Hi yanfeng, I read Jin Yong's novels in Chinese. I have never heard of any translation of his books. I agree with you that it will be hard to translate them, since many of the stories are just too Chinese to be translated. I think he is the most talented Chinese writers in the history.

I know some people that will read his books like Bible. They will read at least few pages a day! Do you know that he wrote most of his book while he was busy building his newspaper empire?!!! He wrote most of the story late at night after he has finished most of his work as the newspaper editor!
Yes, frui, I agree with you totally.
Ok, sorry for chatting away from the main topics.
