"Article 20" is about Han Ming, a prosecutor who came to the city procuratorate to take up a temporary post. In order for his son, who is in high school, to transfer to a city middle school and receive a better education, Han Ming was transferred from the county seat to the city's procuratorate. But as soon as he arrived at the post, he encountered three major events. The delicate construction of the play sets these three clues into three different dilemmas. What was presented to the audience at the beginning was that bad things plagued Han Ming one after another.
First, when the procuratorate encountered obstacles in initiating a lawsuit against a case, the suspect stabbed the victim 26 times, but was suspected of being bullied by the victim for a long time. Second, the son encountered a school bully bullying other classmates at the new school, and helped to injure the other party, and was called to the police by the other party's parents (that is, the school director), once he had a criminal record, the child's future was ruined, how could Han Ming persuade the other party's parents to withdraw the case? Third, the parties to the case in which Han Ming participated in the past were sentenced to three years in prison for causing injuries to the other party because of their righteous and courageous actions, and they have been wanting to go to Beijing to petition after being released from prison, how should Han Ming respond? These three events may seem complicated, but they are actually ingenious. When the story is peeled back and gradually developed into clarity, you will find three things, which are actually more like one thing, and its drama has always revolved around one point: when the righteous and courageous act to hurt someone and let the other party be injured, the law generally sentences the suspect to intentional injury, but this judgment will make the road uneven, and the good people who draw their swords to help are cold. As a prosecutor representing the law, should he be selfless and unforgiving, or should he re-examine all this from the perspective of justice? These three lines are closely connected with Han Ming's life, but in the end, they influence each other and take care of each other at the end, making the whole film silky smooth and dramatic.
