February 19, 2018, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Chongqing is also permeated with the festive and lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
A young policeman hurried to the funeral home and made three deep bows to the body in the coffin.
The people he paid homage to were not his relatives or friends, nor his close friends.
My name is Wang Zemin, and Uncle Yang is my savior. I came here to see him for the last time today.
I will be you when I grow up.
A newspaper witnessed the mission of two generations of policemen.
Wang Zemin, 23, is an ordinary policeman in Chongqing.
One day in the winter of 2017, at 12 o’clock in the middle of the night, he was on duty and suddenly received an alarm call from a man. His child was lost.
After three hours of intense searching, Wang Zemin finally found the figure of a child carrying a yellow schoolbag, and finally let go of his heart after a night’s struggle and breathed a sigh of relief.
On second thought, he thought how familiar the scene was.
Twenty years ago, 3-year-old Wang Zemin was separated from his father in a department store, and he was so scared that he cried.
Two strange men who claimed to be his father tried to take him away. Fortunately, I met Yang Xuefeng, a 21-year-old policeman who just started working. Yang Xuefeng hugged him and searched the whole department store, and finally found his father who was sweating and anxious.
This scene happened to be photographed by reporters passing by and published in Chongqing Evening News the next day.
Coincidentally, 20 years later, Wang Zemin also became a policeman.
He imagined that if we met again, he would give the newspaper of that year to Uncle Yang and tell him that now we are two generations of policemen, and that’s exactly what I said. When I grow up, I will become you.
But he didn’t expect to see this uncle Yang again, and it was already a long time between heaven and man.
Wang Zemin took the newspaper in those days and came to Yang Xuefeng’s Lingqian. He must give Yang Xuefeng a present. Because of uncle Yang Xuefeng’s kindness to him, but also because of a young policeman’s sincere respect for his predecessors.
Yang Xuefeng was an ordinary traffic policeman, who was the deputy head of the Shichuan patrol brigade of the traffic patrol detachment of Yubei Branch of Chongqing Public Security Bureau.
On the third day of February 18th, 2018, Yang Xuefeng, who was responsible for Spring Festival travel rush security, was attacked by a mob with a knife.
In order to prevent more bloody casualties, Yang Xuefeng, who was stabbed several times, grabbed the gangster desperately and tried his best to knock out the knife in his hand.
The gangster was subdued, but Yang Xuefeng was stabbed in the carotid artery and stabbed several times in the abdomen, and died heroically because of excessive blood loss.
If it weren’t for Yang Xuefeng’s fate to subdue gangsters, he might still be one of the most common traffic policemen on the streets of Chongqing.
Every day, when people follow his gesture to guide through the traffic, they don’t know his name or remember his face. His face is integrated into the group image of thousands of public security policemen.
However, many people will always remember his name.
The "warm police" in the mouth of ordinary people
The rule of law is supreme, human feelings are more human.
Villager Tang Xingkui is a volunteer of popularizing law. It is hot in summer in Chongqing, and many people who ride motorcycles to work in the village don’t love helmets. Tang Xingkui saw who didn’t wear it on the road and went forward to correct them.
There was a young man named Li who blamed Tang Xingkui for meddling and being prude, which made Tang Xingkui angry. However, he unexpectedly thought of Yang Xuefeng. "When I think of officer Yang, if he encounters this thing, he will definitely not get angry at all. After that, Tang Xingkui still encountered a correction once. After several times, I finally got rid of the young man’s habit of not loving helmets.
But in fact, Tang Xingkui himself was given a ticket.
In October, 2017, he drove out on business, and was stopped by Yang Xuefeng, a traffic policeman who was in the jurisdiction for routine inspection, because his car had not been inspected for seven years. When he heard that he was going to be punished, Tang Xingkui was emotional and shouted that he was in a hurry to do things, and he had to pay a fine and punish him quickly.
Yang Xuefeng didn’t get angry. He patiently informed Tang Xingkui of the consequences of failing to conduct annual inspection of vehicles, gave him a warning and punishment according to regulations, and left his phone number. As soon as Tang Xingkui heard that he didn’t have to be fined, he drove away with luck. Unexpectedly, three days later, Tang Xingkui received a strange phone call. "I was the traffic police that day. Did you go to the annual inspection?" Tang Xingkui was moved by the policeman’s concern, and after that, he also gave birth to extra gratitude to the traffic police.
From then on, every time I met Yang Xuefeng on the road, he would roll down the window to say hello.
Soon after, he volunteered to become a volunteer for popularizing the law. Whenever he saw the villagers breaking the rules, he hurried to persuade them. Sometimes when the villagers have a bad attitude, he thinks about the attitude of police officer Yang in law enforcement and is calm.
Now, whenever he passes the intersection of Shichuan Town, he always looks out unconsciously, recalling the appearance of Yang Xuefeng standing guard on duty there.
"Stand up, stand up and throw caution to the wind"
When my colleague Huang Changfu took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Yang Xuefeng, he remembered that he was gone.
For Huang Changfu, Yang Xuefeng is the kind of person who can "stand up, stand up and get out" in times of crisis.
He clearly remembers that at noon in the summer of 2017, he and Yang Xuefeng had just returned to the brigade after handling a traffic accident, and they had not had a sip of water. Suddenly, they heard someone shouting that there was a fire outside, and a taxi spontaneously ignited.
Hearing this, the Yang Xuefeng turned and rushed out, grabbed the fire extinguisher in the corridor and ran out. As he ran, he shouted, "Brothers, hurry up".
At this time, the taxi is filled with black smoke, which has ignited an open flame and may explode at any time. Huang Changfu couldn’t help shouting: "Yang Xuefeng, danger!" But Yang Xuefeng turned a deaf ear, and rushed to the front end to get a fire extinguisher and sprayed it hard at the flame.
After more than twenty minutes, the fire was put out, and Yang Xuefeng’s hair was burnt, and his face and hands were covered with blisters.
Huang Changfu squeezed a few handfuls of sweat for him, but Yang Xuefeng said, "Time is so urgent, where can I want so much? What if there are people in the car?"
Stick to the front line for 21 years
Stand as the most familiar figure of passers-by
Yang Xuefeng’s mother still remembers that 21 years ago, when Yang Xuefeng graduated from the police academy, she stubbornly chose to work in the front line. His mother was almost crying, but Yang Xuefeng refused to change her wish.
His father is a soldier, and he has been exposed since he was a child. Yang Xuefeng also has a police dream.
In 1997, he graduated from Yang Xuefeng University. Since then, he has worked as a traffic policeman for 21 years. Ten years of them were on duty on the road. Yang Xuefeng has changed jobs six times, from Chongqing’s congested downtown to muddy villages and towns. The Stone Boat Patrol Brigade, where he was in his lifetime, is one of the most remote units in Yubei Branch, with an area of 324 square kilometers. Each policeman is responsible for nearly 120 kilometers of traffic management tasks every day. The working environment is more and more difficult, and the work difficulty he faces is constantly encountering new challenges. Faced with the hard work that ordinary people can’t imagine, Yang Xuefeng never complained, always took root in the front line, and devoted himself to keeping the people safe.
The street vendor said, I don’t know his name, but I am familiar with him. I can see him there at six or seven o’clock every morning.
His mother once secretly went to see her son standing guard. In the hot summer in Chongqing, she saw her son standing in the middle of the road sweating, and her heart ached.
She bought a bottle of water, asked a passer-by to deliver it to her son, and then left quietly.
After Xuefeng’s death, she arranged her son’s belongings and found a piece of paper by accident. She picked it up and suddenly remembered that it was a poem from Yang Xuefeng’s favorite blue bloods.
At that time, he asked his mother to copy it word by word.
And this poem already contains the son’s lifelong ambition.
Maybe one day.
When happy people look back on the years in Cang Sang.
The rings of the Republic’s growth
I have already drowned your tired face.
Sweat, blood, tears and even sacrifice
All the memories about you
Are dissipated in the passage of time.
Even on the monument engraved with glory
And I didn’t leave a word about you
You just went?
As if disappearing at the end of the time tunnel
Silent and forever.
And I, only I, deeply understand.
That used to shine on your glory.
Still the same as the day
That once remembered your ideal.
Still surging in my veins
You are the flag that I will never fail.
I am your endless expectation.
You know, and I know.
Our common name is loyalty.
Loyalty is our eternal blood.
— — Our common name
Say goodbye and send the hero on a long journey!
