Last Letter (Chinese: 你好，之华) is a 2018 romance film written, directed, edited, co-produced and co-scored by Japanese filmmaker Shunji Iwai, based on his own novel, and starring Zhou Xun, Qin Hao and Zhang Zifeng. A Chinese-Hong Kong-Japanese co-production,[3] it was released on November 9, 2018.[4] Iwai adapted the same novel into a Japanese film, also known as Last Letter, released in 2020.[5]
The film tells the story of a Chinese woman named Yuan Zhihua (Zhou Xun), a key figure to resolving a conflict that has lasted three generations.[citation needed]
Yuan Zhihua represents her deceased older sister at a middle school reunion and meets her previous lover, Yi Chuan. This sparks a series of letters involving Zhihua, Yi Chuan, her older sister, and her daughter.
