Huang Yi



Huang Zuciang is a Chinese writer of wuxia novels. He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and once worked as the Assistant Chairperson of Hong Kong Museum of Art.

In the 1990s, 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'' to ''A Step Into The Past'' and to the now popular '''' , Huang Yi has combined science fiction with traditional Chinese culture to create a new style of work. Currently, his popularity has resulted in some people describing this phenomenon as ''flurry of Huang'' sweeping through China.

Upon conclusion of his longest novel, ''Da Tang Shuang Long Zhuan'' , Huang Yi has commented that he would like to follow in the footstep of Jinyong and to revise and improve his released novels.
