T op 5 Dear You Effects How an Ordinary Movie Reveals Extraordinary Truths About Life Dear You is not just a movie. It is a mirror that reflects who we are and who we can become. Behind its simple story are five profound effects that can transform the way we live, lead and love. 1. We Pursue Money, but We Find Qing Yi Xiao Wei went to Thailand looking for money. Instead, he found Qing Yi (情义). Money can support us for a season. But Qing Yi: trust, loyalty, kindness and integrity, feeds us for life. Qing Yi creates trust. Trust creates opportunities. Opportunities create wealth. That is why Qing Yi is Money, and Love Intelligence is Wealth. 2. Restraint Is the Strongest Form of Love The greatest love is often the love that is not spoken. It is patient. It  is faithful.   It is willing to sacrifice. Real love is not about possessing someone. It is about protecting, respecting and quietly standing by another person. Restraint is not weakness.   It is strength guid...

《给阿嬷的情书》一开始，孙子小伟来到泰国，只有一个目的： 找钱。 他以为，只要找到富有的阿公，人生就会改变。 可是，到最后，他找到的不是金钱。 而是 情义 。 他发现，一个人真正拥有的财富，不是银行里的数字，而是留在人们心中的爱、信任与感恩。 金钱可以买到东西，却买不到信任。 金钱可以买到交易，却买不到忠诚。 金钱可以买到关系，却买不到情义。 而 情义，却能创造金钱。 因为有情有义的人，别人愿意相信你。 愿意帮助你。愿意与你合作。愿意一辈子支持你。 信任，最终会带来机会； 机会，最终会创造财富。 这正是《爱的智慧》（LQ）所说的道理。 关爱（Care），让人感受到你的真心。 勇气（Courage），让人尊敬你的品格。 连接（Connection），让人愿意与你同行。 当关爱、勇气和连接结合在一起，就会产生信任。 而信任，就是财富的开始。 所以，我常说： 情义，就是金钱。 爱的智慧，就是财富。 小伟去寻找金钱，最后却找到了情义。 而当他找到情义的时候，他也找到了人生真正的财富。 你们呢？

Why Qing Yi Is Money, and Love Intelligence Is Wealth At the beginning of movie  Dear You , Xiao Wei had only one goal. Money. He believed money could solve his problems. He believed finding his "rich" grandfather in Thailand would change his life. So he chased money. But what he eventually found was something far more valuable. He found Qing Yi (情义). He discovered that true wealth is not measured by how much money a person owns. It is measured by how much love, trust and loyalty a person leaves behind. Money can be earned.  Money can be lost.  Money can be inherited. But Qing Yi must be lived. As Xiao Wei uncovered the story behind the letters, he realized that the greatest legacy was never the inheritance he expected. It was the extraordinary love, sacrifice and unwavering commitment shown by ordinary people. That is Qing Yi. And Qing Yi creates something that money alone never can. Trust. Trust brings opportunities.  Trust attracts people. Trust creates partnershi...

The 4 Stages of Leadership According to Yijing 1. 元 Yuan – Start Right Leadership Question: Should we begin? Every success starts with a worthy beginning. Before launching a project, hiring someone, entering a partnership or introducing change, a leader must ask: Is this aligned with our purpose? Are the conditions right? Do we have the right people? Why are we doing this? Many projects fail not because of poor execution, but because they should never have started. Leadership lesson: Great leaders don't just start quickly—they start wisely. 2. 亨 Heng – Gain Momentum Leadership Question: How do we keep moving? Once the journey begins, leaders must build momentum. This is where communication, trust, teamwork and problem-solving become critical. People begin encountering resistance. Processes require adjustment. Leaders inspire people to continue despite uncertainty. Leadership lesson: Leadership is about creating momentum, not merely giving instructions...

  《给阿嬷的情书》为什么会吸引你？ 因为，它讲的就是你。 为什么《给阿嬷的情书》能够感动千万观众？ 因为它不是在讲别人的故事。 它讲的，就是你的人生。 这些年来，你一直默默地生活。 默默地付出。默默地承担。默默地爱着身边的人。 可是，很少有人真正问过你： “你，还好吗？” 《给阿嬷的情书》替你说出了那些藏在心里很多年的感受。 也许，你会被这部电影感动，因为…… 你爱一个人，不一定说出口。 真正的爱，往往不在甜言蜜语，而是在每天默默的陪伴与付出。 你总是默默牺牲自己。 为了家人，为了孩子， 为了朋友，你把最好的留给别人， 却很少想到自己。 你努力工作，即使没有得到应有的回报。 你或许薪水不高，或许没有掌声， 但你依然认真做好每一件事。 因为你相信，做人，比赚钱更重要。 你愿意做别人不愿意做的事。 不是因为容易，而是因为总要有人去做。 责任，从来不是一句口号。 你忠于自己的承诺。 无论是对伴侣、家人、朋友，还是自己的信念， 你相信，忠诚不是一时的激情， 而是一辈子的选择。 你依然相信 真、善、美。 即使这个世界越来越现实， 你依然相信： 真实，比包装重要。 善良，比算计重要。 美好的人性，比任何成功都珍贵。 最重要的是， 你相信 情义。 不是名利。不是地位。不是财富。 而是关心别人， 信守承诺，知恩图报， 在别人最需要的时候，不离不弃。 因为你知道， 有情有义的人，才是真正值得信赖的人。 也许， 这就是《给阿嬷的情书》最大的魔力。 它不是让我们认识别人。 而是让我们重新认识自己。 它提醒我们，那个曾经相信真善美、 相信情义、相信爱的自己， 其实从来没有离开。 这也是《爱的智慧》（LQ）一直想告诉我们的。 爱， 不是一种感觉。 而是一种能力。 一种关爱（Care）、勇气（Courage）和连接（Connection）的能力。 当我们活出爱的智慧， 我们就会发现，人生真正的成功，不是拥有更多财富，不是获得更多名声，而是在这个越来越冰冷、越来越AI化的时代， 依然活得 有情有义。 所以， 《给阿嬷的情书》之所以吸引你， 是因为，它讲的就是你。

Why has Dear You touched millions of people around the world? Because it isn't really about someone else. It's about you. For too long, you have carried your feelings quietly. You worked hard.  You sacrificed. You endured.  You loved. Yet very few people ever asked, "How are you really feeling?" Dear You does. It gives a voice to the emotions that many of us have kept hidden for years. Perhaps you see yourself in this movie because... You love without needing recognition. Not every act of love is spoken. Some of the greatest love stories are written through everyday actions. You sacrifice quietly. You put your family before yourself. You give without expecting applause. You continue to work hard, even when you feel underappreciated. You believe that doing the right thing matters more than immediate rewards. You do the jobs that others avoid. Not because they are glamorous,  but because someone has to do them. You remain faithful. Whether to your spouse, your family,...

The Biggest Thing You Miss When You Don't Know Yijing Most people think Yijing is about predicting the future. It isn't. Yijing is about understanding reality before it becomes obvious. If you don't understand Yijing, you may spend your life: Solving the wrong problems. Fighting the wrong battles. Making decisions at the wrong time. Managing people using the wrong approach. Reacting to change instead of anticipating it. Yijing teaches that every situation has its own pattern. Success does not come from working harder. It comes from understanding what this situation requires. The same strategy that succeeds today may fail tomorrow. The same leadership style that inspires one employee may demotivate another. The same business opportunity may be perfect today but disastrous six months later. Yijing teaches us to see these invisible patterns before they become visible to everyone else. That is why, for over 7,000 years, emperors, generals, scholars and business leaders have stu...

When people hear leadership , they often think: Authority,  Power,  Decision-making Getting people to do what you want When people hear Sun Tzu's Art of War , they often think: Military tactics,  Competition,  Outsmarting opponents Defeating enemies Ironically, both are wrong. The purpose of leadership is not to control people . It is to bring people together to achieve a common purpose. Likewise, the purpose of Sun Tzu's Art of War is not to teach people how to fight . It is to teach leaders how to achieve victory without fighting whenever possible. The highest strategy is not winning battles.   It is preventing battles. That is why Sun Tzu places Dao (道):  shared purpose and moral alignment—as the very first factor in strategy. Without Dao, people comply only because they have to. With Dao, people commit because they want to. This is remarkably relevant in today's organizations. Employees don't leave because leaders lack authority. They leave becaus...

The Top 8 Misunderstandings About Dear You As Dear You continues to attract packed cinemas and heartfelt discussions, many people still misunderstand what this film is really about. Here are eight of the most common misconceptions. 1. "It's a Teochew movie, so I should only watch it in Teochew." Not necessarily. Most Chinese Singaporeans don't understand rapid conversational Teochew anyway. Even many Teochews may notice that the accent differs from the version they speak. Don't let the language stop you.  Whether you watch it in Teochew or Mandarin, the heart of the story remains the same. 2. "I can't relate. I never lived in the era of handwritten letters." This is perhaps the biggest misunderstanding. Dear You is not about letters.  It is not about old times. It is about us. The letters are simply the bridge that reveals love, sacrifice, loyalty, forgiveness and hope, things every generation understands. 3. "I don't like sad movies....

 < 给阿嬷的情书》的八大误解 误解一：这是潮州话电影，一定要看潮州话版。 其实，大多数新加坡华人都听不懂电影里快速的潮州话；就算是潮州人，也可能觉得电影里的潮州口音与自己熟悉的有所不同。 所以，不必纠结语言版本。无论看潮州话版还是华语版，最重要的是感受故事。 误解二：我没有经历过写信的年代，这部电影跟我无关。 错。 《给阿嬷的情书》不是关于书信，也不是关于过去。 它讲的是亲情、思念、承诺、情义，以及每一个人的人生。 它说的，其实就是我们自己。 误解三：我不喜欢看悲剧。 很多人以为这是催泪电影。 其实，它更像一部充满笑声的人生喜剧。 感人的片段虽然有，却十分克制；幽默和温暖反而贯穿全片。 你会笑，也可能会流泪，但更多的是带着微笑离开电影院。 误解四：演员我一个都不认识。 正因为如此，它更真实。 电影里大多数演员都不是明星，很多甚至是第一次演戏。 他们不是在“演”，而是在真实地活出角色。 所以，你 看到的不是明星，而是真正的人。 误解五：中国票价比海外便宜，是不是在“廉价销售”？ 电影团队希望让更多长者、退休人士和普通家庭都负担得起，因此采取了较亲民的票价。 这是一种让更多人有机会走进电影院的选择，而不是降低电影价值。 误解六：这只是短暂的热潮，很快就会过去。 《给阿嬷的情书》已经不仅仅是一部电影。 它是一种 现象。 它让大家重新讨论亲情、方言、书信文化、情义，以及什么是真正打动人心的电影。 它带来的影响，很可能会持续到未来更多华语电影的创作。 误解七：我平时只看韩国电影、好莱坞电影。 那你更应该看看《给阿嬷的情书》。 因为它没有炫目的特效，没有明星光环，却让人重新思考： 什么叫做人？ 真正打动人的，从来不是制作规模，而是真实的人性。 误解八：有人说这部电影有不同的政治解读，所以不想看。 任何受欢迎的作品，都可能引发不同观点和讨论。 与其根据别人的评价决定，不如亲自走进电影院，看完之后形成自己的判断。 一部能够引起广泛讨论、让观众愿意反复推荐的电影，本身就值得亲身体验。 最后的误解 很多人以为《给阿嬷的情书》是一部关于潮州话、关于书信、关于过去的电影。 其实，它讲的是一个永远不会过时的话题： 真、善、美。 它提醒我们，在AI时代，真正最珍贵的，不是科技，而是人性；不是效率，而是情义；不是语言，而是语言背后的爱。 这也是《爱的智慧》一直想告诉我们的： 有情...

T he Movie with 10 "No's" and broke all records If you asked a movie producer how to make a blockbuster, they would probably give you a long checklist. Dear You  给阿嬷的情书 did exactly the opposite. It has what I call the 10 "No's": 10  things that conventional wisdom says a successful movie cannot do without. Yet it has become one of the biggest word-of-mouth phenomena in recent Chinese cinema. 1. No Stars Nobody knew the actors or the  director. No celebrities.   No famous faces. 2. No Professional Actors Almost everyone in the film had never acted before. The children. The three main characters. The 84-year-old grandmother. The matchmaker auntie. Even the supporting characters. They were ordinary people living ordinary lives.  They just take a break from their daily lives and take part in the movie, and go back to their lives.  3. No Big Sponsors The credits were filled not with multinational corporations, but with neighbourhood businesses that donated ...

Why has Dear You touched millions of hearts? Because it reminds us of a simple but painful truth. The love we are searching for is often already beside us. Yet somehow, it feels so far away. We spend our lives searching for happiness, while overlooking the people who quietly love us. We chase success, but forget those who sacrificed for us. We long to be understood, yet seldom take time to understand others. Love is near. But our hearts have drifted far away. That is the paradox of modern life. We have not lost love. We have lost sight of it. Dear You does not give us a new kind of love. It helps us rediscover the love that has always been there. The parents we forgot to thank. The friends we forgot to call. The promises we forgot to keep. The kindness we forgot to show. The humanity we forgot to live. That is why the movie feels magical. It helps us lose what should be lost: our indifference. And find what should never have been lost: love. In the language of Love Intelligence (LQ),...

为什么这么多新加坡人，坚持要看《给阿嬷的情书》的潮州话原版？ 有人说，应该让电影院上映更多方言电影；也有人认为没有必要。 其实，我们问错了问题。 真正的问题是： 再过三十、五十年，还有多少人听得懂潮州话、福建话、广东话？ 今天走进电影院的大多数观众，都曾经和阿公阿嬷说方言。电影里的每一句对白，都勾起了他们对亲情、乡愁和童年的回忆。 可是，这一代人终将老去。 年轻一代，很多已经不会说方言；有些甚至连华语和中华文化都越来越陌生。 当一种方言消失，消失的不只是语言，而是一种生活方式、一份文化记忆，更是一代人的情感。 《给阿嬷的情书》之所以感动无数人，并不是因为它是一部潮州话电影。 而是因为它 用最真实的方言，说出了最真实的人性 。 它让我们重新想起什么是亲情，什么是感恩，什么是 情义 。 AI可以翻译任何语言，却无法翻译阿嬷叫你乳名时的温度。那是爱的智慧。 科技可以保存资料，却保存不了文化。 真正能够把方言传承下去的，不是电影院，而是我们愿不愿意让年轻人重新认识自己的根。 也许，《给阿嬷的情书》留给我们的，不只是眼泪。 而是一个提醒： 别让方言，成为下一封再也收不到的情书。

Many people ask why Singaporeans are so passionate about the Teochew movie Dear You . Some argue that cinemas should screen more dialect movies. Others disagree. I believe we are asking the wrong question. The real question is this: In another 30 to 50 years, who will still understand our dialects? Most of the people rushing to watch Dear You in its original Teochew version belong to the older generation. They grew up speaking Teochew, Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka or Hainanese at home. The dialect in the movie reminds them of their parents, grandparents and childhood. But time is moving on. One day, this generation will no longer be with us. Many young Singaporeans today cannot speak dialects. Some are not even comfortable speaking Mandarin. As each generation passes, another piece of our cultural memory quietly disappears. A dialect is far more than a way of speaking. It carries family stories. It carries humour that cannot be translated. It carries values. It carries affection. It ...

Many people see Dear You as a touching story about love, sacrifice and family. But beneath its emotional storyline lies something much deeper—the timeless wisdom of Yijing (I Ching), the oldest classic of Chinese philosophy. Yijing is not merely a book of divination. It is a book about understanding life. It teaches us how to respond wisely to changing situations, how causes create effects, and how seemingly unrelated events are connected as one unfolding journey. Remarkably, these three principles are beautifully manifested throughout Dear You . 1. Act According to the Situation (因时制宜) Yijing teaches that wisdom is not rigid. Every situation calls for a different response. Lan Zhi demonstrates this perfectly. When Mu Sheng is imprisoned, Lan Zhi faces an impossible choice. She could reveal the truth and shatter Shu Rou's hope, or continue writing letters in Mu Sheng's name and send money home, preserving her faith and giving her strength to carry on. She chooses the latter, n...

At first glance, they couldn't be more different. One is a 2,500-year-old military classic. The other is a heartwarming movie that has touched millions through its message of Qing Yi (情义) —care, loyalty, integrity, and courage. Yet both teach the same timeless truth. Sun Tzu wrote: "The supreme excellence is to win without fighting." He also taught that the highest form of leadership is to unite people through the Dao (道) —a shared moral purpose that inspires willing commitment rather than forced obedience. In Dear You , we see this lived out through Qing Yi . People do not stay because they are forced to. They stay because they care. They sacrifice because relationships matter. They choose loyalty over convenience. That is leadership through the heart. In today's organizations, leaders often rely on authority, KPIs, and processes. These are necessary, but they are rarely enough to inspire discretionary effort. People may comply with authority. But they commit to Qin...

  《给阿嬷的情书》之所以成为现象级电影，并不只是因为它拍得好。 而是因为，我们都觉得自己和这部电影有关系。 我们对这部电影有一种**“利害关系” 它不是别人的故事。 它讲的，就是我们的人生。 这部电影几乎完全靠观众口碑传播，很多人看了一次，还会再看第二次、第三次。 这不是宣传的力量。而是共鸣的力量。 因为电影里的每一个片段，都让我们想起生命中的某一个人。 那个曾经深爱的人。 那个已经离开的人。 那个来不及说谢谢的人。 那个一直默默陪伴我们，却被我们忽略的人。 于是，我们哭了。不是因为剧情悲伤。 而是因为电影让我们重新看见了自己。 它唤醒了那些早已被忙碌掩盖的情感。 爱。失去。距离。关怀。感恩。 连接。勇气。 这些，并不仅仅是情绪。 这些，正是 人之所以为人 。 今天，我们不断讨论AI能够做什么。 或许，更重要的问题应该是： 人，究竟是什么？ 《给阿嬷的情书》给了我们一个简单却深刻的答案。 做人，就是懂得去爱。 懂得关心别人。 懂得感恩。 懂得珍惜。 懂得陪伴。 懂得活出 情义 。 这也是为什么这部电影能够如此打动人心。 因为它提醒我们，无论我们的职位有多高，财富有多少，科技发展得多快， 我们终究只是一个渴望爱、渴望被爱、渴望被理解的人。 在AI越来越聪明的时代，真正珍贵的竞争力， 不是更聪明，而是更有人情味。 而这， 正是《给阿嬷的情书》的力量。 也是《爱的智慧》一直想告诉我们的： 有情有义，才是真正的人。
