"Laborer's Love" (zh-cp|c=劳工之爱情|p=Laogong zhi aiqing) is a 1922 short film produced in China. It is also known as "Romance of a Fruit Peddler" (zh-cp|c=掷果缘|p=Zhi guo yuan). It constitutes the earliest complete film from China's early cinematic history that survives today.

Notably, the film had both Chinese and English intertitles; a clear indication that at this early point in its history, cinema in Shanghai was made not only for the Chinese, but for the many Westerners residing there as well.
