That Song Youshuo's old classmate used to deny that he was a lawyer who was a monk halfway through. He only knew how to make money and blamed college students who had suffered injustice.

Then the old classmates saw firsthand how lawyer Song used the law at an interrogation site. With a sense of justice and brilliant speeches, he protected the students' power and prevented the trial from becoming corrupt and authoritarian.

Guessed how various directors would arrange for the reporter’s old classmates to express his change in attitude towards Lawyer Song. Is it a handshake, a bow and an apology, or a look?

neither.

As the defender of the "red elements", lawyer Song was protested in front of the court by his colleagues, throwing eggs on his clothes. The reporter's old classmate encountered Lawyer Song cleaning clothes in the toilet. The previous contempt has long disappeared, and Song Youshuo is not only his old classmate, but also an alliance, for the future of the country, college students, and a fighter at the forefront of the charge. In the next second, he will step into the battlefield again, but the suit soiled by eggs will definitely be ridiculed by the opposing lawyer, or even regarded as disrespectful behavior by the judge.

There is no such thing as "I'm sorry I blamed you before", "You did a good job, and I am very grateful for your contribution to the country". Only simple, straightforward, "Take off the shirt too, kid".

This is the purest and least pretentious moment between men.

This is what impressed me the most about the whole movie.
