Dear You
Advertisement
1940s, South China. Musheng emigrates to Thailand to avoid the Chinese civil war draft, leaving behind his young wife Shurou and their three children. Like many overseas Chinese workers, he initially sends letters and money home via a system known as Qiaopi. When Musheng’s letters eventually stop arriving, Shurou believes he has abandoned his homeland for a second family. Years later, an incredible truth emerges...
A huge unexpected box-office hit in China, Dear You combines epic family drama with a rare exploration of South China’s migration history, and in particular qiaopi correspondence, now considered historical documents, and of such great cultural value that UNESCO added these documents to the Memory of the World Register in 2013. A fascinating, enjoyable crowd-pleaser.
