The two-ribbon flare of May 13, 1981 is one of the most notable flares during solar cycle 21. There are rich observational data of this flare. We study carefully the characteristics about the evolution and motion of the filament related with the flare as well as the relationship between these characteristics and the development of the flare. The results indicate that the increase of the filament current plays an important role in the occurrence and development of the flare.
