Winner of Best Original Screenplay at the 20th Golden Horse Awards, the 1983 classic Hong Kong Hong Kong exposes the difficult lives of illegal immigrants and women on the margins as well as the feelings of insecurity and anxiety permeating Hong Kong society in the eighties. Directed by New Wave filmmaker Clifford Choi ( Teenage Dreamers ), the film stars Cherie Chung and Alex Man as immigrants whose love and livelihoods are cruelly tested as they desperately strive to survive in Hong Kong. After moving to Hong Kong from China, illegal immigrant Mang (Cherie Chung) has no choice but to live in cramped quarters with male migrant workers who take advantage of her. In order to attain the chance for Hong Kong residency and a better life, she agrees to marry a lonely old carpenter (Kwan Hoi San) who wants a child. Soon after settling into her new life, Mang crosses paths again with Kong (Alex Man), a Thai-Chinese boxer she once helped, and the two develop a passionate affair.
