Yijing Oneness and Yin Yang Manifested in Dear You

Learn Yijing from Dear You

Many people think the Yijing (I Ching) is mysterious or difficult to understand.

But if you have watched Dear You, you have already seen many of its timeless principles in action.

1. Oneness (万物一体)

Yijing teaches that everything is interconnected.

In Dear You, Musheng, Nanzhi, Shurou and even Xie Laishun are not separate stories. Their lives become one through a single promise, a letter, and an act of love.

When one person suffers, everyone is affected.

When one person chooses love, everyone benefits.

That is the wisdom of oneness.

2. Yin and Yang (阴阳)

Life is never simply right or wrong.

Truth and compassion.

Gain and sacrifice.

Joy and sorrow.

Nanzhi's "lie" appears wrong on the surface, yet it brings hope to an entire family. What seems negative (Yin) gives birth to something positive (Yang).

Yijing reminds us that Yin contains Yang, and Yang contains Yin.

Nothing is absolute.

3. Change (变易)

Everything changes.

Musheng passes away. Nanzhi grows old.

Shurou's children become adults.

Yet one thing never changes: Love.

Yijing teaches that while circumstances constantly change, timeless virtues remain.

4. Balance (中道)

No one in the movie goes to extremes.

The characters exercise restraint. They do not dramatise.

They do not seek revenge. They quietly fulfil their responsibilities.

This reflects the Yijing principle of harmony through balance.

The Greatest Lesson

Dear You is more than a movie.

It is a living lesson in Yijing.

It shows us that life's greatest wisdom is not about predicting the future.

It is about living each day with Care, Courage and Connection.

When we understand Oneness, we naturally care for others.

When we understand Yin and Yang, we stop judging people too quickly.

When we embrace Change, we learn to cherish every moment.

Perhaps that is why Dear You touches millions around the world.

Without mentioning the Yijing once,

it quietly lives out the wisdom of the Yijing in every scene.

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. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
