The Menon-Sury's identity is as follows: \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{1\leq a, b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_r \leq n\\\mathrm{gcd}(a,n)=1}}\mathrm{gcd}(a-1,b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_r,n)=\varphi(n) \sigma_r(n),\end{equation*} where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function and$\sigma_r(n)=\sum_{d\mid n}{d^r}$. Recently, Li, Hu and Kim \cite{L-K} extendedthe above identity to a multi-variable case with a Dirichlet character, thatis, they proved  \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{a\in\Bbb Z_n^\ast \\ b_1, \ldots,b_r\in\Bbb Z_n}} \mathrm{gcd}(a-1,b_1, b_2, \ldots,b_r,n)\chi(a)=\varphi(n)\sigma_r{\left(\frac{n}{d}\right)}, \end{equation*}where $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character modulo $n$ and $d$ is the conductor of$\chi$.  In this paper, we explicitly compute the sum\begin{equation*}\sum_{\substack{a_1, \ldots, a_s\in\Bbb Z_n^\ast \\ b_1, ...,b_r\in\Bbb Z_n}}\gcd(a_1-1, \ldots, a_s-1,b_1, \ldots, b_r, n)\chi_{1}(a_1)\cdots \chi_{s}(a_s).\end{equation*} where $\chi_{i} (1\leq i\leq s)$ areDirichlet characters mod $n$ with conductor $d_i$. A special but common case ofour main result reads like this : \begin{equation*}\sum_{\substack{a_1, \ldots,a_s\in\Bbb Z_n^\ast \\ b_1, ..., b_r\in\Bbb Z_n}}\gcd(a_1-1, \ldots, a_s-1,b_1,\ldots, b_r, n)\chi_{1}(a_1) \cdots\chi_{s}(a_s)=\varphi(n)\sigma_{s+r-1}\left(\frac{n}{d}\right)\end{equation*}if $d$ and $n$ have exactly the same prime factors, where $d={\rmlcm}(d_1,\ldots,d_s)$ is the least common multiple of $d_1,\ldots,d_s$. Ourresult generalizes the above Menon-Sury's identity and Li-Hu-Kim's identity.
