金大侠，您一路走好。
10月30日，著名的武侠小说作家金庸先生去世，享年94岁。
金庸的小说是20世纪中国文学史上无可比肩的畅销书，征服了无数读者。他的武侠小说之所以流行，主要原因是它对传统武侠小说的升华和超越。
金庸在8岁时开始接触武侠小说，从1955年，创作自己的第一部武侠小说《书剑恩仇录》，到1972年完成了最后一部小说《鹿鼎记》，共创作了15部武侠小说。（a total of 15 popular wuxia novels.）
连起来就是那对著名的对联：飞雪连天射白鹿，笑书神侠倚碧鸳。金庸也被誉为20世纪最具影响力的武侠小说作家（the most influential Chinese martial arts novelist of the 20th century。）
金庸去世后，美国《纽约客》杂志在其官方推特上悼念金庸，并转发了该杂志在4月份刊发的一篇关于金庸的文章。
这篇文章介绍称，金庸在中国的文化价值，大约相当于《哈利·波特》加《星球大战》在西方的地位。(has a cultural currency roughly equal to that of “Harry Potter” and “Star Wars” combined。)
金庸的侠义精神不仅仅是中国的（not just a hit among Chinese readers），还是世界的。今年早些时候，金庸的小说《射雕英雄传》的英文版本正式发行，收获了一众外国粉丝。
在金庸去世后，因《三傻大闹宝莱坞》、《摔跤吧爸爸》等电影走红中国的印度演员阿米尔·汗（Aamir Khan）在微博上发消息称：“听到金庸先生去世的悲伤消息，我感到非常难过。他的小说《鹿鼎记》带给我很多快乐...我是他的忠实粉丝。”
今天下午，金庸生前好友、阿里巴巴董事局主席马云也通过官方微博发文悼念金庸：“若无先生，不知是否还会有阿里。”
马云将金庸小说的招式用到企业文化，他要求每个员工都选择一个金庸笔下的人物来代表自己的人格（each of his employees to choose one of Cha’s characters as an avatar reflecting his or her personality）。
👆马云在阿里的花名是“风清扬”
另外，马云也要求他们遵守“六脉神剑”，也就是一个武侠风的公司信条（wuxia-styled company credo），客户第一、团队合作、拥抱变化，等等。

In a glittering career he sold more than 300 million books worldwide making him one of China's best read authors.
South China Morning Post:
Tributes have been pouring in for Hong Kong martial arts novelist Louis Cha Leung-yung, the world’s most popular Chinese writer, who died on Tuesday after a long illness. He was 94.
His son-in-law, Dr Ng Wai-cheong, said the literary giant was surrounded by family members when he died in the afternoon, while the Chinese-language Ming Pao newspaper, founded by Cha, confirmed he breathed his last at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital.
Cha was a respected journalist, community leader, and, above all, a celebrated author whose novels in the wuxia genre – featuring chivalrous tales of kung fu masters in ancient China – made him a household name both at home and among the global Chinese diaspora.
