Why Millions Are Watching Dear You Again, and Why You Should Share It

Very few movies make people return to the cinema a second or third time.

Dear You has.

Not because of spectacular action. Not because of famous stars.

But because it heals something that many of us didn't even know was broken.

1. It reminds us of Qing Yi (情义): the belief that relationships are built not on transactions, but on loyalty, responsibility and doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

2. It reminds us of the Qiaopi (侨批): letters sent home by early migrants that carried not just money, but messages of integrity, hope and a promise never to abandon one's family.

3. It celebrates women of extraordinary strength. Instead of competing for love, one woman quietly protects another woman's family for 18 years, asking for nothing in return. That is not romance. That is humanity.

4. It honours those who refused to let their language and culture disappear. Even in hardship, they believed that preserving their heritage was preserving their identity.

Perhaps that is why this movie has become a phenomenon.

It reminds us that the world is not longing for more cleverness.

It is longing for more goodness. 
Not more technology. More humanity.

Not more success.
More people with Qing Yi.

Maybe the greatest miracle of Dear You is not what happened on the screen.

It is what happens after the movie ends.

People call their parents. Thank their spouses. Visit their grandparents.  Reconnect with old friends.

  • They become a little kinder.
  • A little more grateful.
  • A little more human.

If one movie can remind us how to care, how to sacrifice, and how to live with Love Intelligence, perhaps it is more than a movie.  It is a movement. 

Perhaps it is exactly what our world needs today.

If this message touches your heart, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with someone you care about. They may need it more than you know.

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...
