Your Name Engraved Herein is a 2020 Taiwanese romantic drama film directed by Patrick Kuang-Hui Liu and starring Edward Chen, Jing-Hua Tseng, and Leon Dai.

Production

The film opens with a line from Song of Solomon 8:7 "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it", foreshadowing the tension between the protagonist's Catholic faith and his love for a fellow male student.

An homage to noted Taiwanese gay rights activist Chi Chia-wei appears in the film. While in Taipei, Birdy and A-Han see a protester on an overhead bridge, holding a sign that declares, "Homosexuality is not a disease!" Police violently detain the protester, while A-Han restrains an outraged Birdy and prevents him from intervening. The outfit, sign and protest location reflect Chi's real-life demonstrations.

The theme song "Your Name Engraved Herein", performed by singer Crowd Lu and lead actor Edward Chen, was composed by Malaysian songwriters Keon Chia (Chia Wang) and Dr. Hooi Yuan Teng (Hsu Yuan-Ting), and Singaporean lawyer Tan Boon Wah (Chen Wen-Hua). The piece won Best Original Film Song at Taiwan's Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards, the Oscars of the Chinese-speaking world.

This film's scene was based in Viator Catholic High School, Taichung.

The film is based on the director's true story, but in reality they never met again - as in the movie.
