"If you don't attend, everyone will leave, so what's the point of going." In a previous interview, Ni Kuang categorically stated that he would not attend Jin Yong's funeral. However, this time he broke his promise. Accompanied by his wife and old friend Cai Lan, he came anyway.

Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Huang Zhan, and Cai Lam were also known as the "Four Great Talents of Hong Kong". Today, only Ni Kuang and Cai Lam remain among the "Four Great Talents".

This afternoon, Jin Yong's private funeral will be held. Previously, Ni Kuang said in an interview that he would not attend the funeral. "I am already over 80 years old, and I am almost done." He said: "Everyone is gone, so what's the point of going? I never go to funerals."

Ni Kuang never attended funerals because Jin Yong made an exception, because Jin Yong was not an ordinary friend. He commented that Jin Yong is "a first-rate friend and a first-rate boss."

When Jin Yong was alive, he always took the initiative to invite Ni Kuang and Cai Lam to parties. After Jin Yong's death, a Red Star News reporter interviewed the famous writer Ni Kuang (pen name Wesley ).

In the past, they always talked endlessly when talking about their old friends, and shared interesting stories about their recent interactions with Jin Yong with reporters. Although he was still very cool on the surface this time, the Red Star News reporter asked him to talk about Jin Yong again, but he did not want to say more. He said that there is no sadness when he died in his nineties. People will have this day when their oil is exhausted, but The death of his old friend still made him unable to hide his sadness.

A few years ago, a reporter from Chengdu Commercial Daily asked Ni Kuang who his deceased friend he missed the most was. Ni Kuang’s answer was "Huang Zhan and Gu Long." Many years after Gu Long passed away, Ni Kuang mentioned that he would still feel sad. "Now, there is one more old friend I miss, Jin Yong."
