A special European premiere of the Chinese box-office hit movie Dear You was held in London on Saturday.
The film tells the story of migrants from China's Chaoshan region who journey to Southeast Asia in search of a better life, and captures the pain of separation and the longing for home across generations.
Expecting an emotional response at the premiere, organizers made 400 packs of tissues available for audience members.
The modest-budget feature had, by June 20, grossed more than 1.8 billion yuan ($265.9 million) at the domestic box office since its Chinese mainland release on April 30, making it China's second-highest-grossing film so far this year.
