The King of Comedy Visits Shanghai (simplified Chinese: 滑稽大王游沪记; traditional Chinese: 滑稽大王遊滬記; pinyin: Huájī dàwáng yóu hù jì), also known as The King of Comedy Visits China, is a 1922 slapstick comedy directed by Zhang Shichuan for the Mingxing Film Company. Depicting a fictional visit by Charlie Chaplin to Shanghai, the film starred Richard Bell in the titular role and drew from Chaplin's popularity in the Republic of China. Released as a double feature with Labourer's Love, the film screened for four days at the Olympic Theatre but did not find broader distribution. It is thought lost.
