Both deals with the theme of love do not last forever. Even if you love each other that alone is not enough to sustain the relationship. Both have a similar ending as well.

Watch if you love Zhou Dong Yu.
Both are Highly Rated Movies in my opinion.
They truly depict the harsh real life situations normal people face.
Both are Sad Tearjerkers.

The moments that bring happy and sad feelings to you are not entirely separate and both are precious. You can lose something but still have that very thing with you your whole life. Timing matters. Both these movies drive this message home very well. Whether you experienced lost love or not, you can empathize with the characters.

it's a realistic story of a couple who juggles between their love life also their career, trying to survive life as a beijing drifter

Both stories aren't innocent and sweet, but realistic. It's about staying together for a long time as couples and whether or not it's a love that can last.

Ambos com uma história de amor triste.
Mas com uma mensagem de vida magnífica e com um sentimento eterno gerado no seu coração.

Both show a relationship that blossoms from friendship and what happens to that relationship when tough times hit. The leads in both have great chemistry and you see characters in most struggle to “make it” in the workplace. The family drama in Us and Them is more poignant

Cute young couple love grow, Met, fell in love, living together, but poverty put their romance in hell. Separate, walked their own path. Beautiful yet reality

It's the same about the story of young love that ends in the middle of the road and reunited when one of them has achieved their dream, while the other is still wandering.

Strangers meeting and changing the lives of each other. This is the most similar thing in Breaking Ice compared to Us and Them. And you cannot forget the snow. Oh the snow, and the melancholia that comes with it. In Us and Them you can get a more detailed picture of what is happening in the lives of the characters and more depth and emotion. Missed opportunities and regrets but choosing to go on and live through all of it.
