Xiao Wei Hunted for Money and Found Qing Yi Instead

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 partnerships. Trust builds businesses.

Trust creates loyal customers. Trust eventually creates money.

That is why I say:

Qing Yi is Money.

Not because Qing Yi replaces money.

But because Qing Yi creates the trust from which money naturally flows.

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

LQ is not about being soft.

It is about creating lasting value through:

Care – People feel valued.

Courage – People respect your integrity.

Connection – People choose to stay with you.

When these three come together, they create trust.

When trust grows, wealth follows.

Not only financial wealth, but also the wealth of meaningful relationships, a respected reputation, a united family, a committed team, and a life that truly matters.

Perhaps that is the hidden message of Dear You.

Xiao Wei went to Thailand looking for money.

Instead, he found Qing Yi.

And in doing so, he found something even greater than money.

He found wealth.

Because money fills your pocket.

But Qing Yi fills your life.

And Love Intelligence turns both into lasting wealth.

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...
