1909年2月6日 延續二千多年的奴婢制度宣告終結 - 1909年2月6日，清廷頒佈詔諭，禁止蓄養買賣奴婢，歷經兩千餘年的奴婢制度終告結束。中國的奴婢制度自秦、漢承襲，歷代各朝帝、官宦人家、地主富豪，都佔有大量奴婢。清初，因發生大量奴婢逃亡事件，政府曾專門制訂《逃人律》，用以懲戒奴婢逃亡。康熙年間，有過所謂“贖身為民”、“放出為民”等變革，但實際上並未實行。此次廢奴詔諭規定，“凡從前旗下家奴”，“概聽贖身，放出為民”，“其經放出及無力贖身者，以雇工人論”。On February 6, 1909, the Qing government passed laws to ban slaves, thus abolishing the slavery system that existed in China for over 2,000 years.

Having co-founded the Hong Kong daily Ming Pao in 1959, he was the paper's first editor-in-chief.

His 15 works written between 1955 and 1972 earned him a reputation as one of the finest wuxia writers ever.

Cha's works have been translated into English, French, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Malay and Indonesian.
