This week, Chloe Feng and Brian Wong will look at the recent heartwarming film,“Dear You", which premiered quietly in late April with no major promotion. Yet over the past few weeks, it has steadily gained national attention, climbing to an impressive average rating of 9.1 out of 10 on Douban, China's leading review platform—making it the highest-rated film released in the country so far this year. The low-budget film is centered on Qiaopi - letters containing money that overseas Chinese sent home via parallel traders or couriers in the past-and this has sparked reflection and nostalgia, especially among overseas Chinese who once sought their fortunes in Southeast Asia. So what made the film so special? And what is Qiaopi all about? Chloe and Brian discusses this with Professor Lawrence Pang, founding president of the Academy of Chinese Wisdom and Management.

China’s solo-preneurship era has arrived. Local governments are offering free apartments, converted offices and other perks to lure “One Person Companies” (OPCs) — single-founder startups that use AI tools like vibe-coding agents and video generators to build products solo, sometimes even without venture funding or staff.
Can AI-powered solo ventures scale into lasting businesses? What opportunities are there? Chloe Feng and Brian Wong will be discussing this with Kevin Pereira, Managing Director at Blu Artificial Intelligence, and Lin Zhang, an associate professor at the University of New Hampshire.
