Chinese wuxia novels are great. Vietnamese people call it "tiểu thuyết kiếm hiệp" here, the author 金庸 (Jin Young - Kim Dung) is someone everyone in Vietnam knows. They have to be among the most popular items people searched for when the Internet was slow and people went online to just read text. We use a lot of Chinese phrases ingrained in us from Chinese novels, for example, I still remember vividly the word "ngụy quân tử" - 偽君子 - hypocrite, dishonest man - that is used in Chinese novels - that the journalist I talked about used to describe himself: "You might think I am a 'ngụy quân tử' when I said this to you, but I really really want you to continue. I didn't send the previous email to stop you. Don't stop." We have a site called Việt Nam Thư Quán that has mainly Chinese wuxia novels. It is among the oldest sites in Vietnamese that is still operational today. It still has my Harry Potter translation version somewhere, I think. I wish I could read more Chinese novels for my own enrichment. Learning Chinese is my pipe dream that I will do... one day.
