The surprise Chinese blockbuster "Dear You" is taking Malaysia by storm, pulling in a staggering $3.75 million at the box office and making the country its largest market outside China. The film follows Teochew migrants to Southeast Asia in the first half of the 20th century – a story that mirrors the ancestral journeys of many Chinese Malaysians. Fans in Kuala Lumpur waited for hours to catch a glimpse of director Lan Hongchun and the stars during an event. Though set in Thailand, the director revealed that many of the film's sets were inspired by his travels through Malaysia, adding an extra layer of familiarity for local audiences. #dearyou #chinesemoive
