Ong Tee Keat, President of the Belt and Road Initiative Caucus for Asia Pacific and former Minister of Transport of Malaysia, praised the film's portrayal of dedication, kindness and integrity as enduring values passed down through generations of overseas Chinese families. He also urged the public not to over-politicize these cultural memories, noting that behind Qiaopi and the film lies a timeless story of family affection, nostalgia, and the enduring bond between overseas Chinese and their ancestral homeland.

As Dear You prepares for its overseas release, Malaysian Chinese leader Ong Tee Keat says the film's Qiaopi (overseas Chinese letters and remittances) stories reflect the affection, integrity, and family values passed down through generations. Drawing from his own family's experience of sending Qiaopi between Malaysia and China, Ong believes the film is a touching reminder of the enduring bond between overseas Chinese and their ancestral homeland.
