What did Sun say at the end of the movie?

Throughout the film, Sun Li's Xiao Ai has always been an assistant and bystander of all the plots.

The first possibility is that Shadow succeeded, but Tian Zhan (Wang Qianyuan), who knows the secret of Shadow, did not expose him. I believe this is what most readers want to see. After all, the shadow is really pitiful.

The second possibility is that she saw the chaos outside, and another Pei Liang appeared! This is not impossible. Governor Guo Pei can have a shadow. As the king of a country, Pei Liang can't have it.

Maybe Pei Liang has discovered Yu Zi's plot, maybe he also thinks that ordinary killers can't kill him, so he also enabled the shadow, and it is his shadow that killed Pei Liang. His real body has been lurking outside the palace for a long time. When the state affairs came out of the temple, he won it in the name of regicide and regained power.

Extended data:

Shadow is a Zen martial art that explores personal consciousness. The shadow is moist, as if growing in water, with a strong sense of Jiangnan water town. The narrative technique of the film is simple and clear, but it also has relatively profound ethical expression.

The narrative of the story has both the genes of oriental drama and the methods of western drama. The first half and the second half are quiet and moving, and the quieter the front, the more intense the back. The hazy beauty created by Zhang Yimou's pictures frames the whole story in the gray scale of shadows, forming an obviously empty but very narrow closed space.
