The epitaph of Dugu Qiubai, the legendary unbeaten swordsman from Jin Yong's novels, is being shared widely. The inscription describes thirty years sweeping the martial world before retreating to a valley with only a condor for company, and his progression through four swords until reaching the state of winning without a blade. Readers are quoting and reflecting on the passage's meditation on solitude and mastery.

Why now: Fans of Jin Yong's wuxia fiction are resonating with the character's famous lament about loneliness at the peak of skill.
