Xi Chi is an author about whom limited public information is available. Two works can currently be confirmed: The Six-Eared Macaque and The Peerless Qilin. Judging from the common categories of these two works, Xi Chi's writing touches on both classical literature and wuxia fiction. The Six-Eared Macaque draws on the story of the true and false Monkey Kings in Journey to the West, showing a clear connection to classical texts, while The Peerless Qilin belongs to the wuxia genre, indicating the author's interest in traditional narrative and martial-arts themes. Since details of the author's life, nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name are not clearly recorded, a full account of the author's work and writing style remains difficult. The available clues suggest that Xi Chi draws on classical literary resources and the wuxia genre, and although the output is small, it spans two related fields, offering some reference value for readers interested in retellings of traditional stories and wuxia writing.
