Last episode, we discussed Jin Yong and his contributions to Kung Fu literature. This episode we take a look at his final work, the "Sword of the Yue Maiden." We encounter some ancient Chinese punks with swords and how their killing of a little girl's goat ends up percipitating their demise. 

This podcast, we take a look at the life and times of Jin Yong, along with the genre he came to define, modern kung fu literature. We explore Jin Yong's path to becoming China's best selling writer, putting out more books than JK Rowling. We also look at the January 17th, 1954 kung fu match that inspired him and others to turn kung fu into a phenomenon that would over take the world decades later.
