On a cool autumn night, and on the crowded red carpet, hundreds of superhero fans were screaming for selfies and autographs from their heroes, including Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot ("Wonder Woman"), Henry Cavill, Ezra Miller ("The Flash"), Jason Momoa ("Aquaman"), Ray Fisher ("Cyborg") and producer Charles Roven.
However, there was an unexpected presence, a little woman with a sad story, who fought to break into the human wall and get to the front. She just wanted autographs for her late son, who had made a drawing of the "Justice League."
Besides the drawing, there was card written with an English explanation, saying: "This picture was drawn by my son for the movie. He wanted (sic) Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill could sign it. This is (sic) his last wish. There was an accident and he passed away. During his lifetime he loved and looked forward to this movie. He loved your performance very much. He'll be thrilled if you do so [this for him]."
The mother soon earned sympathy, and one fan in the front row helped her by taking the drawing to a place where the superhero actors could see it when they walked by.
One fan posted the photo of drawing and the story behind it online crying for help, and the microblog post soon earned thousands of views and retweets.
The official Weibo microblog account of "DCFilms," a film branch of DC Comics, also retweeted the post and asking anyone who knew the contact information of the mother to contact its staff.
