Japanese writer-director Iwai Shunji, whose works have long been well received by Chinese audiences, makes his Chinese-language debut with Last Letter . Like Iwai's classic Love Letter , the film uses letter exchange to bring out a poignant story linking two generations of love and loss. Zhou Xun stars in the quietly arresting drama along with a supporting cast that includes teen actresses Zhang Zifeng ( Chinatown Detective ) and Ancy Deng ( A Cool Fish ), Qin Hao ( Blind Massage ), Du Jiang ( Operation Red Sea ) and Hu Ge ( Nirvana in Fire ). Produced by Peter Chan, Last Letter was nominated for Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress (Zhang Zifeng) at the 55th Golden Horse Film Awards. Zhihua (Zhou Xuan) goes to the high school reunion of her older sister Zhinan who recently passed away. Mistaken for Zhinan the moment she arrives, Zhihua doesn't have the chance to explain and lets the misunderstanding stand. She re-encounters her adolescent crush Yin Chuan (Qin Hao), who liked Zhinan. After the meeting, the two begin to write to each other with Zhihua continuing to pose as Zhinan. To keep the correspondence a secret from her husband, she doesn't give Yin Chuan her real address. Yin Chuan sends a letter to Zhinan's address, and it's received by Zhihua's daughter Saran (Zhang Zifeng) and Zhinan's daughter Mumu (Deng Enxi) who decide to write back. Through the letters, Zhihua, Zhinan and Yin Chuan's past stories are gradually revealed.
