Cha was most famous for his wuxia, or martial arts and chivalry, novels. Over 300 million copies of his works have been sold in the Chinese-speaking world.

In 1955, Cha published his first wuxia novel The Book and the Sword in the then New Evening Post under his pen name Jin Yong.

He wrote 15 popular wuxia novels, his last, The Deer and the Cauldron, in 1972.

His novels have been adapted in films, TV and radio series, and deeply influenced the cultural development of Chinese-speaking communities around the world.

Cha also founded Hong Kong's major Chinese-language newspaper Ming Pao in 1959, and served as its editor-in-chief until retiring in 1989.

He has been honored by top universities in China and around the world.

Cha also served on the Basic Law Drafting Committee before Hong Kong's return to China in 1997.

Born in Haining, Zhejiang province, Cha graduated from the Law School of Soochow University in 1948.

To help support himself during his studies, he began to work as a journalist and translator for Ta Kung Pao newspaper in Shanghai.

In 1948, he came to Hong Kong to work for the same paper's Hong Kong office.

Tributes poured in after the literary giant's passing.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, on behalf of the Hong Kong government, expressed deep condolences to his family.

Lam said Cha made some of the greatest contributions to Chinese culture and Hong Kong's media development.

Hong Kong science fiction novelist Ni Kuang called Cha's novels "the best in the world and of all time" and said Cha's legacy would live on forever.

Hong Kong Screenwriters' Guild President John Chong Ching said Cha was "China's Shakespeare" and the "grandmaster" of Chinese screenwriters.

Chinese actors and actresses known for playing leading roles in TV series adapted from Cha's novels posted online tributes to the late novelist on Tuesday night.
