Zhuangzhi Tests His Wife (Chuang Tzu in Wades-Giles Romanization, 莊子試妻) is a 1913 silent Hong Kong drama film and was the only one made by Huamei Studio. It is an adaption of "The Butterfly Dream".


Perman is a manga series that ran from 1966-1986 and was authored by Fujiko Fujio (though new chapters were not published from 1968-1983 and Fujiko F. Fujio was the only author from 1983). It focuses on four (five, in this and the old manga) children who are one day chosen by Birdman (Superman in older versions) to be fighters of justice. The 1983 anime is the more well-known of the two adaptions, being more recent and much longer with it being dubbed into far more languages, while the first adaption is only known to be dubbed into Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
It is only known to have been shown to Chinese communities in the United States making it the first Chinese film known to be shown abroad. <ref>[https://www.cuhk.edu.hk/rct/pdf/e_outputs/b2930/v29&30P293.pdf]<ref>

-Plot-
After the series ceased airing and prior to 2014, virtually the entirety of the 1967 adaption was unavailable to view as it stopped airing before most home recording technology came to existence, with only very rare rebroadcasts of episodes and one of the versions Opening and Ending being available online.


In 2014, the majority of the series was re-released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of TMS Entertainment after being restored over the course of 2 years. This however, excluded most ending sequences which were lost by this time, four segments missing their audio in their entirety, two segments slightly damaged and two segments unreleased for an undisclosed reason leading to them both still being lost.
The main plot of the film is that Zhuangzi's wife has a new lover before her husband dies. But this lover was Zhuangzhi who faked his death to test his wife's fidelity.


In 2024, audio was found for "Perman's Counterattack" and subsequently added to the following Blu-ray release.
