Comrades: Almost a Love Story (Chinese: 甜蜜蜜; lit. 'very sweet') is a 1996 Hong Kong romantic drama film directed and produced by Peter Chan, and starring Leon Lai and Maggie Cheung. The Chinese title refers to "Tian Mi Mi", a song by Teresa Teng whose songs are featured in the film. It was filmed on location in Hong Kong and New York City. Lai later commented in 1997 that the story of Li Xiao Jun is somewhat a description of his own life.
Comrades: Almost a Love Story won the Best Feature Film and Best Actress awards at the 34th Golden Horse Awards, as well as nine awards including Best Film and Best Director at the 16th Hong Kong Film Awards. In 2005, the film was voted one of the "Best 100 Chinese Motion Pictures" by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association.
