Dear You

Dear You (simplified Chinese: 给阿嬷的情书; traditional Chinese: 給阿嬤的情書) is a 2026 Chinese family drama film directed and co-written by Lan Hongchun. It stars a largely non-professional cast featuring Li Sitong, Wang Yantong, Wu Shaoqing, Zheng Runqi and Wang Xiaohui, alongside Thai actress Usha Seamkhum. Spoken primarily in Teochew, a dialect from the Chaoshan region of eastern Guangdong, the film employs qiaopi (khiâu-phoi, remittance letters), specifically the Teochew letters, as a narrative thread to tell the story of a young man who travels to Thailand to track down his long-lost grandfather, only to uncover a decades-old secret involving a stranger. Dear You premiered in Shantou on April 17, 2026. It was released by Damai Entertainment in select regions of China on April 30, followed by a nationwide theatrical release on May 3. Made on a modest budget of ¥14 million, the film became a massive sleeper hit, grossing over ¥1.8 billion at the domestic box office.
