Alright, I admit, I am a big fan of the Jin Yong novels. I have been a big fan since I watched my first Return of the Condor Heroes Hong Kong serial (yes, the Andy Lau one) in the 80s. Over the years, I have seen pretty much every Jin Yong production in Taiwan, China and even the Singapore version many times over. There is undoubtedly a Jin Yong character that resembles the personality of each of us individually. For me, this would be Huang Yao Shi, the eastern heretic. A loner by nature, he is unorthodox and has heretical views on traditions and social norms. A dedicated martial artist who devotes his time not only to martial arts but his love for music, culture and history. He has great passion for food as evident in his daughter Huang Rong's ability to win over Hong Qigong's favour with her cooking. He has deep feelings for his family and will do anything to protect them. He lives in luxury and needs his creature comforts wherever he goes. This is certainly the closest description to me that I know of!
Now intrigue me and tell me who best fits you within the realm of Jin Yong?
