　　(2019·云南师大附中模拟B)It's rare that the main character in a Chinese movie wins the audience's hearts with an emotionally uplifting message，rather than by showing off his or her good looks.But Wolf Warrior Ⅱ is putting China in the global spotlight.It's also the first film to taste success both in terms of box office earnings and promoting Chinese values.

　　Kung fu artist Wu Jing both starred in and directed the action movie.Since its release on July 27,2017，it's earned an unimaginable 4.5 billion yuan，setting a record for domestic movies at the box office.

　　Based on the massive evacuation(撤离)of Chinese people from Libya when the civil war broke out there in 2011，and from Yemen in 2015，as well as from West Africa when the Ebola virus created the challenges from 2013 to 2016，the film links art to reality in which a former Special Forces soldier Leng Feng played by Wu leads Chinese workers and local Africans to flee from a war－torn and plague－ravaged(饱受瘟疫折磨的)country.

　　The film describes how the Chinese government aims to protect overseas Chinese citizens.Just as the message reads when the film comes to an end: "Citizens of the People's Republic of China，when you are faced with danger in a foreign land，do not give up! Please remember，at your back stands a strong motherland."

　　Thanks to China's increasing participation in global affairs，now it could be considered the right moment to introduce a modem Chinese hero.

　　"Holding up a banner(旗帜)of peace，friendship and responsibility，Wolf Warrior Ⅱ should be seen as a brave effort to promote Chinese values around the world，" columnist Zhu Ping wrote，in China Daily.

　　It's time Chinese filmmakers produced films that tell good stories and carry the right spirit.Wolf Warrior Ⅱ is the very film that has started that trend.
