A Little Red Flower (Chinese: 送你一朵小红花) is a 2020 Chinese drama film directed by Han Yan from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jinliang Han, Han Li, Jia Jia Wei, and Yu Yonggan. It stars Jackson Yee as Wei Yihang, a teenager who has been in remission following a brain tumor operation years prior, and Liu Haocun as a fellow patient named Ma Xiaoyuan.
The idea for the film was conceived when Yan was working on Go Away Mr. Tumor (2015), a film about cancer patient and comic book artist Xiong Dun. A Little Red Flower premiered on December 31, 2020, and grossed $216 million, setting multiple box-office records in China and becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 2020. The film sparked controversy over its similar plot to the American film The Fault in Our Stars (2014). Unveiled documents revealed that a canceled Chinese remake of the American film had been in development and that A Little Red Flower could have potentially derived from it with no connections or credit to the original source. However, Yan has said that parts of the film were actually inspired by real-life events that he witnessed himself.
