Original title: 莊子試妻

## Synopsis

Zhuangzi Tests His Wife is a 1913 Hong Kong drama film directed by Li Minwei. It is the earliest feature film of Hong Kong cinema, and the only film made by the Huamei (Chinese-American) Studio, which was co-founded by Benjamin Brodsky, who had sold his Asia Film Company in Shanghai, and Li Minwei. The film was never screened in Hong Kong. Brodsky brought the film to the United States, and it became the first Hong Kong-produced fiction film to be shown in the United States. It is based on the zidishu play "The Butterfly Dream" written by Chunshuzhai. No known prints of the film still exist.
