I meant to check my bookshelf last night but forget. We went to a meet and greet with Nastia Liukin so I spaced it.
It wouldn't surprise me if there is a television series. Almost all the big wuxia novels are made into television series. I'm told there's a good one playing right now on channel 26 of Outlaws of the Marsh (again, meant to check that out last night but forget).
I've always had a hard time wrapping my head around the impact of Jin Yong. Meir Shahar told me he once went to a symposium just on Jin Yong where they had this huge banquet based on Jin Yong stories. He was really impressed with this giant slab of ham that was poked with finger holes as tribute to some iron finger character, and the holes were filled with tofu, which was plucked out and served, then the ham was discarded.
