Dear You (simplified Chinese: 给阿嬷的情书; traditional Chinese: 給阿嬤的情書; lit. 'Love Letters to Grandma') 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. The film is primarily in Teochew, spoken in the Chaoshan region of eastern Guangdong. It also employs qiaopi, 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 ¥1.9 billion at the domestic box office. The film also made an impact in Southeast Asia. In Singapore, its Mandarin release sparked public and parliamentary debates regarding the Speak Mandarin Campaign. Meanwhile, the film influenced political campaigns during state elections in Malaysia.
