At the 22nd Shenzhen ICIF, I met Hartanto W. Tanto — a 4th-gen Chinese Indonesian whose family story spans over a century of China–Southeast Asia exchange His family migrated from Fujian during the "Nanyang" era. His grandma sent both his father (1960s) and him (1999) back to China to study Chinese This year, he brought two Indonesian treasures: sambal sauce & Batik textiles "The sambal recipe came from my grandmother. It started with Chinese family cooking, but local ingredients changed the flavor over time. It became the taste I grew up with." For Hartanto, culture isn't black and white — it's fusion "Many Indonesian Chinese traditions trace back to Guangdong & Fujian, mixed with local culture and evolved into something entirely new." At ICIF, history isn't just in museums — it's in a bottle of chili sauce and family memories carried across the seas.

As Dear You prepares for its overseas release, Malaysian Chinese leader Ong Tee Keat says the film's Qiaopi (overseas Chinese letters and remittances) stories reflect the affection, integrity, and family values passed down through generations. Drawing from his own family's experience of sending Qiaopi between Malaysia and China, Ong believes the film is a touching reminder of the enduring bond between overseas Chinese and their ancestral homeland.
