Dear You: Beijing puts on movie night for diplomats to help them ‘better understand’ China

Beijing organized a special film screening for 150 foreign diplomats and their families, aiming to deepen their understanding of China.

The event, attended by representatives from 74 embassies, showcased the film 'Dear You.' Shot in the Teochew dialect, the movie delves into the struggles and experiences of Chinese migrants in Southeast Asia over half a century, using remittance letters as a narrative device.

Assistant Foreign Minister Hong Lei stated that the film highlights the hard work of Chinese people abroad and their connection to their homeland. He expressed hope that the screening would allow attendees to gain a more profound insight into the Chinese people's values and perspectives.

The film also touches upon the theme of migration and the efforts of the Chinese diaspora to maintain their cultural heritage in foreign lands.

I hope that by watching this film, everyone can further enter the deep recesses of the Chinese people’s hearts and minds, and better understand China.
