Letting secondary characters appear first is a feature of Jin Yong's novels, with the aim of introducing important plots and main characters. In the first chapter of "The Sword of廉Qing", Jin Yong first tells the story of Zhang Chao Tang, a Chinese person living in the Borneo Kingdom of Southeast Asia. Zhang Chao Tang's ancestors had settled in Southeast Asia long ago, and after many years of hard work, the Zhang family had become prosperous and successful in the local area.
