Time is like water, and footsteps leave traces. On July 28, 2023, the 31st Summer Universiade opened in Chengdu, Sichuan.
At 8 o'clock that night, brilliant fireworks bloomed over Dong'an Lake, slowly kicking off the wonderful prelude to the Universiade. As the person in charge of the security inspection and EOD work of the opening ceremony, I have been looking forward to it for more than 1,000 days and nights for the arrival of this day and the grand scene of this moment.
Dream flowers bloom in the middle of summer, which makes countless people's hearts surge.
"The countdown fireworks lit up the main venue, and looking at the numbers, I burst into tears, and I was extremely nervous in addition to being excited. With the party and state leaders, dignitaries from various countries and athletes, journalists, and spectators from 113 countries and regions in the world entering the stadium one after another, the world's eyes are focused on Chengdu. The mission of the public security people's police is glorious and the responsibility is heavy.
I announce the opening of the 31st Summer Universiade in Chengdu! * The sound of the opening resounded in the night sky, and I was briefly withdrawn from my busy schedule, and the cheers and applause of the venue could be heard in my ears. The sounds were like notes that calmed my nerves a lot. The stage that has appeared in my dreams countless times, the moment became very clear, although I had not even seen the rehearsal.
The 2-hour opening ceremony was wonderful, and I thought it was both long and short. The bits and pieces of the preparation period are constantly replaying in my head.
In October 2020, shortly after I became the deputy head of the Special Police EOD Brigade of the Chengdu Municipal Public Security Bureau, I received an important task - to be responsible for the security inspection and EOD work at the opening ceremony of the Universiade. In more than 2 months, my teammates and I consulted a large number of professional information, optimized 20 versions, and preliminarily completed the formulation of the Universiade security inspection and EOD program system.
On April 19, 2023, the countdown to the opening of the Universiade is 100 days. I led the team to complete the approval of the Universiade security inspection and EOD plan system. After that, I started to work non-stop on EOD security drills.
30 days before the countdown to the opening ceremony of the Universiade, I participated in the Chengdu Municipal Public Security Bureau's Universiade Security Decisive Battle and Decisive Pledge Conference. It was June 28, 2023, and the weather was unusually muggy. I put on a heavy explosion-proof suit and waited for the EOD course to be rehearsed. When I heard the radio say, "The next drill is for SWAT EOD subjects," I settled down and came to a drone. I judged that this was an electric detonation device, and then set up a remote wire cutter, carried out remote cutting, and transferred the ** device, and the whole process was completed in one go. Actually, I've done thousands of drills like this.
However, there is a big difference between actual combat and drills. We often say that security EOD is both the first and the last line of defense, and it is necessary to be "foolproof", because "nothing is lost". And I know best that the security inspection and EOD work of the main venue of the opening ceremony that I am responsible for must be "foolproof", and I can't do it alone, and every team member, every point, and every inspection need to be done to the extreme.
After the opening ceremony, the crowd left the venue in an orderly manner, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces. I know they had an extraordinary and unforgettable night of dreams. Perhaps, many people will not know about us, let alone what efforts we have made behind the scenes. But when I think that we have become the most calm navy blue background under the safe opening of the event, I feel that everything we have paid is worth it!
When the venue gradually quieted down, my heart calmed down. I walked into the venue, found a place to sit for 10 minutes, and silently looked at this venue that witnessed history, and my heart was full of emotion - the grand scene of the event, and the vigilance was hot; Shengshi Huazhang, our generation escort.

Looking back on 2023, I have experienced a lot of things, crying, laughing, and wronged to protect the National Convention and Exhibition Center (known as "Clover"), and I have been tired, painful, and proud of the security of the Expo.
The National Convention and Exhibition Center Public Security Police Station is the most "pocket" police station in Shanghai, and its jurisdiction is "Clover" 098 square kilometers of venues. Although the area of the jurisdiction is small, the responsibility of security is not small at all. Guarding the Expo, we encounter the most people asking for help, some involving documents, some lost items, and some ...... who find their way to ask questionsThere is a special mobile phone in the house, it is an old style many years ago, every time we find an item, we will contact the owner through this mobile phone, and over time, the mobile phone has collected a lot of thank you text messages. When we turn on our phones, we also feel the greatest sense of accomplishment.
On the night before the opening of the 6th China International Import Expo, the staff of the institute conducted a final inspection of the venues. It was late at the end of the tour, and it was destined to be impossible to sleep that night. Thinking that the next day will usher in the grand opening ceremony, my comrades-in-arms and I are excited, for that moment, we are strong, stationed and assembled, all time and space, multi-directional, high-density fight at the forefront of security, that moment is our responsibility, but also our glory.
When I returned to the office, I quickly took out my mobile phone and wanted to connect with my son, because I often don't go home, so I made an agreement with my son to listen to him play the piano for a few minutes every day, which was considered relaxing. When I heard the sound of no one answering on my phone, I looked out the window, and the night had already fallen, and it was already early in the morning. My son left the ** who played the piano that day in WeChat, and I looked at the phone, listened to it over and over again, laughed over and over again, and forgot about my tiredness.
In order to solve the problem of serving the last meter of the public, we have enabled a one-key alarm device at the Expo, which upgrades the traditional alarm and help process to the time of the exhibition or exhibitors Once the exhibition or exhibitors press the help button on the booth, the system will transmit the relevant situation to the on-site command post, and the whole process is faster and more convenient than issuing police information layer by layer, further saving the time consumption of the police link. In the venue, we have also set up a number of comprehensive support service points, equipped with reading glasses, first aid kits, defibrillators and other items. Although the service point is not large, it has many functions, including safety prevention publicity, collection of opinions and suggestions, and police handling.
In order to do a good job in the security of the Expo, my colleagues and I lived in the unit for more than a month, and withstood the severe test of ensuring safety and keeping the bottom line. I ignored it and persevered, my heart never changed like the navy blue on my body.
There is as much dirt as there is in the feet, and there is as much sediment in the heart. In 2023, in the security tasks of various exhibition activities, my comrades-in-arms and I resolved one conflict after another, and did our best to help the masses recover lost items. Every day is busy, hard, moving, and sweet. This year, it is delicious and heavy.
Before you know it, we have come to 2024. Don't forget the suffering and glory of yesterday, be worthy of today's mission, and live up to tomorrow's great dream. What a blessing to be born in a prosperous age. In 2024, our passion will still be strong and our fighting spirit will still be strong.

In 2023, Zhejiang and Hangzhou are the highlight moments that will shine and forever go down in history, and for me, it will be an unforgettable year, destined to leave a deep imprint in my life. This year, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, which attracted worldwide attention, was successfully held.
As the "home of athletes", Hangzhou Asian Games Village is an important "window" for the Hangzhou Asian Games to fully display the image and service level of the host city, involving the most work areas and the longest time cycle.
In December 2021, the organization gave me an important task - to be stationed in the Asian Games Village to participate in the preparations for safe escort. The construction of the Asian Games Village had just begun, and the police office at that time was a makeshift shed. Every day, I shuttled between the headquarters and various points, drilled over and over again, checked over and over again, and checked all kinds of data repeatedly. My colleagues jokingly call me "the Asian Games Village Watchman", but I am well aware of the importance of this role.
In the face of complicated preparatory tasks, I led the team to overcome difficulties, in accordance with the principle of "synchronous construction, synchronous security", to build the province's first construction site version of the joint logistics police station, I took the lead in integrating the resources of police stations, traffic police, fire protection, urban management, streets and other departments, set up 3 joint logistics governance teams, and carried out the integration of digital and intelligent governance, joint logistics linkage, and convenient services for the construction site of the Asian Games Village, and the relevant experience and practices were fully affirmed by the organizing committee.
After 17 years as a police officer, during the G20 Hangzhou Summit, I was a member of the special team of the main venue, but there was no successful experience in the safe escort of the Asian Games Village to "copy and paste". I began to study and adjust the team's operating system and mechanism, collect and sort out all kinds of preparatory materials, write work plans, make work promotion tables, and lead the team members to go deep into the field, measure every corner with their footsteps, and check every facility.
In order to strengthen the coordination and cooperation and integrated linkage with the various centers and posts of the operation team, each link and each point is required to be "strict and detailed", in order to provide a safe, comfortable and warm "athlete's home" for delegations from all countries. With the orderly development of various tasks, I continue to sum up experience, coordinate and communicate, and maximize the role of the members of the Asian Games Village Safety Escort Team as "uploading and disseminating, staff assistants".
As a security service member, my team members and I have always firmly established the concept of "athlete-centric". September 16-25, 2023 was the peak of the delegation's arrivals, and our registration team members worked tirelessly until four or five o'clock in the morning every day. On the premise of maintaining the bottom line of safety, we strive to provide high-quality and efficient security services. In terms of registration and certification services, we focus on "ensuring the safe and orderly flow of our customer base, and the efficient and accurate execution of work and activities", and actively provide a variety of registration and certification services for delegations, technical experts, journalists and staff from various countries (regions). In terms of traffic safety management, we led the team to design more than 100 traffic flow lines and found and rectified more than 30 traffic safety hazards around the goal of safe, punctual, convenient, green and warm service guarantee. At the Athletes' Welcome Centre, we have set up immigration service stations that provide on-site service and round-the-clock consultation services in English and Chinese**.
On the evening of October 5, 2023, a member of the team** came to the service station for help, he booked a ticket to return to China on October 7, but his visa was about to expire. Faced with this situation, the staff quickly opened the green channel and completed a number of service processes as quickly as possible. The next day, the client was able to obtain a new visa.
After this year, I have experienced the entire Asian Games security work, and two key words make me unforgettable - sense of responsibility and comradeship. From the confusion of the unknown situation in the early stage of preparation, to the calmness of coping with the great difficulties later, we rely on this firm and iron-clad sense of responsibility to persevere all the way. This "battle" has united us, but also inspired us, the successful completion of the Asian Games security task, gave us the courage and confidence to overcome difficulties, we will carry this honor, continue to struggle in a corner of the city, protect the safety of Hangzhou.
Xi'an: Go all out to ensure the Spring Festival Gala and celebrate the New Year safely

One minute on stage, ten years off stage. **There is an 8-minute program at the Xi'an branch of the 2024 Spring Festival Gala of Radio and Television Station. In order to ensure the smooth filming of this 8-minute program, we all went all out.
When I received this task in December 2023, the first thing I faced was to formulate an organizational structure and work plan, and all aspects had to be taken into account. One is called the "Security Work Plan", in addition to the responsibilities of public security, a temporary stage is set up, involving the Urban Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau; Fire safety, which involves fire and rescue detachments. The on-site security team where we are located must have an overall plan, as well as a "traffic control plan" and "certificate planning and use plan", etc., which are summarized in another book.
The live broadcast of the Xi'an branch venue was set up in Kaiyuan Square in Datang Sleepless City, and there were 7,000 extras alone. The shooting points include the South Square of the Railway Station, Yongning Gate, Yongxing Fang, Dafeng Pavilion, Han Chang'an City Ruins, Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace Ruins Park, Hanyuan Palace, Tang Furong Garden Ziyun Tower, etc., showing the charm of Xi'an's famous cultural city. However, with such a large scale and such a performance activity, it is the first time that Kaiyuan Plaza has experienced it. Because it was the first time, we all went all out, and the security plan was meticulously done.
There have been many rehearsals in the branch venues, and in order to ensure the safety of the performance, we have closed it with a separation wall. We assign security forces to be responsible for guarding, order maintenance, traffic control, drone control, etc.
Datang Never Sleeps City is an Internet celebrity check-in place and is frequented by a large number of tourists. Kaiyuan Plaza has a distribution point sent by a supermarket to the whole city, Yintai **, more than 30 shops on the street, and dozens of fixed stalls. We must not only ensure the smooth filming of the Spring Festival Gala venue, but also take care of the interests of the merchants here as much as possible, and block the door of the merchants, so we have to find a way to leave another channel for others. We continue to coordinate and communicate with the CCTV director team to plan as reasonably as possible.
Outside the entrance of Yintai **, there is a platform seven or eight meters long and more than one meter high. The edge of the platform is a glass partition, which belongs to the relaxation area. Originally, we left a passage a few meters wide on the auxiliary road. But as soon as the rehearsal performance sounds, the tourists gather here, and the passage becomes an "intestinal obstruction". In coordination with Yintai**, we adopted a time-based and region-by-region approach to minimise the impact on merchants.
On the evening of January 25 this year, a large number of group performances came to a recording site. We set up multiple assembly points to assemble remotely, and the group enters and exits. According to the actual situation, we have implemented graded traffic control on some roads, and issued traffic control announcements through "Xi'an Public Security"**. Citizens can know the time and section of the road closure early on their mobile phones.
How busy are we, you ask? Let's put it this way, after the security task of the Spring Festival Gala venue, my colleagues and I have not taken a single Saturday and Sunday, and no one has returned home before 10 o'clock in the evening. Let's just say that I am busy every day. At 8 o'clock in the morning, one after another, the work ** called.
In fact, the security work of the Spring Festival Gala is only part of my work with my comrades-in-arms. The holding of the "Xi'an Year, the Most Chinese" cultural tourism event, the holding of the women's basketball qualifying tournament for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, in addition to the security tasks of some key projects. No matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth it, and I just want the motherland to be prosperous and the people to be happy and healthy.
