金庸：中国的“莎士比亚”

莎士比亚笔下罗密欧和朱丽叶的爱情故事，满足了人们在懵懂时期对爱情最浪漫的憧憬，而金庸笔下新颖、曲折、壮烈的武侠故事，则不仅激发了人们内心深处的那份侠义豪情，更让我们对险恶江湖中秉承的纯真爱情羡煞不已。

金庸先生出版的小说数不胜数，《书剑恩仇录》《射雕英雄传》《雪山飞狐》《倚天屠龙记》《碧血剑》《绝代佳人》《神雕侠侣》《鹿鼎记》《笑傲江湖》《天龙八部》……无论是豆蔻年华，还是不惑之年，总有一部作品能让我们暂时告别喧嚣浮沉，置身未曾有机会涉足的世外桃源，身临其境血海江湖里的爱恨情仇，或苦涩、或醇美。

2018年10月30日，在为世人留下一片烟波浩渺的“江湖”之后，金庸先生在香港逝世，享年94岁。

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日出生在浙江嘉兴的海宁市。他是著名武侠小说作家、新闻学家、企业家、政治评论家、社会活动家，号称“香港四大才子”之一。1959年，金庸在香港创办《明报》。

大多数读者认为撰写武侠小说是金庸一生最大的成就。事实上，在《明报》创办初期，条件艰苦，经营惨淡。金庸不得不靠写小说来支撑《明报》的发展。多年后，金庸说：“当时写武侠小说，纯粹是为了赚钱和维持报纸的生存。”金庸的这一举动，却让他“误打誤撞”成为武侠小说的一代宗师。他的作品在华语圈的销量已经超过3亿册，且多次被改编成电影、电视剧和广播剧，深刻影响了全球华人社区的文化发展。

金庸先生被多所顶尖名校授予荣誉教授称号，比如英国剑桥大学、香港中文大学、清华大学、北京大学等。
