Audience members are moved to tears during a screening of the Shenzhen-produced word-of-mouth hit “Dear You” in Venice, Italy, on Tuesday. The screening and a meet-and-greet with the cast and crew were held during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival as part of its global promotion series for Chinese-language films. The Teochew-language drama has become one of China’s defining box-office stories of 2026. After a 123-day theatrical run, it grossed 2.004 billion yuan (US$298 million).China News Service
