He is well known in Indonesia for his martial art fiction set in the background of China or Java. During his 30 years career, at least 120 stories has been published.
Despite the fact that most of his stories were based on Chinese martial art genre, Kho Ping Hoo never actually learned Chinese. He had his inspirations from Hong Kong and Taiwan kung fu films. He made a significant contributions to Indonesian colloquial literature. The novels also introduce many Chinese terms in Hokkien dialects to Indonesian terms.
Because of his illiteracy in Chinese languages, his writings contain various errors regarding historical and geographical reality of China. However, the inaccuracies does not affect the popularity of Kho Ping Hoo. The novels themselves never reached China or the wider Chinese speaking population.
On 14th of December one of his most famous stories "bukek siansu" - the golden flute - finally arrived in China introduced by Ambassador Imron Cotan, Indonesian Ambassador to the People's Republic of China.
