'Namiya' to hit Chinese theatres on Dec 29

The Chinese movie adaptation stars Di li re ba. She attended the film's premiere Thursday.

"Tears quietly came into our eyes when we were watching the trailer. The movie is expected to soothe¹ your soul.

Dilireba portrays³ a girl who's good at guitar. The rest of the cast features pop idol⁴ Wang Junkai and actor Dong Zijian. Chinese author Han Han is the art director for the movie which is directed by Han Jie.
