Third edition changes
Jin Yong published the third edition of Mnemonic of the Linked Cities in 2005. Here are the changes.
The biggest change is that now we are certain that this novel takes place in the Qing dynasty. Wu Liuqi of the Duke of Mount Deer is mentioned. I am not going to reveal in what context as it would spoil the biggest change.
Again some dialogues are changed to make the story more fluent.
