Although her life has long been fulfilled, the only regret is that she is still single. What is the reason for this high-quality woman to be single for many years? What kind of skills does she rely on to gain a foothold in the bodyguard circle? Has she ever had any outstanding records? Let's walk into today's story and explore the past of the legendary female bodyguard Bian Mei.
Won the third place in the beauty pageant. In 1993, a "Miss Beijing" beauty contest was held in Beijing, and the contestants began to prepare carefully and decided to perform well on stage, hoping to become famous. Every girl was dressed very beautifully, but one of them was dressed in a military uniform, and looking at the appearance of this girl gave people a sense of being able and clean, someone asked her: "Why do you wear a military uniform in a beauty pageant?" She replied: "Because I think the military uniform is the most beautiful, and only by wearing the military uniform can I have the confidence to participate in this competition." In this way, she became the only bit of green among the flowers. Soon this girl in military uniform will go on the catwalk, her demeanor is dignified and atmospheric, and she has a hint of femininity. The audience gave warm applause, and the judges gave high recognition. In this way, the girl in military uniform won the third runner-up of "Miss Beijing", and after the game, everyone knew that this girl was called Bian Mei. But what they don't know is that Bian Mei has another identity.
The stereotype left in many people's minds is that the bodyguard profession should be done by men. Generally dressed in a suit, tall and big, with a lot of fighting skills, Bian Mei's body shape and appearance don't look like a bodyguard. But Bian Mei is not only a bodyguard, but even the first female bodyguard in China, the kind that specializes in protecting the head of state. The data shows that Bian Mei has protected 13 heads of state such as the wife of the Japanese prime minister and the Indian prime minister, and her ability can be imagined.
But if you want to become a bodyguard of this level, you must work a hundred times more difficult than ordinary people. How did she endure the unbearable suffering of these men?
The beginning of a legend, inheriting his father's work.
Bian Mei was born in 1968 in Beijing, the capital of Beijing, where her father was a security guard for a senior Beijing leader and a bodyguard. Since she was a child, Bian Mei has been exposed to what her father has done, and has a strong yearning for the profession of bodyguard. When she was a child, Bian Mei didn't have the pretentiousness of other girls, and there were no toys such as fairy skirts and Barbie babies, but she especially liked some toy guns. When she was a child, she never liked to watch some TV shows that girls like to watch, such as "Huanzhu Gege", but loved to watch police movies and action movies. Her father saw Bian Mei's love for martial arts movements, so he often taught Bian Mei some fighting moves in his spare time, and gradually she liked this feeling, and the dream of becoming a bodyguard was also buried in Bian Mei's heart. When she was a child, Bian Mei excelled in her studies. Whether it is junior high school or high school, Bian Mei can lean on the front of the class, and Bian Mei not only has good academic performance, but is also loved by classmates and teachers. She has a cheerful and generous personality and has been confessed by many young boys.
With the passage of time, Bian Mei was admitted to the China Police University and chose the senior security major, fulfilling her childhood dream. After entering the school, the high-intensity training and systematic professional knowledge learning made Bian Mei feel that she had not come to the wrong place. One day, when Bian Mei returned to the dormitory after training in the afternoon, she found that her left leg was a little swollen and painful. Because it was too late at night, I didn't want to trouble my roommate, so I endured the severe pain and went to sleep. When it was dawn, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went to the hospital for an examination only to find that my left leg had been fractured, and I thought I could rest for a while. When she told the teacher the news of her broken left leg, the teacher not only did not feel distressed, but asked Bian Mei to practice her arms, and Bian Mei was very aggrieved at that time.
The teacher said to Bian Mei: "Remember, it is the leader that you will protect in the future." So Bian Mei didn't say anything more, and went straight into training. Many male students did not stick to the training, Bian Mei practiced one by one, and whenever the end of the semester was tested, Bian Mei came out with the first place. When she was in school, she did not let up at all, she practiced judo, boxing and shooting, and also studied international law. In 1988, Bian Mei graduated from the China Police University with excellent grades and was assigned to work in the security department of the Ministry of Foreign Guests.
It is worth mentioning that there is only one woman in the entire Foreign Guest Department, Bian Mei, and the task of the Foreign Guest Department is to protect the dignitaries who come to China. Bian Mei thinks that the burden on her shoulders is very heavy, so she works harder to practice her martial arts skills and learn some related knowledge. She cut off her long hair and left it at the shoulder level, and she was a beautiful sight in the foreign guest department at that time. Bian Mei's first job was to protect Naoko Takeshita, the wife of the Japanese Prime Minister. On the first mission, Bian Mei was excited and nervous, maintaining a high degree of vigilance throughout the whole process, and did not dare to relax in the slightest. After the mission, the corners and neckline of Bian Mei's clothes were soaked with sweat. But after this work experience, Bian Mei has gradually become stable.
From July 1988 to April 1992, Bian Mei protected the safety of the heads of state of 13 countries and their accompanying families. Among them, including the United States, India, Italy, Japan, Thailand, etc., for Bian Mei, this work is an affirmation of her efforts over the years, some people think that this kind of work is not suitable for a woman to do, this job is very difficult, so Bian Mei needs to have a higher quality to be competent. Because internationally, assassinations of leaders are frequent. For example, the assassination of Lincoln in the United States, the assassination of Garfield in the United States, etc., so the position of bodyguard is quite high-risk.
But the high stakes of this profession also come with honor, and it is a great honor to be able to walk side by side with heads of state and communicate in your free time. Bian Mei is well aware of the dangers of this profession, so she carries a small pistol with her, even when she sleeps, she will press under the pillow, and when necessary, Bian Mei will wear body armor. Once Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand came to China, and it was Bian Mei who protected her.
When the Thai princess saw Bian Mei for the first time, she thought that the delicate and thin girl in front of her couldn't protect herself at all, and seriously doubted Bian Mei's ability. But Sirindhorn soon dispelled this idea: Sirindhorn traveled around during his visit to China, once riding a camel in Dunhuang, Gansu Province. Sirindhorn was in a hurry to play, so he didn't prepare for it, and after riding on the back of a camel, Sirindhorn was very nervous. It didn't take long for Sirindhorn to fall off the back of the camel, but fortunately, Bian Mei was quick and jumped off her camel and caught Sirindhorn who had fallen. Sirindhorn has never doubted Bian Mei's abilities since then, and in her spare time, she chatted with her about family life, and the two became good friends.
In addition to Sirindhorn, former Soviet leader Gorbachev's wife Lysha also praised Bian Mei. Laisha has a ** disease, that is, low back pain, during a trip to the Great Wall, Laisha has a lot of pain in his lower back. Seeing this, Bian Mei hurriedly took out the two soft cushions prepared in advance and put them on Laisha's back, such a small detail made Laisha's goodwill towards Bian Mei multiply it. After returning to the Soviet Union, Lysha sent Bian Mei a photo of the two on the Great Wall, along with Lysha's signature.
Another time, when protecting Mrs. Italy, a reporter did not understand etiquette, so in order to have a better shooting position, he squeezed to Mrs. Italy. Bian Mei repeatedly reminded that this reporter just didn't listen, and finally Bian Mei directly blocked the camera with her arm and warned the reporter verbally, hoping to show foreign friends the quality of the Chinese people. After the reporter heard this, he never filmed again.
Bian Mei left the bodyguard profession and still shined. There was once a foreigner who wanted Bian Mei to be his bodyguard and promised Bian Mei a gold mine, but Bian Mei refused without thinking. She said: "I am Chinese, this is my homeland, and I will protect this place all my life." As Bian Mei grew older, she gradually couldn't adapt to such a high-intensity work, so she decided to retire and change jobs.
She turned into a business and opened a real estate trading center with a friend. Today, her worth has already exceeded hundreds of millions of yuan.
