I am Just Following My Heart: the 3 Great Lovers in Dear You

"I Am Just Following My Heart."

What Dear You Teaches Me About Love Intelligence

When people talk about Dear You, they often focus on Mu Sheng, Nan Zhi and Shurou.

But three lesser-known characters quietly reveal the deepest meaning of Love Intelligence.

Xie Laishun – The Father Who Let Love Be Free

He looked like a drunk who cared about nothing.

Yet beneath that rough exterior was a father who never tried to control his daughter Nanzhi. 

He simply trusted her. He protected her.

He gave her the freedom to follow her own heart.

That is Care with Courage.

Xiao Wei – The Grandson Who Found Qing Yi

As the grandson of Shurou, he went to Thailand looking for money.

Instead, he found no money but something cannot buy.

He discovered that the greatest inheritance is not wealth, but Qing Yi.

His journey reminds us that true prosperity begins with becoming a good person.

Zhehua – The Son Who Quietly Carried Love Forward

He never stood in the spotlight as the adopted son of Nan Zhi

Yet through his quiet actions, he honoured Nan Zhi's life and values.

Without loud speeches or dramatic gestures, he continued the spirit of kindness, gratitude and responsibility.

That is how love is passed from one generation to the next.

"I Am Just Following My Heart."

None of these three characters sought recognition.

None asked whether there was anything to gain.

They simply followed what they believed was right.

They followed their hearts.

That is the beauty of Dear You.

It teaches us that Truth, Goodness and Beauty are not found in grand heroic acts.

They are found in ordinary people quietly choosing to care, to do the right thing, and to build meaningful human connections.

That is also the essence of Love Intelligence (LQ).

Sometimes the greatest people are not the main characters.

They are the ordinary people who quietly remind us what it truly means to be human.

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...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.
