In Shepard, Michigan, in Weitling's cemetery, Zhang Chunru stood quietly in front of Weitling's tombstone with a shallow smile on her face. On Weitling's tombstone, four Chinese characters "Jinling Eternal Life" are neatly written in Chinese characters. Zhang Chunru stood facing the sun, the bright sunlight sprinkled on her face, and the whole person was dyed golden by the sun, as if an angel had descended.

At the Yale Library, a staff member picks up an archive bag and places it on a shelf. The camera cuts to the bookshelf, and the file bag indicates that this is the manuscript of "Nanjing Massacre" written by Zhang Chunru. In the medium shot, alongside Zhang Chunru's manuscript are "Weitling's Diary" and "Rabe's Diary". In a large panoramic view, a large and bright room, rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged like dominoes, and on them are a vast sea of historical materials.

The reporters and the audience at the scene understood the meaning of this shot, and while Zhang Chunru defended the truth of history, she also became a part of history. Li An, Jia Zhangke, and many Chinese reporters all remembered that Zhang Ran always said that the highest pursuit of Chinese is to leave a name in history, and Zhang Chunru undoubtedly did it!

This is the end of the movie, and in the faint sound of music, Zhang Chunru's real photos appear on the big screen, and at the same time, their later introductions appear on the screen.

Zhang Chunru: On April 28, 2003, Zhang Chunru published her third book, A History of Chinese Americans, and on November 9, 2004, she committed suicide with a handgun in her car in Gailos, California.

Johann Rabe: Rabe died in Berlin in 1950, and the diary material is kept by his grandson. In 1997, Rabe's tombstone was moved from Berlin to Nanjing.

Minnie Weitling: Suicide on May 14, 1941. In 1999, the Nanjing Holocaust Research Center proposed to erect a statue of Weitling on campus. On December 12, 2002, Weitling's statue was placed in the greenery in front of the former Jinling Women's College.

Cheng Ruifang: retired from Jinnuda in 1940, testified for the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in 1946, and died in Wuhan in 1969. In 2001, the "Diary of Cheng Ruifang" was discovered, which was the first diary by Chinese to record the atrocities of the Japanese invasion of China in Nanjing.

John Magee: John Magee returned to the United States in 1940. In 1946, Magee went to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East to testify about the Nanjing Massacre, died at home in 1953, and in 1993 part of John Magee's documentary was discovered.

George Feige: Returned to the United States in 1938 and gave several lectures on the Nanjing Massacre. After December 1945, he served as Deputy Regional Director of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. In 1946 he attended the trial of war criminals at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. He died at home in California in 1979.

Robert Wilson: Left Nanjing in 1940 and joined the U.S. Army as a medic in the war against Japan. In 1946, at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo, Wilson was the first to testify. Standing on the witness stand with him were also survivors he had personally treated, Liang Tingfang and Wu Changde......

Immediately afterward, documentary footage of John Magee, Robert Wilson and others testifying about the Nanjing Massacre at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East appeared on the big screen.

These real images once again hit the hearts of the audience, telling people that what happens in the film is not a story, but a blood-drenched and heart-wrenching real history. Many viewers had difficulty controlling their emotions and tears rolled out again.

Scorsese felt a little emotional, Zhang Ran deserves to be Zhang Ran, this movie is a biopic, but it is not an ordinary biopic. Generally, directors make biopics, often describing the lives of the characters and telling about the growth of the characters, but "Angel of Justice" is not only like this, the movie uses the experience of Zhang Chunru and the three of them to cover up and maintain the historical truth. The whole movie is actually a contest that spans 60 years of time and space to cover up and maintain the truth of the Nanjing Massacre. Zhang Ran's filming of this movie is actually to guide everyone to think about a question, what is true and what is false? In this era of information explosion and the proliferation of all kinds of false information, thinking about this question has very strong practical significance!

Ang Lee thinks that the attitude of the three protagonists towards the truth in the whole movie is the most interesting. She didn't think much about the truth, but the diary she wrote became ironclad evidence against the atrocities of the Japanese army; Rabe took the initiative to defend history and the truth, not only participated in the action of sending John Magee's film out of Nanjing, but also sorted out her diary as evidence of the Japanese army's crimes; Zhang Chunru was the most active of the three, and the Nanjing Massacre itself had nothing to do with her, she took the initiative to enter this period of history and began to campaign for this history that was forgotten in the West. Although they differed in attitudes, they jointly upheld the dignity of this period of history.

Jia Zhangke always thought that the Angel of Justice referred to Zhang Chunru, but after watching the movie, he realized that the Angel of Justice is not only Zhang Chunru, not only Weitling and Rabe, Cheng Ruifang, Han Xianglin, John Magee, George Feige, and Shao Ziping, who have defended fairness and justice and defended the truth of history, are all angels of justice, and even Zhang Ran himself is one of the Angels of Justice!

After the video of John Magee and others testifying at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, the subtitles began to flash across the big screen, but the scene was still silent, and the audience was lost in thought and sentimentality. The melodious piano sound is thoughtful, like the sunshine on a spring afternoon, with warmth and soothing the hearts of the audience.

Scorsese was the first to stand up, clapping his hands together, and the crisp applause looked a little lonely in the empty screening room; then Ang Lee and Jia Zhangke stood up and clapped their hands; then the Chinese and Chinese reporters at the scene stood up and clapped their hands vigorously; and finally the audience stood up collectively and clapped their hands excitedly.

A storm of applause swept through the audience, making the entire movie theater tremble slightly, as if there had been an earthquake. This applause is dedicated to the director, to the actors, to this wonderful film, and to Zhang Chunru and Weitling, the angels of justice!

Zhang Ran turned his head to look, the crew members were all wiping their tears, Zhang Jingchu and Amy Adams were even more red from crying; Zhang Ran looked at the other side, Zhang Chunru's parents, and the two old men were also in tears. Zhang Ran gave Zhang Jingchu a hug, patted her on the back, hugged Amy Adams and Turck to celebrate, and then walked up to Zhang Chunru's parents and hugged the two old men respectively.

Zhang Yingying wiped her tears and said to Zhang Ran excitedly: "Zhang Ran, "Angel of Justice" is a world-class work, which is deeper and more moving than "Schindler's List"! It will let more people understand that period of history. Chunru's last wish has been fulfilled! Thank you! Thank you very much!"

Scorsese and Ang Lee, a few of Zhang Ran's old friends, soon rushed over, and they surrounded Zhang Ran in the middle and congratulated Zhang Ran excitedly. Scorsese gave Zhang Ran a hug and said with a smile: "Well done! I knew you wouldn't make an ordinary biopic! You would definitely make something different, and I guessed right! This movie is a real artist's remembrance and reflection on history!"

Jia Zhangke said helplessly: "It's always a lot of pressure to watch your guy's movies, and I am desperate every time I watch it, and I can't make a movie like this." But I'm glad to see this movie, the Jews have made a lot of masterpieces about the ** massacre, and it has a great impact in the world, and now we finally have one. ”

Li An patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder and said excitedly: "It is difficult to make a movie with the theme of the Nanjing Massacre, because it is difficult for any Chinese to remain calm on this subject, but the whole movie of "Angel of Justice" is forbearant and restrained, recording everything with a sober and side-watching attitude, which is not easy. It looks like this year's Angel of Justice is going to sweep the entire awards season!"

Zhang Ran was not so optimistic, he knew that the right-wing forces in Dongying would try their best to discredit the real movie, so he chuckled and shook his head: "How can it be so easy, the battle has just begun!

Zhang Ran didn't talk as much as Scorsese, he and Zhang Jingchu walked to the screen and bowed to the audience to express their gratitude;

The press conference of "Angel of Justice" will be held tomorrow morning, and after the film screening, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu will leave the theater and return to the hotel. At this time, the topic of "Angel of Justice" has quickly climbed to the top of the Fly hot search list, and the audience who watched the premiere of the movie is sharing their viewing feelings, and countless Zhang Ran fans and fans are talking about this movie.

The famous Chinese-American writer Tan Enmei wrote on Fly: "Tonight I met Zhang Ran, my favorite film director. His new film is fantastic, heartbreaking, and profound! Zhang Jingchu, Amy Adams, and Rabe's actors, they all put on epic performances!"

Anna Wintour wrote on Fly: "The movie is very long, but when I watched it, it didn't feel long, and it felt like it was over quickly. The whole movie is full of emotion and touching, Zhang Jingchu dedicated his professional-level performance, I like her so much, "Vogue" has booked her to shoot the cover of next year's January issue. I don't want to give too many details about the movie, but let's just say this: I cried a few times, but luckily I brought tissues!"

Fan Erickson left a message on IMDB's "Angel of Justice" page: "The movie is three and a half hours, but it is a very exciting three and a half hours, and there is no sense of drag. The background of the story is the Nanjing Massacre, and in the face of this tragic and desperate historical theme, director Zhang Ran cuts in from a special perspective to show us kindness, hope, sacrifice and humanity. Although I have watched a lot of Holocaust-themed movies before, this one is different. The performance of each actor in the movie is so good, the same level, and every actor is a stellar performance. I believe that the audience will really be moved by this movie, which is really a 'heart': the people of Dongying need to apologize to all those who died in the Nanjing Massacre!"

"Without a doubt, 'Angel of Justice' is the best movie of 2016, and like 'The Aviator' and 'One Man's Lights,' it's the best film directed by Zhang Ran," said fan Hotel California. This film is a tragedy, and at the same time it fully embodies the beauty and darkness of human nature in war. After reading it, my mood was both moved and heavy. Amy Adams is so good that she's going to be an Oscar favorite!"

Zhang Jingchu was very excited by the praise of fans, and the New York audience's evaluation of the movie was so high, which meant that the movie should perform well in Britain and the United States, but Zhang Jingchu couldn't laugh the next morning, and the media gave a very polarized evaluation. Zhang Jingchu knew that just like Zhang Ran said, the real battle was about to begin!
