When TVB adapted LOCH in 1982, it divided the narrative into three parts. The first part covered the events from Yau Chui Gei's visit at the Gwok/Yeung families' home in Ox Village to the suicide deaths of Yeung Teet Sum and Pau Sik Yerk. The second part covered the events from Gwok Jing and Wong Yung's first encounter with North Beggar Hung 7 Gung through Gwok Jing's recovery from the Ha Mo Gung/dagger injuries he had sustained at the hands of West Poison Au Yeung Fung and Yeung Hong. The third part covered the events from Yeung Hong's unsuccessful attempt to take over the Chief position of the Beggar's Union through the death of Genghis Khan.
The novel, of course, used no such divisions (nor did any subsequent adaptations of LOCH). Did breaking apart the series at those particular points make any narrative sense?
