Ann Hui's 'Boat People' is about Vietnamese refugees. She had made 3 films (the Vietnam trilogy) altogether on that subject: 'Lai Ke' or 'Boy from Vietnam', which was a Radio Television HK programme in the late 1970s; 'The Story of Woo Viet' in 1981; 'Boat People' 1982.
In terms of later films, you may be thinking of 'Song of the Exile', 1990, that was semi-autobiographical or 'My American Grandson', mid-1990s, depicting a young Chinese American boy visiting his mainland grandfather.
