Li Shoumin (Chinese: 李壽民; Wade–Giles: Li Shou-min; 1902–1961), better known by his pen name Huanzhulouzhu (Chinese: 還珠樓主; Wade–Giles: Huan-chu-lou-chu; lit. 'Owner of Building of Returning the Pearl'), was a Chinese wuxia and xianxia writer.[1]
His 1946 novel Blades from the Willows (柳湖俠隱), a prequel of his magnum opus Legend of the Swordsmen of the Mountains of Shu, was one of the first wuxia novels translated into English. Other wuxia writers whose novels were also among the first translated into English include Wang Dulu, Gong Baiyu, Zheng Zhengyin, and Zhu Zhenmu.[2]
