The Director and Cast of China's Box Office hit 'DEAR YOU' are set to attend the film's Singapore Gala Premiere!

By InCinemas / 16 Jun 2026 (Tuesday)

Clover Films and Golden Village are pleased to jointly announce that director Lan Hongchun, along with lead actors Li Sitong and Wang Yantong, will be in Singapore to attend the Singapore Press Conference and Gala Premiere of the critically acclaimed box office sensation DEAR YOU 《给阿嬷的情书》 on 17 June 2026 at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands!

The trio will meet members of the local media at the Singapore Press Conference before gracing the red carpet at the Singapore Gala Premiere later that evening, where they will engage with audience on stage. Singapore audiences will have the rare opportunity to meet the creative team behind one of the most well-received Chinese-language films of the year.

Featuring a predominantly non-professional cast, the film has emerged as a major dark horse of 2026. Since its release in China on 30 April, it has achieved outstanding word-of-mouth success and strong audience support, topping the mainland China box office for more than five consecutive weeks. The film has grossed more than RMB $1.7 billion at the China box office, making it one of the highest-grossing Chinese films of 2026.

Directed and co-written by Lan Hongchun, DEAR YOU beautifully weaves between two timelines: a grandson who embarks on a present-day search of his long-lost grandfather in Thailand, and a newlywed man who leaves his hometown in China during wartime in the 1940s, travelling to Southeast Asia in search of jobs to support his family. The movie explores buried family secrets and the enduring bonds of love and devotion that were preserved through qiaopi 侨批, historical letters and remittances sent home by overseas Chinese migrants to their families, across half a century.

To celebrate the film's linguistic and cultural heritage, 8 exclusive screenings of DEAR YOU in its original Teochew language version will be held at GVmax, GV VivoCity from 18 to 21 June 2026. These special screenings offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience the film exactly as it was intended, preserving the authenticity and emotional richness of its Teochew dialogue.

Mr Lim Teck, Managing Director of Clover Films, said:

We are honoured to welcome Director Lan Hongchun and cast Li Sitong and Wang Yantong of DEAR YOU to Singapore. The film's remarkable success demonstrates the universal power of heartfelt storytelling. Beyond its box office achievements, DEAR YOU resonates deeply because it reflects the shared history, migration journeys and family values that connect communities across Southeast Asia. We are pleased to be given the opportunity to present the special Teochew-language screenings in Singapore, where many audiences will be able to appreciate the film's cultural authenticity and emotional nuances in their original form.

DEAR YOU opens in Singapore cinemas on 18 June 2026. The film is distributed by Clover Films and Golden Village Pictures, and co-distributed by One Tree Holdings in Singapore.
