金庸：中國的“莎士比亞”

莎士比亞筆下羅密歐和朱麗葉的愛情故事，滿足了人們在懵懂時期對愛情最浪漫的憧憬，而金庸筆下新穎、曲折、壯烈的武俠故事，則不僅激發了人們內心深處的那份俠義豪情，更讓我們對險惡江湖中秉承的純真愛情羨煞不已。

金庸先生出版的小說數不勝數，《書劍恩仇錄》《射雕英雄傳》《雪山飛狐》《倚天屠龍記》《碧血劍》《絕代佳人》《神雕俠侶》《鹿鼎記》《笑傲江湖》《天龍八部》……無論是豆蔻年華，還是不惑之年，總有一部作品能讓我們暫時告別喧囂浮沉，置身未曾有機會涉足的世外桃源，身臨其境血海江湖里的愛恨情仇，或苦澀、或醇美。

2018年10月30日，在為世人留下一片煙波浩渺的“江湖”之后，金庸先生在香港逝世，享年94歲。

Born in Haining， Jiaxing， Zhejiang Province on March 10th， 1924， Louis Cha was a famous martial9 novelist， journalist， businessman， political reviewer， social activist， and named as one of the“Four Talented Scholars ” in Hong Kong. Louise Cha founded10 the Hong Kong daily newspaper Ming Pao in 1959.

Most of readers thought writing famous martial novels was Louis Chas greatest achievement in his life. Actually， the business of Ming Pao was hard at the beginning， and Louis Cha had to write novels to keep the newspaper running. Several years later， Louis Cha said， “The reason why I started to write martial novels was to make money and keep the newspaper alive.” But this reason mistakenly pushed Louis Cha to be the most famous martial master in the world. Over 300 million copies of his works have been sold in the Chinese-speaking world. His novels have been adapted11 in films， TV and radio series， and deeply influenced the cultural development of Chinese-speaking communities around the world.

Louis Cha has been honored by many top universities in China and in the world， such as Cambridge University， Hong Kong Chinese University， Tsinghua University， Beijing University and so on.

金庸于1924年3月10日出生在浙江嘉興的海寧市。他是著名武俠小說作家、新聞學家、企業家、政治評論家、社會活動家，號稱“香港四大才子”之一。1959年，金庸在香港創辦《明報》。

大多數讀者認為撰寫武俠小說是金庸一生最大的成就。事實上，在《明報》創辦初期，條件艱苦，經營慘淡。金庸不得不靠寫小說來支撐《明報》的發展。多年后，金庸說：“當時寫武俠小說，純粹是為了賺錢和維持報紙的生存。”金庸的這一舉動，卻讓他“誤打誤撞”成為武俠小說的一代宗師。他的作品在華語圈的銷量已經超過3億冊，且多次被改編成電影、電視劇和廣播劇，深刻影響了全球華人社區的文化發展。

金庸先生被多所頂尖名校授予榮譽教授稱號，比如英國劍橋大學、香港中文大學、清華大學、北京大學等。
