Come and help each other with love and righteousness

I am very honored to have participated in this movie, and many Thai overseas Chinese community members like me have appeared on screen and cooperated fully. Everyone is willing to help, which is our inherent understanding. I have been traveling between Thailand and China since I was young, and my parents advised me to learn Chaoshan dialect. Overseas, for Chaoshan people, a local accent is like a passport. I am starting a business overseas, and my compatriots treat me as their own younger generation. This kind of sibling sentiment has always flowed in our bones. ——Thai overseas Chinese and self media blogger "Thai V Sister" Chen Yingling, I see countless shadows of people from Southeast Asia and Chaoshan from Zheng Musheng. There was a folk song in Chaoshan that goes: "One stream, tears, one boat of people, one bath cloth has been to a foreign land. Qian Yin knows how to send someone back, and never forget to share the house with his parents." When our ancestors went to Southeast Asia, they all did the most tiring and arduous work. When they tenaciously survived and established themselves, their hearts were always concerned about their hometown and loved ones, and they scrimped and saved to send money home. This is the Chinese people, Chinese heart, Chinese culture, and Chinese spirit. ——Chen Hailiang, Chairman of Xinqiao Group Thailand Limited, was deeply touched after reading "A Love Letter to Grandma". Tens of thousands of Chinese workers have left their hometowns and crossed oceans, enduring harsh environments and working overtime to participate in the construction of the North American railway. With resilience, diligence, and kindness, they have established themselves overseas and never forget their homeland and loved ones. Our generation of overseas Chinese should continue the spirit of hard work and perseverance of our predecessors. ——Huang Fengqiao, Executive Vice President of the Canadian Federation of Trendy Societies and Vice President of the International Federation of Trendy Youth, praised that it is not just a remittance slip and a postscript, but a family letter written by our ancestors with blood and tears. Most of our ancestors did not speak the local language, had no capital or connections, and managed to establish themselves on unfamiliar land with their own hands. Like Xie Nanzhi in the movie, many overseas Chinese who are not wealthy themselves still help their fellow villagers who are not related to them and support the elderly living alone in the village. This kind of kindness of 'giving without expecting anything in return' reflects the inherent qualities of our ancestors. ——Xie Nanzhi, a member of the 10th and 11th Guangdong Provincial Congress of Returned Overseas Chinese and Their Relatives, is portrayed in the movie by Cai Jiarong. With just one promise, she waits for her whole life, which is a true portrayal of the character of Chaoshan people. Overseas Chinese in Chaoshan attach great importance to integrity and the spirit of contract, which are the foundation for the success of overseas Chinese business and community unity. There is a saying in Chaoshan and Southeast Asia that has been circulating for a hundred years, "There is an Ergefeng when you are born, and there is a Dafeng when you die." It means that someone gives Congee when you are alive, and someone collects the corpse when you are dead. Helping each other with emotions and righteousness "means being a person with emotions and righteousness, and having benefactors to assist. This spirit of mutual assistance has been passed down from generation to generation and has never ceased. ——Zhou Zhaogeng, Vice President of the Thailand China Peaceful Reunification Promotion Association (Looking into the New Era)
