This is influenced by Laviathan's comments in this topic, in which he proposed:
Jin Yong's novels are modernizations of traditional Chinese literature. It has many Western inlfuences, but the style itself is still Chinese. Gu Long, knowing that he would never be able to surpass Jin Yong in this style, changed his style into something completely different. Gu Long novels are in fact Western style novels, written in Chinese.
So: Jin Yong = Chinese novels with Western influence, while Gu Long = Western novels with Chinese themes
Which got me thinking. If we take the same idea and apply it to ourselves--our styles, our way of thinking, etc, what does that make us? And how did you arrive at the conclusion?
