Since the 1950s, Dr Louis CHA had published fifteen martial arts novels under the pen name Jin Yong. His novels become popular classics around the world, and were adapted into timeless TV and movie works many times. The success of Jin Yong's novels is attributed not only to the striking twists and turns of the plots, but also to the creation of unique characters. On the centenary of the birth of Jin Yong in 2024, Hongkong Post presents a set of special stamps themed on "Characters in Jin Yong's Novels II: A Path to Glory" to pay tribute to his outstanding achievements. This set of special stamps is a sequel to "Characters in Jin Yong's Novels" special stamps issued in 2018, showcasing some of the important characters of his novels in fresh images based on the sculptures of REN Zhe, a famous sculptor.

A set of six stamps and two $10 stamp sheetlets feature eight well-known characters from Jin Yong's novels, including Guo Jing ($2.20 stamp), Ouyang Feng ($4 stamp) and Huang Rong ($5.50 stamp) from The Eagle-shooting Heroes, Linghu Chong ($2.80 stamp) and Ren Woxing ($3.70 stamp) from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Qiao Feng ($5.40 stamp) from The Demi-Gods and the Semi-Devils, as well as Yang Guo ($10 stamp sheetlet) and Xiaolongnü ($10 stamp sheetlet) from The Giant Eagle and its Companion. To commemorate the centenary of the birth of Jin Yong (Dr Louis CHA), the $20 stamp sheetlet features the portrait and sculpture of Dr CHA. The stamp sheetlet is specially printed with 3D embossing and gold hot foil stamping, adding sophistication to the overall presentation.

Information about this set of special stamps and associated philatelic products is available on the Hongkong Post Stamps website (stamps.hongkongpost.hk) and in the ShopThruPost mobile app.
