What happens

After the Final Battle (originaltittel: Jue zhan zhi hou) er et kinesisk historisk krigsdrama fra 1989 regissert av Li Qian-Kuan og Xiao Gui-Yun. Filmens handling er lagt til sluttfasen av den kinesiske borgerkrig. Rollen som Mao Zedong spilles av Gu Yue. Filmens fremstilling av de historiske forholdene regnes for å ligge nær opp til det som var det offisielle kinesisk synet på den tiden filmen ble produsert. Den ble kåret til beste film, både ved Gullhanen og Hundred Flowers Awards (her delt med Black Snow og The Kunlun Column). En tilsvarende film som ble lansert samme år var The Birth of New China.
