Dear You (also known as Letter to Grandma) is a heartwarming Chinese film directed by Lan Hongchun. Set against the background of the “Going to Nanyang (Southeast Asia)” movement, it tells a story of love and kindness that has moved millions of viewers.
The main character is Grandma Ye Shurou. She waited for her husband for fifty years after he went to Nanyang to find work. All those years, she kept receiving letters and money from her husband but he never came back.
Her grandson owes money to others. He runs away to Thailand. While there, he also wants to learn about his grandfather. But he finds out a big secret: the person who wrote letters and sent money to Grandma all her life was not her husband. It was a stranger named Xie Nanzhi. She was thankful to her grandpa so she did this for many years.
This film is truly outstanding because it was made with a small budget and ordinary actors. Even so, Dear You has got some of the highest scores this year. Many viewers say this film is like a soft, quiet trip through time. Instead of using loud music or speeches to make people cry, the director uses a gentle documentary style to show true emotions. It perfectly shows the spirit of Chaoshan people: their courage, their hard work, and their strong sense of duty to both family and country.
This movie tells us: true and honest love never needs fancy words. It lies in long waiting, quiet care, and brave acts. It is a moving story that proves the strongest ties between people are not built by blood, but by kindness.

Do you know what people in other countries called China thousands of years ago Long ago, ancient countries like Greece (希腊) and Rome (罗马) knew about China, but they didn’t call it “China”. Instead, they used special names that told stories about soft silk, powerful dynasties (朝代), and busy seaways.
Seres: The Land of Silk
The people in ancient Greece and Rome truly loved Chinese silk for its soft touch. They knew that silk came from a country far to the east, so they decided to call that place Seres or Serica. In their languages, these names simply meant “The Land of Silk.”
Sinae: The Name from the Word “Qin”
Later on, people from Rome started using another name: Sinae. Experts in history believe this word comes from the Qin Dynasty. Even though the dynasty itself didn’t last very long, its name traveled down by sea to different parts of the world.
Cathay: The Influence of the Khitans (契丹)
During the Middle Ages (中世纪) in Italy, the most common name for China was Cathay. It came from the Khitan fighters, who created the Liao Dynasty When Italian explorers like Marco Polo traveled over land across the dangerous Silk Road, they met the Liao Dynasty first. Therefore, they used that name for the country.
China: The Name from the Sea
You might be thinking: Where does “China” come from In fact, it comes from the same word as “Sinae” — Qin. While the earlier trips over land gave Italy the name “Cathay”, the seaways from the south gave the world “China”.
9. Who would call China “Cathay”
A．A fighter from the Qin Dynasty.
B．An Italian from the Middle Ages.
C．A Japanese woman that loved silk.
D．A traveler visiting Greece from Rome.
10. What can you infer from the passage
A．Marco Polo was a friend to the Khitans.
B．“Sinae” and “China” came from the same word.
C．People in Rome didn’t know where silk came from.
D．People travelled to China in different ways over time.
11. All of the following influence the names for China except ________.
A．war B．silk C．Qin Dynasty D．Italian explorers
12. Which is the best title for the passage
A．How China talked with the world
B．What is behind China’s oldest name
C．What the world once called China
D．How Italian explorers gave China its name
D
Travelling around the world can be exciting, but it can also lead to culture shock and feelings of stress.
When I moved to Tuscany, Italy, right after college, I was enamored by the scenery. Who wouldn’t be The rolling hills, beautiful buildings and delicious food made the long flight worth every minute. I was excited about my new beginning. But then, I started to notice little things.
As Americans, we are used to a bit of personal space. Where I’m from, knocking into someone or standing very closely is considered rude. This is different from the truth in Italy.
Since this was before translation apps were common, I would feel helpless sometimes for not knowing the language. However, Italians like to speak with their hands — a habit I’ve carried over to this day.
Of course, just because you’ve experienced culture shock in one country doesn’t mean you won’t do so in another.
Years later, when I moved to China, my experience was special. The culture there was something very foreign to me — down to how to buy things. Before moving there, I had never heard of WeChat or Alipay. I wasn’t prepared at all for how important these things would be.
Experiencing small waves of culture shock reminds me that I am travelling around the world and that I should appreciate what I’m taking in.
AmericanBritish writer Bill Bryson said that “…the greatest reward of travel is…to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar that it is taken for granted (被认为是理所当然的).”
13. What does the underlined word “enamored” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Worried. B．Interested. C．Frightened. D．Fascinated.
14. What culture shock did the author experience in Italy
A．Italians don’t learn a foreign language.
B．Italians like to speak English with hands.
C．Italians stand quite close to each other.
D．Italian scenery isn’t as beautiful as expected.
15. What helped the writer understand what Italians were saying to her
A．Their hand gestures.
B．Asking for a guide.
C．Using translation apps.
D．Their appearances.
16. We can infer that the writer ________ when arriving in China.
A．bought things online
B．experienced culture shock again
C．fit in with life faster
D．has learned about WeChat or Alipay

In China, there are many rules for eating. These rules are an important part of Chinese culture. Whether at a restaurant or someone’s home, knowing these rules helps you fit in. People around you will feel more comfortable, too.
Chinese table manners come from old traditions. You must follow these rules. If not, you may make people unhappy. In fact, many Chinese families have taught their children these manners since they were very little. Here are some easy rules to remember.
Food is served in big dishes. Most of the time, shared chopsticks are provided on the table. Use them to take food to your plate. If there are no shared chopsticks, watch what others do and do the same. Sometimes, a host puts food in your bowl. This is normal.
Eat the food people give you. If you can’t eat something, finish the rest. Leaving a little food shows you are full.
Never put your chopsticks straight up in rice. People do this at funerals (葬礼). Don’t play with your chopsticks. Don’t point at things with them. Don’t tap them on the table. Put your chopsticks on your plate when you finish.
When you toast (敬酒), hold your glass lower than older people’s.
It’s okay to spit bones onto the table, next to your plate.
Don’t be surprised if people eat with their mouths open. This is normal in China. Just enjoy your meal.
