Ordinary Heroes is a 1999 Hong Kong drama film directed and produced by Ann Hui.
Based on real-life prototypes, the film focused on social activists in the 1970s and 1980s who fought defiantly against the British Colonial government for the rights of the Yau Ma Tei boat people and their mainland wives.
Mostly leftists and Communist sympathisers, their despair after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre is also highlighted.
The Chinese title refers to a popular Teresa Teng song which played during the film.
It was chosen as Hong Kong's official Best Foreign Language Film submission at the 72nd Academy Awards, but did not manage to receive a nomination.
