Dear You Attracts You Because It Is About You

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, your friends or your commitments,

you understand that loyalty is built one day at a time.

You still believe in Truth, Goodness and Beauty (真善美).

Even when the world seems to reward shortcuts,

you believe authenticity, kindness and humanity still matter.

Above all, you believe in Qing Yi (情义).

Not fame. Not status. Not wealth.

But caring for people. Keeping your promises.

Standing by others. Doing the right thing.  That is Qing Yi.

And perhaps that is why Dear You has become more than a movie.

It has become a mirror.

A mirror that reminds us of the person we once were.

And the person we still long to be.

This is also why the message of Love Intelligence resonates so deeply.

Love is not merely an emotion.

It is lived through Care, Courage and Connection.

When we live with Love Intelligence, we rediscover what Dear You has been telling us all along:

The greatest success in life is not measured by how much we earn.

It is measured by how much humanity we preserve.

That is why Dear You attracts you.

Because, in the end,

it is about you.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
