近日，電影《給阿嬤的情書》熱度持續發酵，豆瓣電影評分攀升至9.1分，成為今年以來開分最高的國產電影。

Chinese film Dear You has become the highest-rated domestic release of the year on Douban, a popular online review platform, with audiences praising its heartfelt storytelling and historical depth despite its modest budget and largely amateur cast.

沒有大投資、大制作，沒有強情節、強特效，這部小成本的方言電影，卻憑借著真摯的情感與深沉的歷史敘事，讓不少人“含淚推薦”。

電影里有人說：“坐船大概要一個多月”，路途兇險，九死一生。清朝末年，大量的華人去南洋討生活，一封封僑批成為跨越重洋的聯結。

什么是“僑批”？閩南語里，“信”讀作“批”，附上錢，郵回國，叫“僑批”，是“銀信合一”的特殊載體。

Centered on the history of Chaoshan qiaopi — letters and remittances sent home by overseas Chinese, the film has resonated with viewers through its intimate portrayal of family bonds and the hardships of migration.

據了解，《給阿嬤的情書》主演多為第一次拍電影的素人，影片中飾演謝南枝的李思潼則是廣東財經大學金融學院2022級金融工程專業大四學生，此前同樣沒有表演經驗。

Among the mostly first-time actors is Li Sitong, a financial engineering senior at Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, who had no previous acting experience before taking on the role of Xie Nanzhi.

據羊城晚報報道，機緣始于兩年前，李思潼在短視頻平臺隨手分享了一段生活日常，沒想到被《給阿嬤的情書》導演藍鴻春刷到，并發出試戲邀請。

Li was invited to audition after director Lan Hongchun came across a short video she had posted online two years ago.

“那是一個特別普通的下午，但現在回頭看，我好像在那天做出了人生中一個重大的決定。”李思潼說，最初拿到手的只有幾千字的大綱，沒有完整劇本，但當“謝南枝”的故事出現在紙上時，自己“胸口像堵住了一樣，情緒一下子就涌了上來”。

Although she initially received only a brief outline rather than a full script, Li said she was immediately moved by the character's story.

為了演好“謝南枝”這個角色，非科班出身的李思潼做了不少功課：查閱潮汕僑批歷史，了解那個年代“下南洋”的辛酸；反復研讀劇本，把自己完全代入南枝的人生；向長輩前輩討教，學習潮汕風俗和生活經驗。“我沒有學過表演，只能用最‘笨’的方法——成為她，經歷她所經歷的一切。”她說。

To prepare for the role, she researched the history of Chaoshan emigrants who traveled to Southeast Asia, studied local customs and traditions, and immersed herself in the script. She also sought advice from elders to better understand the experiences and mindset of people from that era.

"I never studied acting, so I could only use the most straightforward method — to become her and experience everything she experienced," Li said.

對于金融專業的學生跨界當演員一事，李思潼表示：“學什么專業不代表就要做什么。金融教給我的理性思維，反而讓我更能看清現實的復雜，更能體會到南枝那份善良的珍貴。”

Speaking about her transition from finance to acting, Li said a person's academic major should not define their future career path. She added that studying finance helped her better understand the complexity of reality and appreciate the character's kindness.

中國青年報注意到，這幾天，李思潼回到了廣東財經大學，參加學校里的《給阿嬤的情書》觀影活動。觀影現場，不少同學動容落淚。

拍完戲回到校園，李思潼則認為自己變得更加從容篤定了。“很多細碎的瞬間，我都能感覺到南枝留在我身上的影子。以前遇到事情我可能會慌，但現在我會像她一樣，冷靜地去面對、去解決。”

Reflecting on the experience, Li said filming the movie had made her calmer and more self-assured.

"In many small moments, I can still feel Nanzhi's influence on me," she said. "In the past, I might have panicked when facing difficulties, but now I try to face them calmly, just as she would."
