On January 30, the Anhui Good People List in the fourth quarter of 2023 was released, and the two special (patrol) police members of the Lai'an County Public Security Bureau, Zheng Qiang and Yan Weijun, were listed. Last year, they died heroically for saving the people who fell into the water, and now they are buried in the Eastern Anhui Martyrs Cemetery in Banta Town, Lai'an County. And their deeds of recklessness have long been remembered in the hearts of the people of Lai'an.
At 15:17 on July 20, 2023, a man accidentally fell into the water in the Sanli River channel in Lai'an County, and after receiving the alarm from the masses, Yan Weijun and Zheng Qiang, members of the Special (Patrol) Police Brigade of the Lai'an County Public Security Bureau, rushed to the scene with life-saving equipment as soon as possible. In the face of the turbulent flowing water, Yan Weijun did not hesitate at all, shouting "I can swim, I will go first", while quickly putting on life-saving equipment, without hesitation, he plunged into the fierce and turbulent river from the side of the river of nearly three meters, and tried to get closer to the person who fell into the water. However, the person who fell into the water was near the rolling dam, and the water rushed down to the dam, forming a turbulent undercurrent and a whirlpool, when approaching the rolling dam, due to the fierce water potential and large underwater suction, Yan Weijun's lifebuoy was knocked away, and the buoyancy of the life jacket did not work, Yan Weijun was quickly swallowed by the whirlpool, and Zheng Qiang, a member of the team who followed Yan Weijun into the water to save people, also suffered misfortune for the same reason. Subsequently, the police, fire and rescue personnel, medical personnel, and cadres and the masses worked together to salvage the three people who fell into the water, but they were not rescued because they had been in the water for too long.
The two team members who died in the line of duty have achieved excellent results in the special (patrol) police competition held by the higher authorities many times, among them, Yan Weijun rescued two people who fell into the water in 2022. After the sacrifice of the two team members, the Chuzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Chuzhou Youth Federation posthumously awarded Yan Weijun and Zheng Qiang the Chuzhou Youth May Fourth Medal; The people of Anhui Province assessed Yan Weijun and Zheng Qiang as martyrs.
