The Thai movie 'Grand Sun Wealth Strategy' has achieved great success in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, breaking records in terms of box office sales. The film not only brings tears with its depiction of family relationships but also showcases Thai-Chinese cultural contexts. Through scenes involving the Chaozhou dialect, the film reflects the unique phenomenon of contemporary Thai-Chinese people no longer communicating in Chinese due to historical factors. The inclusion of the old Chaozhou lullaby song in the movie adds a poignant touch, particularly resonating with lead actor Billkin, who grew up in a Chinese family and is familiar with the song. The film also explores unique aspects of Thai funeral customs, incorporating scenes of family members knocking on coffins, which have become a common practice in Thai funerals despite differing from traditional Chinese funeral customs.
