Comrades: Almost a Love Story
"Comrade Li Xiaojun, my purpose of coming to Hong Kong is not for you, and your purpose here is not for me either." Li Xiaojun from Tianjin and Li Qiao from Guangzhou meet by chance in Hong Kong in the 1980s – the most prosperous era of the city. With the modern cityscape and Teresa Teng’s songs as the backdrop, they start a love story spanning years and across cities, and meet and part at the turning points of the times. Li Xiaojun, a country boy who is excited about everything in the Hong Kong city, hopes to earn money to marry his girlfriend back home; Li Qiao, an ambitious girl working several jobs and learning English to get rich, is an opportunist who is quick-witted than Hongkongers. Hong Kong is neither a final stop nor destination, but a transition for them – just like their short-lived, casual love affair. Times change and stars fade. How much can the two leave in each other's lives? Lively yet restrained, Maggie Cheung's presentation of Li Qiao, a combination of her roles of Holli-yuk (All's Well, Ends Well) and Su Li-shen (In the Mood for Love), is one of her breakthrough performances. Mostly shot in Yau Tsim Mong District and along Nathan Road, the film preserves the once-bustling scenes of Hong Kong. Together with the drifting and undecided collective state of mind captured in the story, it is a unique record of the times.

Lovers In The Wave
A young couple comes from the shore, kissing and embracing on the sand, walking into an empty city where they meet, love, hate and separate. They wander about the oppressive huge building space and finally go back to nature. With its images and sounds tango along and a piano track alternated between fragmented and lingering, the film takes the audience to meander through the different emotional tones and frequencies of an intimate relationship.
Director: Wong Cheuk-man
2020 | B&W | No Language | 12mins
