The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (Chinese: 笑傲江湖; Pinyin: xiào ào jiāng hú) is a 1967 Chinese novel written by Jin Yong. The term "笑傲江湖" means to live a carefree life in a mundane world of strife. An alternative English name is State of Divinity, although the book is known by both translations in English. The book has been adapted to film, in the form of The Swordsman (starring Sam Hui) and Swordsman II (starring Jet Li) (whose Chinese titles both refer to the title of the novel).
