Wei expressed her deepest gratitude to "Dearest" director Peter Chan, who also won Best Director for the film. She was in all praises of Chan's "bold creativity" and of his trust in her to play the part of a widow who became a foster mother to a trafficked young boy. In an article posted by Women of China, Wei also added that she never imagined she is capable of portraying a character based on real events.

Based on true accounts of the kidnapping cases in China, "Dearest" revolves around the story of a young boy who was abducted from his family. In a play by fate, the abductor's widow, played by Wei, also lost her foster daughter. She and the boy's parents both go on years of tireless journey to get their beloved children back.

Despite the many recognitions and business success, Wei refuses to be called by netizens "a winner in life." Actress, pop singer, and film director, Wei always puts emphasis on the hard work she puts in her career and all the sacrifices she had to make over the years.
