About Dear You:
Dear You follows Ye Shurou, a grandmother from Chaoshan who lives a simple life while holding onto a lifelong yearning across the ocean. Years ago, her husband, Zheng Musheng, traveled to Southeast Asia to make a living. Over time, countless Qiaopi letters and remittance documents crossed the ocean, carrying his deep longing. Years later, her grandson Xiaowei travels to Thailand in search of Zheng Musheng, only to learn that his grandfather had passed away in 1960. The person who continued sending letters and money under Zheng's name for the next two decades was, in fact, a stranger named Xie Nanzhi. Entrusted by Zheng on his deathbed, she helped sustain two families separated by mountains and seas.
More than 90% of the plot is adapted from true stories of overseas Chinese. The film helps audiences understand that those yellowed letters and faded postmarks recorded far more than money and daily trivialities. They carried the enduring devotion of generations of overseas Chinese who remained deeply connected to their homeland, reflecting a simple yet profound sense of loyalty and love rooted in the Chinese spirit.
