A Hero Born, the first volume of famous Chinese martial arts novelist Jin Yong’s Legends of the Condor Heroes, was on Thursday published in English for the first time.
British publishing house MacLehose bought the rights to the book five years ago and commissioned Anna Holmwood, a professional focused on Chinese-English literary translation, to the translate work. After years of hard work, the 400-page translation, priced at 14.99 pounds ($20.8), finally hit bookstores. “I feel very excited and a little nervous also, of course. It is a big moment for me personally,” Holmwood told Xinhua from her home in Sweden. “If you are a fan of Lord Of The Rings and are looking for the next best thing, A Hero Born is definitely the book for you,” Waterstone, one of Britain’s biggest chain bookstores, said on its website.
Jin Yong(1924-2018) is the pen name of Louis Cha. He is one of the best-selling Chinese authors with over 300 million copies of his works sold in the Chinese-speaking world. Despite their popularity, only few of Jin Yong’s martial arts novels have been translated into English. The Legends of the Condor Heroes, one of his most well-known works, covers the Song Dynasty and features hundreds of characters, telling a story full of gravity-defying kung fu, treachery, loyalty and love.
Holmwood, who has also translated works by other contemporary Chinese authors, said she became very involved in the details and admired Jin Yong’s brilliant writing. As a fan of Chinese classical poetry and literature, she recommended Jin Yong’s novels to a book agent in 2012. “It was mainly because of the quality of the writing and also because of his status in Chinese culture. The publisher in Britain was very excited to see there was such a big beloved author who still hadn’t been translated into English, at least not by a trade publisher,” she recalled.
“Of course it does make me nervous that the translation will be read against the original in a way that most translations don’t. So I have taken on the task with a humble heart,” she said.
The Times called the book she translated “hugely entertaining” and selected it as Book of the Month.

In the online world, it’s very difficult to talk to Chinese people without using emojis. However, did you know that people in different age groups have totally different preferences for choosing their emojis? The result is based on a report released by Tencent’s WeChat, China’s most popular messaging app, on its official weibo account on Wednesday.
Specifically, for users who were born in the 2000s, their favorite WeChat emoji would probably be the widely used “facepalm”, rumored to be based on the famous Hong Kong movie star Stephen Chow. They also may be a night owl without much sleep, while iced beverages and desserts are their cup of tea.
For China’s post-90s WeChat users, they are likely to get out of bed later in the morning compared with other groups, and the emoji “face with tears of joy” may rule their online social life. Also, their reading materials have shifted from entertainment and gossip three years ago to the current relationship and lifestyle pieces.
For those born in the 1980s, their tastes have remained the same, as they are still fond of reading news on national affairs. And “smiling widely” is their emoji of the year.
WeChat users born in the 1970s are called the optimistic group, who like to use the emoji “laughing quietly” and go through their moments frequently every day. Their bed time unusually takes place around 11:30 pm.
Users over 55 are the early-bird group with rich entertainment activities in WeChat platforms, such as looking through moments, reading and shopping. They like to cheer up other age groups, so their favorite emoji is “giving a thumbs-up”.
The report also indicates that WeChat boasts more than 1.08 billion active users with 45 billion messages being sent and 410 million calls getting through the app each day in 2018. In addition to covering users’ socializing, WeChat has gradually come into our daily lives. Compared to the year before, people used WeChat 4.7 times more to purchase public transport tickets, and 2.9 times more to pay for medical expenses. Also, the app was used 1.5 times more over the previous year to pay for meals, with Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen ranked as the top three cities in dining purchases through WeChat.
28. Which of the following emojis do users born in the 1980s prefer to use according to the passage?
A. B. C. D.
29. What can we know about the WeChat users born in the 1970s?
A. They are likely to get out of bed late in the morning.
B. They like to give a thumb up to cheer up other age groups.
C. They prefer to read materials about entertainment and gossip.
D. They are called the optimistic group and usually go to bed at about 11:30 pm.
30. How is the last paragraph organized?
A. By following time order B. By inferring
C. By listing numbers D. By analyzing cause and effect
