who counts in hundreds of millions.He has indeed influenced many people, and unlike ordinary writers who are so hot for two or three years, what he brings to people may be a lifelong influence.Jin Yong's death may mean the end of an era.
Chen Pingyuan, a professor of the Chinese Department of Peking University, believes that among all the novelists, Jin Yong is the most knowledgeable.Martial arts novels have limits that are difficult to cross, but Jin Yong has surpassed the paradigm of traditional martial arts novels and created new possibilities for martial arts novels.In terms of inheriting traditional Chinese culture, few novels can reach the level of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, which is why many overseas Chinese often let their offspring learn Chinese culture first by reading Jin Yong's novels.

Some media also reviewed Jin Yong's contacts with former Chinese leaders Deng Xiaoping, Hu Yaobang, and Jiang Zemin.Deng Xiaoping's daughter Deng Nan once introduced that Deng Xiaoping liked Jin Yong's novels and often read them before going to bed.
According to an article published in 2013 by the official Chinese publication Party History Expo, when Deng Xiaoping learned that Jin Yong wanted to meet him in 1981, he readily agreed.On July 18 of the same year, Deng Xiaoping met with Jin Yong and his family in Beijing, introduced China's major policies and development direction, and talked about the wrongful killing of Jin Yong's father Zha Shuqing during the anti-revolutionary campaign in the early days of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Jin Yong told Deng Xiaoping at the time that his father's fate was just a tragedy at the time of the change of dynasty, and that he had calmly forgotten his past vengeance.
Shortly after Deng Xiaoping met Jin Yong, the ban on Jin Yong's martial arts novels began to be lifted in mainland China, turning countless people into Jin Yong fans.
In the spring of 1993, Jiang Zemin, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, met with Jin Yong in Beijing and said: Your novel has many readers in the Mainland, and many leaders also love to read it.I haven't read it carefully, but I have read it and know that your novels contain rich historical knowledge, geographical background, Chinese cultural traditions, human customs and so on.He also appreciated Jin Yong's political articles. He said: I read your political articles, and some places can resonate.
