FFCCCII is proud to support two advance screenings of ‘Dear You’, one of China’s biggest box-office hits

THE Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) is proud to support one of China’s biggest box-office hits, “Dear You” by sponsoring two advance screenings. 

Happening on August 5, 2026 (Wednesday), 7:00p.m. at SM Mall of Asia IMAX, and August 8, 2026 (Saturday), 6:30 p.m. at SM North EDSA Cinema 3, followed by theatrical releaso on August 12, 2026.

In cooperation with the Anvil Business Club, one of the more than 170 Filipino Chinese chambers of commerce and business organizations that comprise the Federation, with members from Aparri to Tawi-Tawi.

This remarkable family drama film has become a major box-office success across Asia. 

Directed and co-written by Lan Hongchun. It stars a largely non-professional cast featuring Li Sitong, Wang Yantong, Wu Shaoqing, Zheng Runqi and Wang Xiaohui, alongside Thai actress Usha Seamkhum.

Made on a modest budget of 14 million yuan and it grossed over 1.9 billion yuan domestically in China.

It tells a moving and inspiring story of the overseas Chinese experience between Thailand and southern China-a touching narrative of family, sacrifice, resilience, and hope. 

Beyond deepening cultural understanding and appreciating the history of Chinese migration, this film also highlights the timeless importance of strong family values.

According to the FFCCCII President Victor Lim, “We believe its message will resonate deeply with Filipinos. As a nation with millions of Overseas Filipino Workers serving in many parts of the world, we understand the sacrifices, separation, and emotional journeys of families striving to build better lives for their loved ones.

“The movie is primarily in the Teochew language, which shares many similarities with the Hokkien language spoken by many members of the Filipino Chinese community, and it is accompanied by English subtitles.”

The Federation has always been committed not only to promoting sustainable and inclusive economic growth in the Philippines and supporting meaningful socio-civic and charitable initiatives, but also to advancing cultural exchanges that foster mutual understanding, strengthen friendship among peoples, and celebrate our shared heritage.

“One recent example of this commitment was our invitation last month to popular vertical drama actress Zhang Yingfei of the hit series Linda Walker to visit the Philippines. Through her visit, we hoped to inspire our youth to value education, perseverance, and hard work in pursuing a better future. 

“This advocacy reflects the spirit of our “Operation: Barrio Schools” program, through which the FFCCCII has donated more than 6,500 public school buildings to underserved communities throughout the country since 1961.”
