"The streets are full of people early in the morning There were so many people there, it was like a flood, which I had never seen before. I simply closed the store and queued up to see the director," she said.

For three consecutive days from April 15th to 17th, more than 100,000 people spontaneously went to the hospital every day to express their condolences to this 40-year-old woman who was 1.57 meters tall. At the peak, the number reached nearly 200,000. The total population of the closed city is less than 630,000.

From early in the morning until two or three o'clock in the morning the next day, the condolence team passed Ren Changxia's coffin at a speed of about 50 people per minute. Many people came out of the mourning hall and queued at the end of the line in order to get a better look at her.

Shaolin Road, the main road in Dengfeng City where the mourning hall is located, is 4 kilometers long and 60 meters wide. During those three days, the whole street was crowded with people, and black curtains were piled on top of each other.

Dengfeng City and even Henan Province have not seen such a scene for many years.

The short life of Ren Changxia, director of the Public Security Bureau of Dengfeng City, Zhengzhou, has almost all the necessary elements for an "iron-blooded legend".

“The female police officer”, “the female father-in-law”, “Ren Qingtian”, Ren Changxia’s thrilling and clever plots to fight against crime and solve crimes are endlessly circulated, and any Dengfeng citizen can tell several of them. .

On the night of April 14, Ren Changxia, who returned to Dengfeng after going to Zhengzhou to report the case, died in a car accident on the highway.

What made Ren Changxia run around anxiously was the "1.30" case for which there had been very few clues for more than two months - the murder of a 6-year-old girl. Colleagues said that Ren Changxia, who was known for her speed in solving crimes, felt so stressed that on the day of the accident, she did not even bother to eat dinner in order to report the case to the Zhengzhou Municipal Bureau.

Sister Ren Lijuan said that she rushed to the hospital on the night of the car accident and saw her sister's lips were slightly open and her eyes were wide open. Ren Changxia's husband, Wei Chunxiao, told Oriental Outlook Weekly that she did not close her eyes for three days until she was cremated.

As a national "May 1st" Labor Medal winner and the fourth China's Top Ten Female Outstanding Women, Ren Changxia, who appeared on CCTV's "Son of the East" program seven months before her death, hardly smiled. Everything is so consistent with the usual imagination of a strong-armed heroine.

However, in Ren Changxia's private photo album, the reporter from "Oriental Outlook Weekly" saw the girl from the police academy with short hair and eyebrows and a silly smile, and the girl wearing a bright red shawl and leaning against her husband. The woman, the young woman holding her young son and looking back with a smile, is so ordinary.

The common people want to build a bronze statue in her honor

A reporter from "Oriental Outlook Weekly" watched a video of citizens expressing condolences to Ren Changxia: the orphans she rescued wore heavy mourning; Miao Fengying, an old petitioner in her 70s, kept vigil for her for three days; an old man cried in front of the steps of the mourning hall: "Director Ren is gone, what's wrong with this!"

Dengfeng The Municipal Public Security Bureau is opposite the People's Hospital. Before Ren Changxia's subordinates could feel sad, they shouted hoarsely to maintain order at the funeral.

Deputy Director Yue Jianguo of the Public Security Bureau is Ren Changxia’s classmate at the police academy. He said that they will have to clean the crystal coffin in a while because there are so many people paying condolences that the dust kicked up will be covered quickly. layer. At the entrance of the mourning hall, a ceremonial table was set up according to local funeral rituals, and the curtains, flower baskets, and wreaths sent by people were registered. Yue Jianguo said that people sent more and more condolence money, many of them did not leave their names at all, and the legs of the ceremony table were broken by the crowd.

A local TV reporter followed and filmed the entire funeral process. He said that on the 17th, when the hearse drove to the funeral home for cremation, the crowd of farewells almost made it difficult for the hearse to move forward. "Changxia, have a good trip!" "Good girl, walk slowly!" There was a loud cry. Until the hearse left the city, some people were following behind on tractors and motorcycles.

More than a month after the funeral, a reporter from "Oriental Outlook Weekly" came to the People's Hospital. The bulletin board at the entrance and the bus stop sign nearby were posted with poems written by people in memory of Ren Changxia. The text can be handwritten with pencil or typed. On top of those broken and faded poems, brand new ones were covered.

There are seven or eight eulogies signed by "Qin Haibin, a member of the Communist Party of China". One of the poems titled "Same as an Official" reads: "Changxia is an upright official and requires strict self-discipline; Changxia is affectionate to the people and is praised by the people; Changxia is an upright official, with a breeze on her sleeves; ... ..Praise from the public does not count for good or bad.”

Citizen Li Jingyuan told Oriental Outlook Weekly that everyone wanted to build a memorial hall for the police chief who had been with them for three years. A bronze statue.

He said that the bronze statue was erected to prevent future generations from forgetting Ren Changxia, and also to serve as a wake-up call to some officials. "Director Ren has taught us what a good official is. If an official does not make decisions for the people, we will kick him out.

”

A hero among women

The ancient city of Dengfeng is located at the junction of Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Pingdingshan. It is famous for Songshan Mountain and Shaolin Temple.

The floating population here exceeds Millions, once the underworld was rampant, it was the hardest hit area for vicious crimes in Henan. There were many cases and complaints from the people. The Municipal Public Security Bureau ranked last in the conduct evaluation of more than 30 functional departments in the city for many years.

Dengfeng. , is also known as a city where residents are "violent and good at litigating".

Being appointed as the director of Dengfeng City Public Security Bureau in April 2001 was the biggest test in Ren Changxia's police career. She was 37 years old.

At that time, colleagues all doubted that a young woman with little resources could "manage" this complicated city. However, just over half a month later? By that time, the title "Ren Qingtian" had begun to appear in the mouths of some citizens.

On May 27, a reporter from "Oriental Outlook Weekly" saw Ren Changxia in front of the Dengfeng Municipal Public Security Bureau. A dozen ordinary people gathered in front of the display board with their deeds. "We have seen Director Ren," Zhang Qiu'e, a villager who came from Shidao Township 20 miles away, told reporters, "We caught the Machete Gang the year before last and held a public trial. We saw it at the meeting. After seeing her, everyone said, isn't this the rabbit fur dealer who kept coming to the village a few days ago? ”

What Zhang Qiu’e is talking about is a disguised undercover investigation that Ren Changxia is much talked about: in order to collect evidence of the “Machete Gang” composed of more than 30 people who engage in forced buying, selling, and extortion, the female police chief dressed up as a police officer. The country woman who collects rabbit hair went to investigate.

Not only did she break up the "Machete Gang", she also received a report letter filled with bloody fingerprints, which led to the murder of people in Baisha Lake and their rampage in the countryside. Wang Song came into Ren Changxia's sight. Wang Song's gang, which had killed seven people and injured more than a hundred people, had a complicated background and a dense network of connections.

A reporter who followed Wang Song's case at the time told "Looking East." Weekly", in those days, Ren Changxia seemed very "mysterious". Her car was seen coming in and out of the Public Security Bureau compound, and the lights in the office were on until midnight.

Despite the "oral literature" and "oral literature" of the citizens. The records are slightly different, but the generally accepted fact is that Ren Changxia arrested Wang Song when he walked into her office with a huge sum of money to lobby, and none of Wang Song's 67 minions were caught - it was like something out of a TV series. Plot. This case was included in the top ten gang-related cases in China.

In December 1998, a gang leader wanted to pay homage to his dead associates at the Mangshan Cemetery in Zhengzhou. At 3 o'clock in the morning, they rushed to lurk and arrest, but the two main leaders slipped through the net.

The gang leader knew that he would not be able to escape if he was targeted by Ren Changxia, so he kidnapped Ren Changxia's husband's brother, put him in a sack and threw him away. When he went to the Yellow River, he deliberately let Ren Changxia see him in order to intimidate him, and said: "If we can open up the net, it will cost 200,000 or 300,000."

My mother persuaded me not to do it. The police job is hard, tiring, and dangerous. Ren Changxia said: "If you are afraid of me, I will not work as a police officer." "

In a corner of the Dengfeng Municipal Public Security Bureau, there is a stone tablet more than two meters high. It was sent by two families of villagers in Guoling Village. Their two daughters were killed in 1990 The case of rape and murder remained unsolved for more than 10 years. Ren Changxia got clues from an old petitioner and caught the murderer for the wronged girl.

The villagers originally wanted to plant this finely carved stone tablet. Ren Changxia stopped her in the city center square.

There are still many mirror plaques with the words "Heroine" and "Contemporary Heroine, Law Enforcement Like a Mountain" in the Dengfeng Municipal Public Security Bureau building. . A veteran police officer said that not long ago, the Ministry of Public Security implemented the "Five Prohibitions", and Ren Changxia asked each police station to use a plaque to post the "Five Prohibitions", but they couldn't use it.

Ren Changxia arrived. After taking office, the scale of the public security bureau's reception department was expanded, and every Saturday was designated as the director's reception day.

Ren Changxia received 224 people on his first reception day, from morning to 11 o'clock at night. She only ate a few sesame cakes throughout the day. Figures provided by Song Hairen, chief of the Control and Application Section, showed that in 2001, the section received 3,683 visits, and in 2002, the number dropped to 1,113.

In fact, Ren Changxia alone cannot solve all the long-standing problems in Dengfeng.

However, public security has become one of the most troublesome problems for the Chinese people, and the image of the police has become serious. At a time when the party's style can improve, the emergence of Ren Changxia once again gave the people hope.

But is it enough to fire unqualified police officers as soon as they take office? Member

Ren Changxia started working as a police officer after graduating from the police academy in 1983, and has served as a pre-trial officer, deputy chief of the pre-trial section and other grassroots positions.

He currently serves as the director of the Dengfeng Municipal Public Security Bureau. Previously, she served as the deputy director of the Legal Affairs Office of the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, as well as the captain of the technical investigation detachment and the deputy leader of the anti-crime team, which managed 60 to 70 people.

Li Minqing, director of the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, who promoted Ren Changxia, said. , she admired Ren Changxia's "unwillingness to admit defeat" the most. In his impression, this female subordinate rarely cried and never wanted to pass the official position. Her strong competitive spirit of "fighting for every opportunity and winning every championship" sometimes even made her jealous. Seems a bit "over the top"

"This woman is incredible.

"Colleagues said so.

After taking office as the director of public security, Ren Changxia managed thousands of police officers.

Veteran policeman Zhang Guoqiang was deeply impressed. It was the first time he saw It was around 1 o'clock in the night. The Yingyang Police Station where he worked was located in the far west of Dengfeng, more than 40 kilometers away from the city. It was already early in the morning when Ren Changxia, who had just taken office, visited him. , the Yingyang Police Station, whose house was dilapidated and leaking, quickly built a new office and equipped it with a van. Now the police station is about to add a third vehicle.

On the first day after taking office, Ren Changxia was fired. 3 unqualified security guards, and then dismissed 15 police officers who violated disciplines.

After taking office, Ren Changxia spent a week visiting the police stations in 17 districts, townships, and towns in Dengfeng City to talk to the police and to the people. She went home to understand the actual difficulties and distributed 15,000 consultation forms throughout the city.

She also openly recruited police station directors through written examinations and interviews, and carried out drastic rectification and reform of the city. Half of the current eight deputy directors of the bureau were promoted from grassroots police stations.

Soon, the Dengfeng Municipal Public Security Bureau rose from the bottom in the work style evaluation to the top 5.

Yang Yuzhang, deputy director of the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, said: "Ren Changxia is definitely an outstanding police officer. "

He said that she has such a characteristic: she gets excited when she encounters major cases. The more difficult the case, the more interesting she becomes. Recalling a major case she solved, Ren Changxia was so happy that she did somersaults on the river embankment.

From the perspective of her husband Wei Chunxiao, Ren Changxia has changed amazingly in the past five years. Ren Changxia, who was once nicknamed "Kitten" by her husband, also started to complain because her voice sounded "like a mosquito" when interrogating criminal suspects. She blushes, likes to attend concerts and dress up; from an ordinary police officer to a public security chief, she has become a "strong woman" with cold eyes and homelessness all year round.

Wei Chunxiao said that once he I accidentally saw my wife’s back and found that she was already a little hunched over, and I suddenly felt sad. “She felt that it was not enough even if she worked 24 hours a day. ”

Citizens all know Ren Changxia’s phone number

In Dengfeng, Ren Changxia’s office phone number and mobile phone number are public, and almost all citizens know it. There is some controversy about this, but People still talk about it.

Citizen Guo Kedao called Ren Changxia's cell phone two years ago to provide clues about the machete gang. "Director Ren said at that time, come here. It's so refreshing. "

Guo Kedao remembered that when they arrived at the director's office, Ren Changxia listened to what he said and started making phone calls to arrange to solve the case. "It was extremely efficient."

Liu Kai, deputy director of the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau , is Ren Changxia’s old superior. He said that whenever he calls Ren Changxia, even in the early hours of the morning, she will usually answer the phone after one ring.

For her husband Wei Chunxiao, But it was a memory full of pain. Before Ren Changxia's death, they had not seen each other for more than a month. This had been a common thing for Wei Chunxiao for three years. Three days before Ren Changxia's death, Wei Chunxiao called his wife to discuss family matters. Before she could speak, the other party just said "I'm in a meeting, busy" and hung up. These were the last words Ren Changxia left for her husband.

Wei Chunxiao, a lawyer, said that they got married more than 10 years ago. Not long ago, Ren Changxia was still an ordinary police officer. Once when he was studying abroad, Ren Changxia finally made a long-distance call to him through a friend. After chatting for more than half an hour, she still couldn't bear to hang up. But later, Ren Changxia became more and more busy, and the phone calls became more and more frequent. The fight is brief.

“We and I actually have a lot to say, but there are too many things on her side. "Wei Chunxiao was full of regrets.

After Ren Changxia passed away, her mother asked to be buried with her with a mobile phone. "She couldn't live without the phone. She always had so many things to do. But her younger sister, Wei Lijuan, secretly put away her phone and said, "My sister is too tired. Don't let the phone bother her anymore. It's time for her to have a good rest." ”

It’s not an easy woman

“It’s not that Ren Changxia doesn’t love her family, it’s just that over the years, the police have owed too many debts and there are too many people who need to be taken care of. Liu Kai said.

A small coal mine collapsed three years ago, and Liu Chunyu, an 11-year-old child who lost her mother when she was young, lost her father again. Liu Chunyu, who was wearing mourning and holding a thin coffin, gave birth to the child alone. The scene of her father's funeral made Ren Changxia, who was handling the accident at the time, feel "heart tightening."

On June 1st that year, Ren Changxia came to Liu Chunyu's school and sent her books and clothes to express her gratitude. After paying her tuition fees, she also mobilized police officers to provide one-on-one support to 126 primary school students. From then on, she became Liu Chunyu’s “Mama Ren”

On June 1st, 2002, Ren Changxia appeared again. I bought a skirt with green flowers on a white background for Liu Chunyu, and arranged for the children to visit the Science and Technology Museum in Zhengzhou.

Build an asphalt road for Wangtang Village in the westernmost mountainous area of ????Dengfeng, and built an asphalt road for Cui Geda, who is in danger. A new school building was built in the village primary school. When a villager she visited had asthma, she gave her traditional Chinese medicine. She helped the murderer's young son... Ren Changxia was always emotional at such times. In her words, "a woman's tears are shallow."

Police officer Cao Shuhong said that once she and Director Ren stayed in a remote mountain village for a week to solve a case. Director Ren specially sent a car to let her go home to take a shower. However, Director Ren's longest record was 21 days without taking a shower.

But Ren Changxia's "compassion" is so limited. After she became the chief, her only son Maomao never received a birthday gift from his mother again.

Husband Wei Chunxiao said that during a family dinner, Ren Changxia happened to catch up with her when she returned home. The family was chatting and laughing, but Ren Changxia started sobbing.

Wei Chunxiao said that he understood that it was Ren Changxia who felt deeply guilty for her family. "It's not easy for her to do what she is now, so we won't ask her for anything."

Ren Changxia is, after all, a woman.

Once, facing the news cameras, she first said business-like: "I want to carry forward my previous achievements and make persistent efforts to do a good job in our public security work, improve public security in our society, and provide better security to our society." Let’s have a stable and united social environment. Thank you all! We will have a meeting later, so please go back.”

At the end, I added: “Do I look good today?”

Wei Chunxiao said that now he finally had the opportunity to talk to Ren Changxia calmly for a while. Every day after get off work, he would sit in front of his wife's portrait and tell her what he had done today. The lilies, white roses and birds of paradise placed in front of the portrait were all Ren Changxia's favorites during her lifetime. The flowers were frequently changed and always fragrant.

The issues left by Ren Changxia

When "Oriental Outlook Weekly" was interviewing Ren Changxia's deeds, the media was reporting the news that a "rich policeman" was sentenced to death.

Lin Fujiu once served as the director of the Tax Investigation Branch of the Anshan Municipal Public Security Bureau and the director of the Internal Security Bureau of the Anshan Municipal Public Security Bureau. He successively solicited and accepted other people's property equivalent to more than 6.33 million yuan. Among them, the amount of bribes demanded was more than RMB 5.69 million. He also embezzled public funds and property equivalent to more than 712,000 yuan.

Such things have been heard frequently in recent years. In some major corruption cases, the chief of public security has been involved. In the Lai Changxing smuggling case, even Li Jizhou, then deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, accepted bribes.

In fact, Ren Changxia just did her duty as a police officer, but she won great favor from the people. This in itself is disappointing.

Why can she do what some police cannot? Ren Changxia believes that being a police officer is to realize one's ideals in life, not for anything else.

She said: "When I was a child, I saw male and female policemen, all wearing white at the top and blue at the bottom. I looked very envious. I thought that I would become a policeman in the future. I think this profession It’s quite noble and has been my ideal since childhood.”

Ren Changxia grew up in a rural area and lived a poor life. People who have been in contact with Ren Changxia say that she is a selfless and fearless person who takes the people's affairs more seriously than anything else.

Liu Congde, political commissar of the Dengfeng Municipal Public Security Bureau, mentioned the "Ren Changxia phenomenon" and believed that it mainly refers to her extremely high reputation among the people. The most prominent comments made by ordinary people about her are that she "does practical things", "does not accept gifts" and "does not accept money".

Ren Changxia is gone. How can we create more topics about Ren Changxia, but they remain.

Since last year, China's public security system has begun to implement police reforms, from the introduction of "five prohibitions" to solve the "long-standing" problems in the public security team such as guns, alcohol, cars, gambling, etc., to the clean-up of the public security team , letting "30,000 police officers roll up their sleeves"; from carrying out "three system reforms" of administrative approval, cadre personnel and financial management, to organizing inspection teams to go to various places to secretly investigate police conduct, a series of systems are being established, but this is also not a one-stop process. The progress of the work of the day. -

Citizens’ evaluation of Ren Changxia

●Since Ren Changxia came, the appearance of Dengfeng has changed greatly.

●Our Dengfeng Public Security Bureau used to have a lot of major cases. After Director Ren came, he solved these cases one after another.

●It is very popular with the people. It is not bad anyway and does good things for the people.

●I admire her very much because she is a heroine among women and a hero among women.

Always regard safeguarding and realizing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the fundamental starting point and goal of public security work. Adhering to the people's public security policy for the people, we must always keep the safety and security of the people at heart, start from what the people most want the public security organs to do, and start from the things that the people are most dissatisfied with the public security work. We must do our best to do anything that wins the support of the people and is in compliance with the will of the people; and we must work vigorously and resolutely to correct any problems that are unpopular and contrary to the will of the people.
