Yang Hongqi is a middle aged man of the old school. He says that on a rainy night he saved a university student. She was about to be attacked on the outskirts of Nanjing. Yang wants the story printed in the paper. He goes to Gu Guoge, the best known reporter in the city. What he asks for is a piece praising him. Gu ignores the odd request at first. Yang will not let it go. In the end Gu sets about verifying the story. He finds the young woman but no witness. Why Yang is pushing so hard comes out later. His father spent his life being held up as a model worker. His wall at home is covered in medals and commendations. Before he dies he wants his son’s name up there too. Chen Hao and Fan Wei appear in the ninety five minute film, a Chinese production Huang Jianxin finished in 2005.
