- Huang Yi
Huang Zuciang (zh-c|c=黃易) (Penname Huang An/Huang Yi) is a Chinese writer of
wuxia novels. He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts of theChinese University of Hong Kong and once worked as the Assistant Chairperson ofHong Kong Museum of Art .In the
1990 s, after the golden age of wuxia literature, wuxia literature was increasingly under attack by the general public and was losing its previous aura. However, the emergence of Huang Yi infused new life into the wuxia genre.From "
Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion " (zh-c|c=覆雨翻云) to "A Step Into The Past " (zh-c|c=寻秦记) and to the now popular " [http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Twin_of_Brothers Twin of Brothers] " (zh-c|c=大唐双龙传), Huang Yi has combinedscience fiction with traditional Chinese culture (metaphysics, philosophy, etc) to create a new style of work. Currently, his popularity has resulted in some people describing this phenomenon as "flurry of Huang" sweeping throughChina .Upon conclusion of his longest novel, "Da Tang Shuang Long Zhuan" (Twins of Brothers), Huang Yi has commented that he would like to follow in the footstep of
Jinyong and to revise and improve his released novels.External links
