He Shujun is an ordinary female policeman, in the provincial public security department"Criminal Investigation Team"Job. She had a quiet work and family life. 12-year-old son Li Fei has a good relationship with her, Li Fei usually rides a bicycle to the park on weekends, and will take the initiative to chat with his mother after school and ask her when she will get off work.
On the morning of 10 September 2000, He Shujun was in the suburbs to participate in a closed centralized training for his unit, and he could not apply for leave. On this day, after Li Fei came home from school as usual, he called his mother and asked her when she would come back.
He Shujun replied that it might take another 20 days, which made Li Fei a little disappointed. This ** became the last conversation between the mother and son.
At 11 o'clock in the evening after Li Fei's disappearance, Li Fei's little uncle suddenly came to the door and asked Li Fei if he had been here. In the early morning of the next day, she hurried home and learned that Li Fei's whereabouts were unknown and he had been missing for a day and a night.
She hurriedly called the police to organize a police search, but Li Fei disappeared without a trace.
So far, an ordinary female policeman has started her extraordinary 22-year long journey of searching for her son. She has changed from a responsible policewoman, an ordinary woman who is a wife and a mother, to an iron-boned and tender child-seeking mother who is concerned by the people of the whole country.
When He Shujun hurried home and learned that Li Fei was missing, her heart instantly collapsed, full of remorse and self-blame as a mother, and also burst out of her responsibility as a people's policeman.
She was annoyed that she didn't ask for leave from the unit at that time and missed the last opportunity to communicate with her son. She regretted that she was too focused on her work and did not fulfill her responsibility to get along with her son.
At this moment, she just wanted to see Li Fei immediately, hug him, and tell him that his mother would love him forever.
At the same time, she also quickly gave full play to the advantages of being a policeman, called the police as soon as possible, and personally led the team to organize a large number of police forces to search the whole city of Jiaozuo, where Li Fei disappeared, looking for possible clues.
She also couldn't stop praying in her heart, hoping to find Li Fei's whereabouts as soon as possible.
However, after several days of intensive searching, Li Fei's trace was still nowhere to be found. **'s search soon reached a bottleneck, and the case had to be put on hold for the time being. He Shujun's heart was like a knife, she was unwilling to give up, and decided to continue to search for her son in private.
Because, deep in her heart, there is not only the affection and grief of being a mother, but also the professional glory of a female police officer, she can't accept the fact that she can't find her son.
This has become a firm driving force for her to continue to look for Li Fei in the long years to come.
Three years after Li Fei's disappearance, He Shujun expanded the search from the entire city of Jiaozuo to the Taihang Mountains. Because Jiaozuo is adjacent to the mountains, she is worried about whether Li Fei will get lost in the mountains.
Every weekend, she would go deep into the Taihang Mountains alone, bring water and food, visit villages and towns, and leave missing person notices. She once got lost in the mountains and forests, lighting tree branches to barely keep warm; She was once woken up by an owl in the middle of the night and had trouble sleeping all night; She even encountered a poisonous snake that suddenly fell from a tree, and she was so frightened that she desperately stoned it to death.
After six years of searching in the mountains to no avail, He Shujun understood that Li Fei was most likely not here. She rekindled her hope and set out for a wider range – she took an overnight bus to all parts of Henan.
In order to save money, she often stands guard in places with many wanderers such as train stations and bus stations, hoping to meet Li Fei.
He Shujun moved to many surrounding cities, and even entered neighboring provinces. In order to spend a few more days in each city to find it, she often chose to spend the night in the underpasses. She also cooperated with the police to find a number of boys of the same age and appearance as Li Fei and conduct DNA tests, but the results made her desperate again - none of them were her sons.
In the face of successive failures, He Shujun's heart was like a knife, and tears were like rain. Whenever she took out her son's childhood ** that she carried with her, she regained hope and told herself that she must find Li Fei back.
In March 2019, He Shujun retired emeritus from the public security organ. After retirement, she can finally stop scruples and devote herself to the career of finding Li Fei.
She first made a set of special child-seeking clothes printed with Li Fei's information, with her *** printed on the back Then, she registered a Douyin short** account, and began to upload Li Fei's **, age characteristics and other information on the platform, and recorded the bits and pieces she has been looking for over the years, hoping to get more attention and help from Internet users.
To her surprise, in just a few days, the number of fans on her account exceeded 100,000, and a large number of netizens took the initiative to send her possible clues about Li Fei every day.
He Shujun felt a long-lost relief, which gave her the strength to continue searching. In addition, some non-profit organizations have also contacted her to provide more professional technical support.
He Shujun wittily thought that maybe not only Li Fei was lost alone, but there were more children with the same fate as her son. So she created a larger poster with information about more than 30 missing children she had been found.
She began to set up child-seeking stalls in crowded places such as train stations and parks around the country, looking for possible clues.
After 20 years of traveling, He Shujun's hair has been dyed white by the years, and the corners of her eyes are full of wrinkles, but her desire to find a child has never changed. She still believes that with the help of the Internet and more kind people, she will definitely be able to finally get together with Li Fei.
In the long process of searching for his son, He Shujun was not all smooth sailing. She suffered a double blow in life and feelings, which became a test of her perseverance.
Years of fruitless search have left her family financially in dire straits. All her savings had been depleted, and in 2010 she had to sell her only property. Her husband accompanied her at first, but later advised her not to run out of what she had left.
The two often quarrel over this. Later, the husband also threatened to divorce, and he could no longer bear such days.
He Shujun herself thought about giving up in despair, but every time she saw Li Fei's childhood, she made up her mind to continue searching. She can't accept that her own flesh and blood have disappeared from the world like this, and it is her responsibility to find him back home.
It is this kind of motherhood that has supported her through more than 20 spring and autumn periods. Despite the fact that her gray hair is full and her life is destitute, she is still on the road and still searching.
In her heart, she still believes that one day she can hug Li Fei.
As an ordinary woman, she not only shouldered the responsibility of a mother, but also embodied great female strength. It is this kind of power that allows people to see the extraordinaryness of an extraordinary policewoman, which is worth learning from everyone.
