Dearest

In the movie Dearest Tian Wenjun and Lu Xiaojuan were once a loving couple. However, the feelings between the two were exhausted by time and quarrel. Eventually, they chose to divorce. Now, the only hub connecting the two is the lovely son Tian Peng. However, one day, the only bond was broken. Tian Peng disappeared for no reason when he went out to play, in despair and collapse, Tian Wenjun and Lu Xiaojuan embarked on a long journey of finding children, and met many hopeless parents along the way.
As time passed by, a clue about Tian Peng surfaced, prompting Tian Wenjun and his wife to come to a remote village, where they saw a boy resembling Tian Peng, but the “mum” of the boy ’s was not Lu Xiaojuan, but a village woman named Li Hongqin.

As the movie progressed to the second half, as the plot developed, the theme of the entire movie began to be clear, not only began to interpret the entire story within the moral framework, but also began the interpretation of the entire story within the three frameworks of moral,emotional tie and law.
The child is found, definitely should follow his own parents in accordance with the law. The whole thing is undoubtedly within the framework of the law, but time is a complicated thing. As an adult, time may be just means day by day, but as a child who is trafficked on a very early age, time is something that will give them a family relationship, just like in this film the boy forms affection to li hongqin who is not his real mother.
Not only did the child’s living habits change within two years, but the whole concept began to change. He was more comfortable with his parents, his current life, the love of parents that he is receiving now. This is a very painful thing for their biological parents, who is searching them for so long. That their own child have settled in a new life, a new life that without them.

Nearly 200,000 children are trafficked in China each year, this is an alarming number. And this film is actually based on real event, i guess the only lucky thing in the film after Tian Peng was trafficked is that he was raised by Li Hongqin. The film also demonstrated social phenomenon like the dereliction of duty.
