近日，电影《给阿嬷的情书》热度持续发酵，豆瓣电影评分攀升至9.1分，成为今年以来开分最高的国产电影。
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.
没有大投资、大制作，没有强情节、强特效，这部小成本的方言电影，却凭借着真挚的情感与深沉的历史叙事，让不少人“含泪推荐”。
电影里有人说：“坐船大概要一个多月”，路途凶险，九死一生。清朝末年，大量的华人去南洋讨生活，一封封侨批成为跨越重洋的联结。
什么是“侨批”？闽南语里，“信”读作“批”，附上钱，邮回国，叫“侨批”，是“银信合一”的特殊载体。
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.
据了解，《给阿嬷的情书》主演多为第一次拍电影的素人，影片中饰演谢南枝的李思潼则是广东财经大学金融学院2022级金融工程专业大四学生，此前同样没有表演经验。
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.
据羊城晚报报道，机缘始于两年前，李思潼在短视频平台随手分享了一段生活日常，没想到被《给阿嬷的情书》导演蓝鸿春刷到，并发出试戏邀请。
Li was invited to audition after director Lan Hongchun came across a short video she had posted online two years ago.
“那是一个特别普通的下午，但现在回头看，我好像在那天做出了人生中一个重大的决定。”李思潼说，最初拿到手的只有几千字的大纲，没有完整剧本，但当“谢南枝”的故事出现在纸上时，自己“胸口像堵住了一样，情绪一下子就涌了上来”。
Although she initially received only a brief outline rather than a full script, Li said she was immediately moved by the character's story.
为了演好“谢南枝”这个角色，非科班出身的李思潼做了不少功课：查阅潮汕侨批历史，了解那个年代“下南洋”的辛酸；反复研读剧本，把自己完全代入南枝的人生；向长辈前辈讨教，学习潮汕风俗和生活经验。“我没有学过表演，只能用最‘笨’的方法——成为她，经历她所经历的一切。”她说。
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.
对于金融专业的学生跨界当演员一事，李思潼表示：“学什么专业不代表就要做什么。金融教给我的理性思维，反而让我更能看清现实的复杂，更能体会到南枝那份善良的珍贵。”
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.

中国青年报注意到，这几天，李思潼回到了广东财经大学，参加学校里的《给阿嬷的情书》观影活动。观影现场，不少同学动容落泪。
拍完戏回到校园，李思潼则认为自己变得更加从容笃定了。“很多细碎的瞬间，我都能感觉到南枝留在我身上的影子。以前遇到事情我可能会慌，但现在我会像她一样，冷静地去面对、去解决。”
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."
