The bodyguards that had just joined were the troop’s only two Primary Saint Masters. With their entry, the pressure on Jian Chen immediately increased by a lot.

The movie the story of Qui Ju depicts the difficult quest of an ordinary provincial woman, who was seeking justice in the little village in China. Despite of the fact that she was pregnant, she persistently and willfully was overcoming all the obstacles on her path. She went from one office to other with a desire of restoring justice. However, she was disappointed again and again: officials were not able to fulfill her demands, even though the only thing she wanted was a mere apology by the village chief, who had severely beaten up her husband, Qinglai. The compensation she was offered with was monetary. However, she did not need money; she wanted an apology, but she could not get it because the chief was so obstinate that he would not apologize.

This all caused a lot of troubles and to her and her family. This paper will try to prove it, scrutinizing his behavior closely following the plot of the movie.

Although the Records of the Grand Historian were compiled through the perspective of Ssuma Ch’ien himself, it was a privately written collection, which simply meant that he was not obligated to only write official history covering only those of high rank.
