Editor's note.
He is a red willow from the northwest, rooted on the bank of the Liujiang River in order to protect the water and soil; He is a screw that nails the rule of law firmly, guarding the clear water and blue sky for the people of Liuzhou; He is a "son of a cow" who bends over the people, uses the rule of law thinking and the rule of law to solve practical problems for the masses, and constantly meets the people's growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment. Since the launch of the second batch of theme education, Liuzhou City has firmly grasped it"Learn ideology, strengthen party spirit, emphasize practice, and make new contributions."The general requirements are that Jiao Yanxiong and other party members and cadres should work hard, do practical work, and seek practical results, transform the achievements of theme education into the results of high-quality development, establish the ecological concept in the study of thought, and find answers and methods in the understanding of thought, so that the sky is bluer, the mountains are greener, the water is clearer, and the environment is more beautiful.
"Liuzhou has won four consecutive championships! At noon on January 25, Jiao Yanxiong, deputy head of the Liuzhou Ecological Environmental Protection Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment, found that his colleagues were rejoicing in the work group while he was busy at the ecological environment law enforcement site: the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has just announced the national surface water assessment section water environmental quality ranking from January to December 2023, and Liuzhou's water quality has ranked first among cities at and above the prefecture level in the country for four consecutive years. His eyes moistened: this achievement was not easy to come by! His busy pace couldn't help but quicken:Keeping the "crown" of Liuzhou's water quality is the first, and there is a long way to go!
In the sky above the Dragon City, the blue sky and white clouds and the clear water of the river reflect each other, which is beautiful. (Data map: Photo by reporter Huang Rui).
A good ecological environment is the fairest public good and the most inclusive people's livelihood and well-being. Liuzhou's transformation from a "city of acid rain" to a national "water quality champion" is the happiness of the people of Liuzhou. Behind this, it is thousands of environmental protection guards like Jiao Yanxiong who practice the idea of ecological civilization and the rule of law, and guard the green waters and green mountains of Liuzhou with loyalty and sweat.
At the juncture of improving the ecological environment and curbing the increase, it was the time when it was difficult to loosen up and retreat, Jiao Yanxiong was like a nail breaking through layers of obstacles and straight into the front line of ecological and environmental law enforcement. He has adhered to the front line for 15 years, hammered one after another with the spirit of nailing, properly handled more than 4,000 complaints and reports from the masses, and solved a large number of hot and difficult problems in the ecological environment. With the "great man of the country" in mind, he bent down and was willing to be the people's "son of a cow", and used the rule of law thinking and rule of law methods to do a good job in the small things of people's livelihood that are of vital interest to the masses, and constantly met the people's growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment.
In recent years, Jiao Yanxiong has successively won honors such as the "Most Beautiful Civil Servant" in the country, the "Civil Servant with People's Satisfaction" in the country, and the "2023 Rule of Law Figure" in the country.

Jiao Yanxiong said: "These achievements are achieved by everyone's joint efforts, and I am just one of the lucky ones. Since the launch of the second batch of theme education, Jiao Yanxiong has "cast his soul" in firm faith, "increased wisdom" in deep study and understanding, "positive wind" in inspection and rectification, and "promoted dryness" in the unity of knowledge and action. He said:"I will further stand on the people's position, solve the most direct and realistic interests of the people, do a good job of doing things that benefit the people's livelihood, do things that warm the hearts of the people, and do things that conform to the will of the people, and effectively transform the results of theoretical study into practical results in protecting lucid waters and lush mountains. ”
A red willow plantOn the banks of the Liujiang River
Take root and sprout
39-year-old Jiao Yanxiong is not tall, wears a pair of glasses, and is quite bookish when he is not wearing **. Due to his busy work on the front line of ecological and environmental law enforcement all the year round, his ** is a little dark and rough, and he has a mouthful of white teeth when he laughs, revealing the boldness of a man in the northwest. After wearing an "ecological blue"**, Jiao Yanxiong looked serious and capable again. "My son always says, 'Daddy is an environmental policeman'. ”Jiao Yanxiong said with a smile.
In Jiao Yanxiong's hometown of Guyuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, there is a plant that lives tenaciously in the desert Gobi called red willow. The writer Bi Shumin describes it as follows: "They have branches as rusty red as iron, broken leaves like phoenix feathers, and occasionally produce fine flowers like ears of grain, smiling at the cold and lack of oxygen on the plateau." ”
Jiao Yanxiong's "red willow" comes from the northwest where water resources are scarce, and when he first arrived on the bank of the Liujiang River, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, he stopped for this side of the water and soil.
In 2009, after graduating from Northwest A&F University, Jiao Yanxiong entered the monitoring station under the then Liujiang County Environmental Protection Bureau as a technician.
If he didn't understand professional knowledge, he taught himself from scratch; He is not familiar with the monitoring business, so he has nearly 30,000 words of quality manuals, program documents and other materials; If he is not proficient in various tasks, he will "learn from teachers" everywhere.
Liu Mingqin was "called" by him, and ** has also become a guiding light for him.
In 2010, Jiao Yanxiong went to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to study under the class, and often dealt with the planning and environmental management department where Liu Mingqin worked. "He was a top student majoring in chemical engineering at Peking University, and he had been working for nearly 20 years at that time, and he knew a lot of things, and he taught me a lot of business knowledge. Jiao Yanxiong said.
Once, when Jiao Yanxiong measured the sewage discharge of a paper mill, he took it for granted that papermaking was from raw materials to paper output, so he only counted one step, but was severely criticized by Liu Mingqin. "Papermaking is about making pulp from raw materials, and then making paper from pulp. Although Liu Mingqin criticized him harshly, he patiently taught him in action. Jiao Yanxiong listened and memorized, and after coming and going, he began to call Liu Mingqin "**."
Far away from home, rooted in the grassroots, and most of the work is complicated and trivial, Jiao Yanxiong once felt lost. After the college students who entered the unit in the same batch as him resigned one after another, Jiao Yanxiong also had the idea of resigning.
Liu Mingqin remembered that at that time, he and Jiao Yanxiong did not go home at noon, and the two often had heart-to-heart conversations during their lunch break in the office, "I told him to settle down and work hard, eat professional knowledge thoroughly, do a line of love, and gold will shine in **."
At a chance job opportunity, Jiao Yanxiong was very distressed to see the sewage being discharged directly into the clear river. "I asked myself, if I'm like some people and I'm gone, who will protect the mountains and rivers here? This rather heroic question mark hit Jiao Yanxiong's heart, and the seeds of ideals broke through the ground, and he took deep roots on the banks of the Liujiang River.
A law in practice
Eruption of "teeth".
In 2015, the new "Environmental Protection" was implemented. This law, which is hailed as the strictest and "long-toothed" law in history, puts forward higher requirements for front-line law enforcers. In 2016, Jiao Yanxiong was transferred to the former Liujiang District Environmental Supervision Brigade (now known as the Liujiang District Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade) as the team leader.
Lan Mengjie, deputy captain of the Liujiang District Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade, remembers vividly that she had just joined the work at that time, and after Jiao Yanxiong arrived, she acted vigorously and led the team to handle several major cases.
In December 2018, some people reported that someone had dumped a large amount of industrial waste residue in Daziling, Chuanshan Town, in the jurisdiction. Jiao Yanxiong immediately led law enforcement officers to the scene to investigate. The situation at the scene is shocking: the three huge pits are full of gray-white industrial waste, which contrasts strongly with the surrounding green vegetation and emits a pungent smell.
Who did this to you? "Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but regretted to find that because the dumping point was in the wilderness, there was no public ** installed along the road. Jiao Yanxiong judged by the dumping traces that the illegal dumping suspect would definitely dump again, so he decided to use the stupidest but most effective method - squatting.
It was the depths of winter, and the mountains were frosty, the cold wind mixed with the cold rain, and I felt like my bones were going to freeze. We put on the thickest cotton clothes and squatted in groups of four or five people in the car. Mo Jiangheng, deputy captain of the Liujiang District Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade, said that after research and judgment, they believed that the illegal dumping suspect would most likely choose to dump late at night when the weather was bad, so he stayed near the dumping site from 8 o'clock in the evening to 5 o'clock in the morning of the next day, and quickly dispatched more people when it was windy and rainy night. When you are hungry, eat some dry bread and self-heating fast food; When thirsty, drink a sip of cold mineral water; When you are sleepy, you take turns taking a nap in the car.
After squatting for 12 days in a row, the suspect of illegal dumping finally appeared. In the early hours of the morning, with wind and rain, Jiao Yanxiong and others were staying in the car, and suddenly saw a bright light from the stars, and 4 trucks drove over. After all the trucks have driven into the dumping siteJiao Yanxiong immediately arranged for people to intercept the road in the rear, and rushed to the front with a flashlight, stopped the truck, climbed up, and controlled the driver. Subsequently, Jiao Yanxiong actively coordinated with the public security, procuratorate and other departments to accurately determine the responsible person and transfer him to the judicial organs.
At first, we thought that the waste residue was desulfurization gypsum, which belonged to general solid waste. However, Jiao Huan, who has experience in monitoring and is more sensitive, believes that the source of these waste residues is unknown, and proposes to do hazardous waste identification. Lan Mengjie said that sure enough, the results showed that the content of heavy metals such as arsenic, chromium and zinc in the dumped waste residue exceeded the standard.
If these hazardous wastes containing heavy metals are not disposed of in time, they may cause secondary pollution to groundwater and the surrounding ecological environment, and the consequences are unimaginable. Jiao Yanxiong said. In order to prevent pollutants from seeping into the groundwater, Jiao Yanxiong led the team to build a rainwater diversion channel around the dumping pit and cover the dumped residue to prevent rain. Mo Jiangheng recalled that the winter of that year was rainy and the weather was particularly cold.
Only the implementation of the strictest system and the strictest rule of law can provide a reliable guarantee for the construction of ecological civilization. Jiao Yanxiong and his colleagues have taken practical actions to build a solid legal barrier - thanks to their efforts, the criminal suspects have been severely punished, the dumped waste residue has been cleaned up in a timely manner, the contaminated soil has also been treated in a timely manner, and the compensation for ecological damage has been followed up in a timely manner, effectively safeguarding the safety of the ecological environment. This is also the first case in Guangxi to initiate compensation for ecological damage.
A nail is being sharpened
Growing firm
To Jiao Yanxiong's surprise, on the night of the conclusion of this case, an "uninvited guest" came.
In the early morning of that day, Jiao Yanxiong finished working overtime, just drove the car out of the unit, turned right into a small road, and was suddenly stopped by a car. Before he could react, a man picked up a bag of money and threw it in his car. Jiao Yanxiong hurriedly stopped him: "I know you are here for the case, no matter who you look for in this case, you will definitely continue to handle it." The top priority is to solve the problem, you keep the money, and cooperate well with the rectification to really solve the problem. After some kind words and persuasion, the man finally realized his mistake and cooperated to rectify it.
Being on the front line of ecological and environmental administrative law enforcement, Jiao Yanxiong inevitably touches the interests of many people, and also faces various forms of supervision and tests.
In 2016, Jiao Yanxiong discovered a project that had not been approved and built before he carried out special rectification of the timber industry, and he filed a case against the project in accordance with the law and clarified the responsibility for punishment. A project leader came to Jiao Yanxiong's house in the middle of the night and knocked on the door, threatening to "call the police now." This person is one of the leaders of the most important organization in the "6.3 Liujiang Extraordinarily Large Gang Involving Organized Crime and Drugs" a year later in 2017. "At that time, I was really scared and angry, and I didn't dare to let my family know. Although the person in charge finally paid the fine in accordance with the regulations and was also punished by the law in the "6.3" project, Jiao Yanxiong has palpitations every time he recalls this incident.
We must believe in the rule of law, adhere to the rule of law, be a law enforcer who knows the law, understands the law, abides by the law, and is the best law enforcer, stand firm, straighten the backbone, only obey the facts, only obey the law, be selfless, and enforce the law impartially. Whenever he was confused in his heart, Jiao Yanxiong would think of this sentence. In order to protect the clear water and blue sky of the people of Liuzhou, he is willing to be a screw that nails the rule of law!

Physical suffering does not feel bitter, but if the people misunderstand us, that kind of inner suffering is not a taste. Lan Mengjie said that when people don't understand in their work, everyone will also feel aggrieved. Whenever this happens, Jiao Yanxiong will explain them, law enforcers must not be subjective, must respond to the masses' letters and visits, and use more rule of law thinking and rule of law methods to solve problems for the masses.
"The 'Iron Army' is called the 'Iron Army' because it is always sharpened. If you don't polish it, it's easy to rust. Jiao Yanxiong said that the real "iron army" is to be able to withstand hardships and dangers, and to move forward after a hundred setbacks.
An answer sheet is in the details
It warmed the hearts of the people
Why did Liuzhou, an important industrial town in southwest China, win the first "laurel" in water quality for four consecutive years? If someone asks such a question, you might as well look for the answer from Jiao Yanxiong's mirror.
At 4:30 a.m., Jiao Yanxiong got up as usual to read and exercise in the morning. Looking out from the balcony of his house, the Jiuqu River in Liujiang District is in full view. In the morning light, the number of people by the river gradually increased, running, walking, fishing, ......The willows on the shore are still clinging, as if they want to leave people to stop.
A sense of pride and happiness surrounded Jiao Yanxiong. His thoughts couldn't help but go back to 2021 - that year, the second round of ** ecological and environmental protection inspection team was stationed in Guangxi and transferred a letter and visit about "the water body of Jiuqu River within the Liujiang urban area is smelly and the water quality is deteriorating".
Due to the long-term direct discharge of domestic sewage into the river, the Jiuqu River has become a stinky ditch full of water hyacinths. I also keep an old **, which is a couplet posted at the door of the door of the people living by the Jiuqu River, and the four big characters 'return my river clear'. Jiao Yanxiong said that every time he saw this couplet, his face felt hot.
In order to find out the situation of the direct discharge of domestic sewage into the Jiuqu River, Jiao Yanxiong led the law enforcement officers to conduct on-site investigations and visits, and investigated the direct discharge of sewage into the river due to the misconnection and mixing of the domestic sewage pipe network and the rainwater pipe network, the sewage discharge port should not be intercepted, and the leakage of the underground pipe network, etc., and formed a written investigation report.
In order to completely solve the problem of deteriorating water quality of Jiuqu River, the Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee attach great importance to it, and the Liujiang District Party Committee and District Party Committee and District Government have overcome financial difficulties, raised funds and made great efforts to improve the Jiuqu River and the surrounding environment. River dredging, sewage interception at the straight discharge outlet, rectification of the misconnected mixed pipe network, planting and slope protection, ......After nearly a year of remediation, the Jiuqu River has become wider, and the water quality has been raised from the original inferior to the same level.
Whether the ecological environment is good or not, the people have the final say. Jiao Yanxiong showed a ** taken in 2022, and the door of the people's house who once angrily denounced "return my river to Qing", pasted a new couplet that was criticized as "ecological urban and rural", praising **'s efforts to restore the ecology.
Back to the question, why Liuzhou? He who seeks righteousness will be rewarded, and whoever is in the cause of the people will be successful. Liuzhou has taken a detour in its development, and is well aware of the pain of ecological environment destruction, the difficulty of governance, and the difficulty of maintenance, and is more determined to serve the high-quality economic and social development with high-level protection of the ecological environment for the sake of the most inclusive people's livelihood and well-being.
Taking the hearts of the people as his heart, insisting on ecological benefit, ecological benefit, and ecology for the people is the answer sheet handed over by Jiao Yanxiong in practical work.
The bar was so noisy at night that we upstairs residents couldn't sleep. Now that the bar is closed, we can finally get a good night's sleep! A resident of Shanghao Xinyuan in Liujiang District smiled and thanked Jiao Yanxiong.
At that time, after receiving complaints from residents, Jiao Yanxiong led a team to carry out noise monitoring in residents' homes, and monitored them for several days in a row, and determined that there was a problem of excessive noise. After they imposed an administrative penalty on the bar for restricting production, they found that the bar still had problems such as not applying for an entertainment venue business license. Eventually, the bar was closed for its own reasons, and the problem of noise disturbance that plagued the public was solved.
A passion in the mission
Get sublimated
Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and in the protection of the ecological environment, we must calculate the big account, the long-term account, the overall account, and the comprehensive account. Today, Liuzhou writes the ledger in the changes of clear water, green shores, shallow bottoms, and the transformation of enterprises actively seeking green development.
On January 12, the reporter followed Jiao Yanxiong to inspect the quarry in the Huangling area of Liujiang District. I saw that in the quarry, the bare hillside was covered with "green clothes", and the potholes and dirt roads became flat.
A few years ago, the quarry was open-pit mining, using shallow blasting methods, resulting in a large amount of dust, and was named and notified by the autonomous region's ecological and environmental inspection team. In order to fundamentally solve the problem of quarry pollution, Jiao Yanxiong has conducted on-site investigation and research for many times, and took the person in charge of the enterprise to the advanced area to inspect and study, and the person in charge of the enterprise has slowly changed from "passive rectification" to actively carry out the construction of green mines, and has invested more than 20 million yuan to control dust and restore the ecology, and finally become a benchmark for the creation of green mines. The enterprise worker said excitedly: "After working here for so many years, I finally don't have to wear a mask!" ”
Liu Liuping, director of the Limestone Office of Yanglanshan in Huangling City, Liuzhou City, said that under the guidance and help of Jiao Yanxiong, she felt that ecological and environmental law enforcement was not a "one-time punishment", but based on the actual situation of the enterprise, from the perspective of the enterprise to provide help, and to provide hand-in-hand guidance on the rectification of difficult problems.

From beautiful Liuzhou to beautiful China, Jiao Yanxiong's steps to protect the ecological environment have never stopped. In 2023, Jiao Yanxiong will travel to other places for more than 180 days, participate in the national air quality improvement supervision and assistance action three times, and successively go to Xianyang, Shaanxi, Yuncheng and Yangquan in Shanxi, and Baoding, Hebei Province to conduct off-site assistance and law enforcement inspections. For Jiao Yanxiong's busyness, Jiao Yanxiong's wife not only feels distressed, but also fully understands and supports, "The children adore and like their father, and he will take advantage of the time at home to compensate the family." ”
Comrade Jiao Yanxiong is an outstanding representative of the tens of thousands of administrative and law enforcement personnel in Liuzhou City. In recent years, Liuzhou City has always taken the people as the center of the administrative law enforcement work and the end point, administrative law enforcement adhere to strict law enforcement and guidance services pay equal attention, the people's satisfaction and trust in administrative law enforcement continues to rise. Chen Lan, deputy director of the Liuzhou Municipal Bureau of Justice, said.
At present, Liuzhou, as the largest industrial city in Guangxi, regards the promotion of new industrialization and the construction of a modern manufacturing city as the strategic preferred direction of Liuzhou's development, and strives to find a way to break through the situation of "seeking truth from the foundation and seeking change through innovation". Liuzhou, which returns to and continues the fine tradition of heavy industry and strong manufacturing, is speeding up a people-centered, industry-led, harmonious and harmonious development path of people, industry and nature - vigorously promoting the renewal of traditional industries, focusing on promoting the growth of emerging industries, adjusting and optimizing the investment structure and efficiency, accelerating the high-end, intelligent and green development of traditional industries such as automobiles, steel and machinery, and gradually cultivating the "new three" of Liuzhou's industry, developing new quality productivity, and accelerating the construction of green factories. The green park and green ** chain continue to expand the Liuzhou path of transforming lucid waters and lush mountains into gold and silver mountains, so that Liuzhou has a bluer sky, greener mountains, clearer water and a more beautiful environment.
According to the work arrangement, Jiao Yanxiong has been transferred to the deputy head of the Municipal Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment. Comrade Jiao Yanxiong grew up at the grassroots level and has rich experience at the grassroots level, and hopes that he will continue to carry forward the spirit of nailing, impart good experience at the grassroots level, better serve the enterprise and the people, give full play to the demonstration and leading role of advanced models in the new post, rush to the front, work in the front, and hand over a satisfactory answer sheet for the protection of Liuzhou's clear water, blue sky and pure land. Wei Yongxiang, director of the Liuzhou Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, said.
