I think Ordinary Heroes is better.
The Return of Wan Li focuses on the behind-the-scenes of China diplomats' evacuation for the first time, with a fresh theme. Diplomats have no guns and knives, but they have gone through thousands of difficulties and survived a narrow escape, bringing their compatriots back to the motherland in the war. Behind this is the strength of China and the courage and wisdom of China diplomats. Zhang Yi, Yin Tao and other actors gave high-level performances, and the audience followed the long road of evacuating overseas Chinese and trudged to Wan Li, seeing the sufferings in the world, and cherishing the peace and happiness they are having.
"Ordinary Hero" is adapted from the true story of "rescuing a boy with a broken arm in Hetian, Xinjiang", and tells the story of a seven-year-old boy who completed emergency treatment by crossing 1,4 kilometers in eight golden hours. With more realistic brushwork, this film vividly depicts the sentient and righteous social groups in China. "Ordinary Hero" is the most direct adaptation of the news event of "saving the brokeback boy in Hetian, Xinjiang". In the whole story adaptation, the director did not do too much dramatic creation, but restored the event itself as much as possible.
His appeal to screenwriter You Xiaoying is that he should not make up for editing, but present a true and meaningful story. Before Chen Guohui actually shot the film, he hesitated whether the news event was enough to support a film. To this end, he interviewed everyone who participated in the incident. He found that the doctor said that it was dangerous to spend more than six hours, and these people were an indispensable part of these six hours.
Compared with the two, I think Ordinary Heroes is more touching. Personally, I think the latter is better.
