Pu Zhiqiang was detained along with several fellow activists on May 6, 2014 after attending a salon on the 1989 student protests at the home of a friend. Actress [http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2014/05/zhang-ziyis-subtle-support-pu-zhiqiang/ Zhang Ziyi subtly supported Pu] by encouraging her Weibo followers to watch "The Attorney," the 2013 dramatization of Roh Moo-hyun's defense of student protesters persecuted by the authoritarian government:
 
<blockquote>''Xitubudui'' (@稀土部队): "The Attorney": A lawyer who pursues democracy, rule of law, and justice fights for the truth and deeply inspires. The story is adapted from the real accomplishments of former South Korean president Roh Moo-hyun. No need to say more here, go see for yourself what it’s about! (May 6, 2015)</blockquote>

<blockquote>《辩护人》一个追求民主、法制、公正为真理而斗争的律师让人肃然起敬。故事改编于韩国前总统卢武铉的真实事迹。在这儿无需再说电影拍得如何了，去看看人家拍的内容吧！ ['''[http://www.weibo.com/1914100420/B33aT6twt Chinese]''']</blockquote>

Roh was later elected president of the newly democratized South Korea in 2003. Roh's life story resonates with Pu Zhiqiang's, and also hints at a happier ending to Pu's tribulations—Pu has remained in custody since May 2014, but was only formally indicted in May 2015. He has also been [http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2015/07/pu-zhiqiang-denied-access-to-lawyers-for-nearly-a-month-wife-says/ denied access to his lawyer] since June 23, 2015.

Zhang Ziyi's post inspired other Weibo users to invoke "The Attorney" as an allegory for Pu Zhiqiang. One particular quotation from the film is treated as [[sensitive porcelain|sensitive]] and at times deleted from social media, as witnessed by this Weibo post removed by Sina:

<blockquote>''DaoyuanqiaoqiaoJOJO'' (@导演乔乔JOJO): The hardest rock is still dead; most fragile egg still holds life. In the end the rock will become dust, but the life in the egg will someday fly over the rock. (April 15, 2015)</blockquote>
