in Nanjing, Jiangsu
A wall more than a foot thick separates the two prisons
It also delineates the "dislocation of time and space" of a double-police family
*Photographed and provided by Purple Mountain**.
His wife, Niu Ying, is a police officer in the 10th Prison District of Nanjing Women's Prison, while her husband Zhou Cheng is a police officer in the 14th Prison District of Nanjing Prison across the wall. When working, the distance between the husband and wife in a straight line is not even more than 400 meters, but "meeting each other" has become a "luxury" for this special family.
For such a situation, Niu Ying and Zhou Cheng have actually been accustomed to it, from acquaintance to companionship, "two-way running" seems to be their constant theme.
Just because I took an extra look at you in the police barracks
When Niu Ying first came to work in Nanjing Women's Prison, Zhou Cheng was still working in a local unit. By chance, he was invited to participate in the "Police Families Entering the Police Barracks" event held by the prison. That day, Zhou Cheng saw his wife working in a police uniform for the first time.
It must be busy, right?Wipe your sweat ......”
It's nothing, I just took a few steps to participate in the emergency drill. ”
Niu Ying is heroic, focused and capable at work, but all this is a little more distressing in the eyes of her husband. Although he had already learned from his wife that prison work was not easy, Zhou Cheng was still shocked when he really felt it on the spot.
Comrade Officer Niu, Xiao Zhou salutes you!”
After returning home, Zhou Cheng began to prepare for the exam, hoping to join the prison police team and give his wife more care and support at close range. In September 2015, Zhou Cheng put on a police uniform as he wished and officially became a prison people's policeman. And behind this "police camp reunion" that travels through time and space, the "double police life" of the two has also begun.
Like a master and apprentice, like a comrade-in-arms, but not much like a husband and wife
Because he joined the police three years later than Niu Ying, Zhou Cheng always likes to consult his wife whenever he encounters problems at work. At that time, the few time the two spent together was basically exchanging business topics.
What do you usually do when you encounter conflicts between inmates?”
Let's take a look at this micro-research article I wrote, the idea is very good, right?”
To outsiders, the couple seems to be more like a pair of "master and apprentice". But Niu Ying and Zhou Cheng knew very well that they could communicate in such a way, and the distance between them was already closer.
Later, the couple had the crystallization of love, but because of the adjustment of their jobs, the two became busier. As a result, the role of this double police family is also quietly changing.
Officer Zhou, I have an important task for you!During the lunch break, Niu Ying called Zhou Cheng **. Do you want me to pick up the kids?Although the husband and wife adopted a "shift system" to take care of their children, they had staggered their "duty hours" at the beginning of the month. But for such a "sudden task", Zhou Cheng was also prepared in his heart.
There is a temporary research meeting, and I really can't leave ...... tonight"Okay, I'll try to change shifts. Zhou Cheng didn't say much, but he responded quickly, and he always didn't hesitate to support his wife.
The daily life of the double police family has a unique mode of operation, and the mutual relay and mutual reliance under the "dislocation life" are their exclusive tacit understanding.
There is indeed a magic to this navy blue police uniform
In order to transform a stubborn inmate in the prison area, Niu Ying did not "relax" for nearly two months. Continuous heart-to-heart education, and even thousands of miles of visits and investigations, are just to melt the ice hidden deep in the hearts of prisoners. In the end, with the help of the joint efforts of family affection, she successfully pulled out the "secret thorn" in the heart of the inmate.
Is it really necessary to spend so much effort?”
Before becoming a prison policeman, Zhou Cheng couldn't quite understand his wife's persistence, and even expressed dissatisfaction. It wasn't until I put on this police uniform that I knew what a "mission on my shoulders" was.
Work is no longer just work, even if it is not known or understood, but all the efforts are given more meaning. Becoming a "double police family" allows each other to grow up in their work, and this heavy responsibility will also be shouldered by the husband and wife.
Now, every time he encounters a new task or a new situation, Zhou Cheng will take the initiative to "drill in" as soon as possible, even if he "rotates" day and night, he will never "withdraw his troops" if he does not figure it out;When encountering "difficult" inmates, Zhou Cheng will also be like his wife, exchanging patient and meticulous time investment for an opportunity for a new sprout.
This system-wide post training, let's compare the two of them?”
In different positions separated by a wall, the husband and wife seem to be "secretly competing". Because they understand that this wall is no longer a barrier, but the most special bond between them.
If you can solve it yourself, you won't bother everyone
Morning: Individual talk education, preparation of group commentary......”
This is the notepad that Zhou Cheng carries with him, which is full of various things to do every day. Completed items are marked with a "circle", and unfinished projects are highlighted with a red pen. Zhou Cheng has already written 4 notebooks like this. And this seemingly inconspicuous habit has to start from March 2019 ......
At that time, Zhou Cheng was rushed to the hospital for a sudden cerebral infarction, and he was out of danger after three days and three nights of rescue, but the follow-up was still long. Considering the practical difficulties of the couple, the prison then arranged for duty adjustments, and colleagues also took the initiative to support the family to tide over the difficulties.
Now that the danger has passed, the couple in the ward silently decided: it is not easy for anyone, and the rest of the things will be solved by themselves as much as possible. So his wife Niu Ying rushed to the prison area, the hospital and the home "three points and one line", supporting things inside and out, big and small;Husband Zhou Cheng actively cooperated**, and finally recovered smoothly after half a year.
Zhou Cheng, who didn't want to cause trouble to everyone anymore, gave up the "vacation period" and resolutely returned to the front line of work. Faced with the sequelae of "memory regression", he developed a work habit of note-taking.
Zhou Cheng's first notebook was given by his wife Niu Ying, and there was a line of small print on the title page: Officer Zhou, **oil!Husband and wife are of the same heart, not afraid of mountains and seas!
Choosing to become a "double police family" requires greater courage and responsibility.
In Jiangsu Prison, there are actually many police couples like Zhou Cheng and Niu Ying. Although their stories are not the same, they must go to the common "love" in their respective "time and space", and strive to light up the peace of the party with the glimmer of the small family!
