Comrades: Almost a Love Story (Chinese: 甜蜜蜜; lit. 'very sweet') is a 1996 Hong Kong film starring Leon Lai, Maggie Cheung, Eric Tsang, and Kristy Yang. It was directed by Peter Chan. 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. Leon Lai later commented in 1997 that the story of Li Xiao Jun is somewhat a description of his own life.
