listed by when made
Zhuangzhi Tests His Wife (lost Hong Kong drama film; 1913)
Zhuangzhi Tests His Wife (Chuang Tzu in then used Wades-Giles Romanization) 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".
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. [1]
-Plot-
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.
Stealing a Roast Duck (lost Hong Kong silent film; existence unconfirmed; 1909)
Stealing a Roast Duck is often considered the first film in Hong Kong history with Lai Pak-hoi and Liang Shao-Bo as the main characters with the former being a street hawker and the latter being the thief.
Its existence and creation date are in dispute, with some believing it was created after 1914 and some believing it never existed in the first place. If it did exist, it was most likely melted down to make bombs for the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II and since became lost.[2]
The only known existence of someone claiming to see the film was in 1917 in San Francisco.
Xiangyin Publishing House and Ching Wen Publishing House (partially found Taiwanese bootlegs of manga series; 1984-1993)
Xiangyin Publishing House, also going by Biaozhi Bookstore and Typhoon Enterprise, was a Taiwanese publishing company that published manga series from both Fujiko F. Fujio and Fujiko Fujio A. when they were still uncopyrighted in Taiwan from 1984-1992. While also publishing manga directly created from the Fujiko Fujio duo, they also published several original pieces as well as others copied from other manga franchises. [3]
Ching Wen Publishing House is a Taiwanese publishing company that publishes multiple manga series with direct authorization by their original owner. However, they originally published Doraemon without any permisssion from the original holders from 1976-1993. While originally merely copying the original manga, it began to slowly publish its own stories nearly being solely comprised of original content until its cessation of publication in 1993.[4]
-Avaliablity- While Ching Wen's old version occasionally pops up time and again for resale on various online shop websites from Taiwan and Hong Kong (though many volumes have never been resold or ripped online), Xiangyin's version has seen very few (if any) instances of such, with contents of many volumes being lost to the wider public with the likelihood of knowledge of them being buried by the official translations they received decades later.
-list of volumes- later
The Battle of Hong Kong (lost Japanese World War II propaganda film; 1942)
The Battle of Hong Kong, also known by its full name "The Battle of Hong Kong; The Day Britain Fell", is a Japanese propaganda film produced by Dai Nippon Film Company (which later became Daiei Film) in 1942, it is the only film produced during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. [5]
The film was produced in a series of films about the Japanese invasions of Southeast Asia and the Northern Pacific similar to films like "The Battle of Hawaii and Malaya" as National Policy films and was used to spread anti-British sentiment in Hong Kong.[6]
-Avaliablity-
Presumably, the original film positives were either lost during the war due to most films in Hong Kong being melted down for parts for the Japanese military use or being destroyed during the bombing of Japan.
Currently, only a 36 minute screenplay out of the original 102 minute runtime is kept by the Japanese National Film Archive.[7]
The film's script was also sold at least once online by a Japanese book store specializing in old books.[8]
