When it came time for Jin Yong to characterize Hui Juk, it seemed that Jin Yong looked backwards to one of his earlier characters, Cheung Mo Gei, for inspiration. Consider these similarities between Hui Juk and Cheung Mo Gei.
1. Both became orphans when their parents committed suicide in disgrace in the presence of much of wulin.
2. Both gained huge amounts of inner power before learning any fighting techniques.
3. The martial arts they practiced made them extraordinarily resistant to injury.
4. Both became leaders of powerful, but secretive organizations that operated outside of and were often at odds with mainstream wulin.
5. Both became involved with women affiliated with foreign royalty or nobility.
6. Both had strong pacifistic leanings.
