The feeling of not being able to see the light, for a healthy person, can be very distant, and can only be felt with the eyes closed. 17 years ago, Shao Jie, a community police officer at the Temple of Heaven Police Station of the Dongcheng Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, was diagnosed with irreversible tubular retinitis pigmentosa.
Today is the 4th Chinese People's Police Day, and Chang'anjun tells you the story of this "policeman chasing the light".
With Xiao Shao here, we can rest assured".
Shao Jie is a native of Beijing and is familiar with the Temple of Heaven area where he has lived for 20 years. In 1984, under the recommendation of the policeman Wang, Shao Jie, who was tall and sports-loving, passed the examination and became a people's policeman.
When he first joined the police, Shao Jie, like most new police officers, was still unfamiliar with public security work. is not familiar with the masses, and the understanding of the jurisdiction is only daily memory, how to get through the relationship with the masses and quickly familiarize himself with the jurisdiction is Shao Jie's problem.
In the era when there was no communication equipment, we could only use the old method of going door-to-door.
Within three months, through a joint meeting of the community masses and Shao Jie's Hutong Hutong, he visited door to door, and most of the people in the jurisdiction got to know this new policeman.
The community work of the public security is only one word to say, the heart. Add a heart to your words, become you, and add more heart to your work, this is my trick", Shao Jie recalled the work of his youth, and he was still full of energy.
With Xiao Shao here, we can rest assured".The uncle and aunt at the mouth of the alley were full of affirmation of this new policeman. Shao Jie also loves every corner of the Temple of Heaven jurisdiction.
At that time, Shao Jie had light in his eyes. The work is conscientious, and the masses affirm that the work of community policing has become a career that he will stick to in his life since then.
has been a community policeman, caught thieves, and handled major cases, in the eyes of his colleagues, Shao Jie is also extraordinary.
In the summer of 1997, Shao Jie received a report of theft. The newly bought car of the people in the jurisdiction was stolen from the CD player installed in the car. At that time, the equipment in the car could be worth a month's salary of an ordinary worker. In Shao Jie's eyes, this amount is also a large amount of cases.
Although the area of the jurisdiction is not large, it is not a simple matter to investigate the personnel. The theft was at night, and in the era when there were no surveillance cameras, Shao Jie could only rely on Shao Jie's keen reconnaissance to find out a little bit. Migrant workers, people visiting relatives and friends, strangers who have recently appeared in the jurisdiction, and businessmen in the second-hand equipment market have all become Shao Jie's focus.
After some investigation, the janitor of the community found several suspicious people, and after Shao Jie knew about it, he locked the scope of the suspect. After several twists and turns, he found a suspect in the jurisdiction, and after interrogation, he learned the address of the real suspect. After learning the accurate identity, Shao Jie and his colleagues arrested the two suspects together, and followed the clues to solve a tire theft case, Shao Jie was very pleased.
In those years, many community residents went to the Tiantan Police Station to do business, and the first thing that came to mind was Shao Jie. Shao Jie's identity as a film police officer was also maintained from 1984 to 2007.
The light in my eyes is completely gone."
In 2007, Shao Jie slowly discovered that a black halo appeared in his field of vision, which in his opinion was just the reason for not resting well. But the long-term lack of improvement made him worried.
I went to the hospital, and the doctor gave a test result, and the diagnosis was confirmed to be tubular retinal pigment variants.
From that point on, my eyes were like a slowly closing window, closing little by little. But Shao Jie didn't know what kind of feelings he would face next.
Shao Jie, who had sick eyes, was still able to carry out his work normally, but the obstruction of vision made him have to leave the segment work and turn to the daily affairs of the office, and his heart began to struggle. He has worked in the jurisdiction for more than 20 years, and he is the most reluctant to keep him away from the masses.
Time is ticking, and his vision is narrowing a little.
At the beginning of 2008, preparations for the Beijing Olympics were in full swing, and Shao Jie, as the person most familiar with the jurisdiction, also wanted to contribute. But at that time, he could only see half of the light. In order to do his best to participate in the national event, Shao Jie chose to help the internal police summarize various data in the command room of the police station.
Brother Shao, I really admire it, the places that were not shown on the map at that time, Brother Shao could tell us that he was ** with his eyes closed. The police from the Temple of Heaven police station said.
In this way, Shao Jie only relied on his memory and cooperated with his colleagues to complete various tasks.
The Olympic Games were successfully held, but Shao Jie's vision was becoming blurred little by little, and the unwillingness in Shao Jie's heart became more and more intense.
The disease is irreversible, and it is only a matter of time before you can't see anything. When it comes to his eyes, Shao Jie feels very uncomfortable.
In 2013, Shao Jie obtained a second-level disability certificate, "The light in my eyes completely disappeared and turned pale." ”
After the old leader at that time knew about Shao Jie's situation, he took the initiative to communicate with Shao Jie. According to the normal process, Shao Jie can leave his post early and choose to retire, but after sticking to his public security work for nearly 30 years, Shao Jie has never been able to let go.
I won't trouble everyone, I also want to contribute to the safety of the jurisdiction", Shao Jie judged the position of the leader and colleagues through his voice, and the light in his eyes shone at that moment.
In this way, Shao Jie took the initiative to ask to work at the front desk of the Temple of Heaven Police Station and became a front desk reception policeman, and his road to chasing light began at that moment.
I want to be a police officer in my next life."
In order not to cause trouble to his colleagues, Shao Jie took the bus every day and arrived at the police station on time accompanied by his lover. Take a glass of water, a **, and get to work. This is Shao Jie's daily "chasing light" action, and he has not been late for 11 years.
From 8 o'clock in the morning, the busy police station was full of people, Shao Jie received everyone alone, no matter what mood they had when they walked into the police station to do things, they could be infected by Shao Jie's polite and warm attitude. With crooked eyes when he laughs, coupled with a modest attitude, as long as he doesn't observe carefully, Shao Jie seems to be able to see, no different from ordinary people.
At the beginning, the colleagues in the institute took great care of Shao Jie, and in his new position, Shao Jie's heart was still warm. But the leaders and colleagues are still worried about whether Shao Jie can be qualified for this position when he can't see it, after all, being unable to see things is a very big obstacle for anyone.
In order to do a good job, Shao Jie has kept in mind the numbers of more than 100 colleagues in the institute with many years of familiarity and excellent memory, and the addresses and contacts of major hospitals, clinics, coal, water and electricity payment points in the jurisdiction, as well as the contact of bicycle repair shops.
Shao Jie, who was at work, touched the fixed ** button, accurately dialed out every number, and answered every question from the masses.
Officer, I want to move, which officer do you want to find?”
I'll call you the district police. ”
I lost my bike, who do I go to to report it?”
You go to the 2nd floor of the police station and look for Officer Liu. ”
In May 2023, an 87-year-old man found Shao Jie through **, and the old man wanted to check his exact birthday, but too much time has passed, many places have changed, and it is very difficult to find. But Shao Jie has always taken this matter to heart, and after many contacts, Shao Jie finally found clues about the old man's hometown in the old household registration files of other police stations.
After repeated searches in the archives, Shao Jie and the local police station finally learned the old man's year of birth.
Although many people say why fight?But I think that being able to solve these urgent problems for the masses is what we should do," Shao Jie said.
With his familiarity with the details of the jurisdiction and his true feelings, Shao Jie received nearly 100,000 people who came to do business, and he insisted on it for 11 years.
In the past 11 years, Shao Jie's eyes have been pale, and these 100,000 people do not have a specific appearance in Shao Jie's mind. But the most frequently asked question by the masses who came to do business was: "Don't you really see it?"”
This year, Shao Jie has just completed 40 years in the police, and when he touches the heavy Medal of Honor for Serving as a police officer, Shao Jie's eyes are moist - "In the next life, I will still be a policeman."
Around us, like Shao Jie, the "policeman chasing the light", there are many policemen who love and dedicate themselves silently. At this moment, let us wish all the people's police officers in the country a happy holiday, good health, smooth work, and a happy family!
