The Stormy Night is a 1925 Chinese drama film directed and written by novelist Zhu Shouju.
The film was long believed lost, until a print resurfaced in Tokyo, Japan in 2006, which was finally identified in 2011.
In 2006, descendants of Japanese director Teinosuke Kinugasa donated his collection to the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
Many years later, Akinari Sato (佐藤秋成) convincingly confirmed it as The Stormy Night by matching it with reports from old Shanghai newspapers Shen Bao and Xinwen Bao (新聞報).
