Jin Yong’s The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (1967) and Gu Long’s The Legend Of Lu Xiaofeng (1979) are on loan from former Shin Min Daily News editor Toh Lam Huat, a friend of both writers. The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was written during Jin Yong’s time in Singapore, and serialised in Shin Min Daily News.

These manuscripts are at the heart of From Ink To Blades: A Century Of Wuxia Legends, part of the annual City Reading@SG festival organised by SPH Media’s Chinese Media Group (CMG). The exhibition at The Arts House is on from May 1 to 7.
