Namiya is a Chinese film directed by Han Jie, based on Keigo Higashino's novel "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store" (also known as "The Miracles of the Namiya General Storehouse"). The film follows the story of three young orphans – Shiver (played by Dong Zijian), Tong Tong (played by Chen Duling) and Xiao Bo (played by Karry Wang) – who seek refuge in an abandoned general store.
Once there, they discover a letter written by someone seeking advice, and decide to write back. This leads them on a journey of self-discovery and redemption, as they learn the mysteries surrounding the history of the store, its previous inhabitants, and how everything is connected to their own past.
The film is a poignant and heart-warming exploration of human connection and the power of forgiveness. Along with Karry Wang, Dong Zijian and Chen Duling, the film also stars Jackie Chan, who plays a crucial role in the narrative.
Namiya was released in China in 2017 to critical acclaim, and also did well when it was released in other Asian countries like Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. The film is regarded as one of the best adaptations of Higashino's works, and has touched the hearts of millions of viewers around the world.
