If I Were for Real (Chinese: 假如我是真的) is a 1981 Taiwanese drama film directed by Wang Toon.[1] It is an adaptation of the 1979 play of the same name by Sha Yexin, Li Shoucheng and Yao Mingde, set in mainland China. The film made some changes to the story to turn "the satirical comedy into political propaganda which condemns Chinese communism".[2] The film was banned not only in mainland China (like the play), but also in British Hong Kong until 1989.[3]

Differences from the play


As a propaganda film that condemns communism, the film "in a total disregard of the inherent ambiguities in the play" made a number of "changes which drastically alter the meaning", according to Gilbert C. F. Fong.[2]


Theme song


Teresa Teng sang the theme song, which was included in her 1981 album of the same name. (In the film, Farm Director Zheng secretly listens to Teresa Teng's "When Will You Return?" and hides a picture of her on the back of a Chairman Mao portrait.)


Awards and nominations


1981 18th Golden Horse Awards[5]

The film was also selected as the Taiwanese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 54th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[6]
