Both are love stories in Hong Kong. "A fish Story" is set in the 60' and "Camrades: Almost a love story" is set in the 80' and 90'.
In both, the main leads struggle to make a living in Hong Kong. They meet by chance and fall in love.

Both are well made romance movies. They are my favorites even now. Haven't seen a movie better than these 2 for me so far.

Two sweet and stubborn young adults from countryside fight tooth and nail to get a foothold in the much desired capital, and become each other's home and source of warmth in the process. Emotions and the harsh reality of life complicates things and it's noone's fault, really.

Comrades is the more unhinged, tropey, fairytale like and happy version with imperfect main leads that you will have to learn how to fully fall in love with as the story progresses, while Us and Them is the more dire, more practical and raw version with leads who will make your heart hurt for them from beginning to the end and then some more.

Both productions show life and love of immigrants in either mainland China (Beautiful Life) or Hong Kong (Comrades). First half of A Beautiful Life is quite similar to Comrades: Almost a Love Story as it features not-quite-romance between a naive and warm-hearted male lead and business savvy female leads.

It has similar struggle of reality over romance. Overall its really great movie with sweet ending. Plot:Guy moves to find a job, girl helps and they get closer , but have to drift apart because of their different ambition and expectations from life. Get to meet again.a must watch i was told, and i loved it.
