Wen Ruian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wen Ruian (Chinese: 溫瑞安) is a Chinese writer of wuxia novels. He was born in a Cantonese family in Malaysia in 1954 and once studied in National Taiwan University.

Ever since he wrote the famous “The Four Detective Guards” at the age of nineteen, Wen Ruian has been wandering around society and even went to jail. As a result of his strong work ethic, he has about four hundred books, totaling 40 million characters.

Wen Ruian’s later works were extremely violent. However, his early works such as the “Divine Astonishing Hero” series gave readers a patriotic and uplifting enthusiasm.
