Comrades:Almost a Love Story

Like the title implies the movie is almost a love story based on the lives of  Li Xiao-Jun and Li-Qiao they both move to Hong Kong from the mainland to make it big, without much resources or friends they end up spending a lot of time together and even though they do not realize it until much later they fall in love. Li Xiao wishes to make enough money to bring his girlfriend to the city and marry her and Li-Qiao wishes to becomes rich, the dream which she is already pursuing since she works non-stop and invests in the stock market. They both have a dream which they cannot achieve if they stay together, they are both aware of that and he ends up marrying his sweetheart after becoming a chef in the city and she marries a mob boss and with his help and money becomes an entrepreneur. By this time they have achieved both of their dreams but when together they cannot help but still have feelings for each other and eventually Li Xiao divorces his wife after he confesses cheating and realizes that he is still in love with Li-Qiao. Li-Qiao's husband is on the run and they runaway to NYC where he eventually gets killed after they have both decided to start a family. After almost getting deported Li-Qiao decides to stay in the city. Li Xiao migrated around the same time after his divorce and ends up living in NYC as well doing delivery, just as he started when he first moved to Hong Kong. Fast forward ten years and they are both single and run into each other, they movie ends there but is implied that they end up together since it goes back to the beginning of the movie where we learn that they both moved to the city at the same time and even took the same train, falling asleep back to back. 
The themes of the movies are resilience, dreams, love and friendship. With all of the adversity the main characters are faced with they manage to stay positive and focus on their goals which they eventually achieve it even though they are not completely happy with it. Their friendship also led them to a love story that lasted through the years.
I enjoyed watching this movie a lot, even though at the beginning of the movie they do not admit to their love I was hoping they would end up together. I was also taken by the way they had to start all over two times in two different cities and they were willing to in order to keep fighting for their dreams.
