In the martial arts novel The Condor Hero by the late writer Kim Dung, Doan Tri Hung is a quite important character.
He also continued to appear in the next novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
After he shaved his head and got rid of his worries, he took the dharma name of Nhat Dang Great Master.
Before the story of The Condor Hero begins, the world is fiercely fighting over the martial arts secret of the Nine Yin Classics.
The best martial arts experts decided to gather on the top of Hoa Son to determine who is the strongest.
At the end of the first Hoa Son Luan Kiem, Doan Tri Hung became one of the Five Ba Martial Arts (5 strongest people in martial arts), titled Nam De of famous martial arts (the other 4 were: Vuong Trung Duong
His most famous technique is Nhat Duong Chi – The highest type of magic in the Kim Dung story, the user of Nhat Duong Chi puts internal force into the index finger and then shoots the force. Although the attack range is small, the damage is immense.
Later, Doan Tri Hung was also taught the Immortal Technique by Vuong Trung Duong, increasing his strength by one level.
Doan Tri Hung’s life is both tragic and painful, but these mistakes were made by himself.
Just because of his passion for martial arts, during that time Vuong Trung Duong led his younger brother Chu Ba Thong to exchange martial arts and impart the Immortal Cong. Chu Ba Thong had an affair with Anh Co, a very favored concubine of the Doan.
Because of this, Doan Tri Hung was extremely angry.
This tragedy made Doan Tri Hung extremely tormented, and was also the reason he decided to abdicate and become a monk.
Later, Doan Tri Hung used Nhat Duong to try to save Hoang Dung’s life. He was seriously injured, but thanks to the formula in the Nine Yin Chan Sutra, his power was not lost.
His strength was most clearly demonstrated when he subdued Cuu Thien Nhan (also a master at that time), making him voluntarily take refuge, taking the name Tu An.
In the Condor Heroes, Doan Tri Hung appeared again and helped Tieu Long Nu who was seriously ill and then went with his junior brother to Tuyet Tinh Coc to find an antidote to the Hoa Tinh poison.
At the end of the story, he, Chu Ba Thong and Anh Co resolved their previous resentments and participated in the battle to protect Tuong Duong citadel.
At the Hoa Son debate for the third time, Great Master Nhat Dang continued to be elected to the five great people under the title Nam Sangha.
Doan Tri Hung is a real figure in history, but there are not many records about him.
During his reign, he changed his reign names five times: Loi Trinh (1172-1175), Thinh Duc (1176-1180), Gia Hoi (1181-1184), Nguyen Hanh (1185-1197), An Dinh (1185-1197).
Like many other kings of Dali, Duan Zhixing worshiped Buddhism.
In 1200, he abdicated and gave the throne to his son Doan Tri Liem.
