Protect the people

In the office of the Xiangyang Railway Public Security Department of the Wuhan Railway Public Security Bureau, Jiang Shan is concentrating on a case report. As a loyal people's policeman, she always keeps in mind her duty and mission - to protect the lives and safety of the people.

Whenever Jiang Shan puts on that iconic police uniform and puts on a pistol, she always thinks of that terrible night: the devastating flood of 1998, the death of her relatives, the destruction of her home, and her only reliance is to cling to the big branch.

Looking back, she still can't believe how lucky she was to survive.

The scene of that night seemed to replay before her eyes: her thin body trembled stiffly, watching her grandmother and parents swept away by the floodwaters. Her hands clung to the trunk until it was bloodied.

The fear in her heart almost consumed her, but she did her best to persevere, waiting for the arrival of the hero.

Whenever Jiang Shan witnessed too many fresh lives being taken away in an instant, she would feel very sad. It was the devastating flood that made her determined to be an honorable policeman to protect the lives of others and prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

Floods are approaching

Jiayu County in 1998 is a quiet village nestled on the Yangtze River. Jiang Shan lives here and lives an ordinary and happy life.

Her parents were toiling in the fields, sweat soaking through their clothes. When the sun goes down, they return home tired, always with a smile of relief on their faces.

Jiang Shan will take the initiative to step forward to beat her parents' shoulders and help them unload the day's work.

Jiang Shan and her grandmother's relationship is also dependent on each other. Whenever it rained, she would stay at home obediently and listen to her grandmother tell those warm and interesting stories. Her grandmother always told her, "Son, don't run around the river, it's a raging Yangtze River."

But Jiang Shan was curious about the vast river, and she longed to swim in it one day.

Soon, the adults had a premonition of the impending disaster. The rainy season that year was unusually long, with unprecedented heavy rains ravaging the entire Yangtze River basin. Whenever her parents returned from the fields full of anxiety, Jiang Shan would snuggle up to her kind grandmother, forgetting the damp and cold of the outside world for a while.

However, no one could have predicted that this heavy rain would turn into a once-in-a-millennium flood.

Jiang Shan miraculously survived

It was the dark night of August 1, 1998, Jiang Shan's family was watching a TV program, the sky was gloomy, and the wind and rain outside were getting stronger and stronger.

The bad news was like a bolt from the blue, and Jiang Shan's parents and grandmother were stunned. By the time they came to their senses, the flood had engulfed their homes and their entire villages.

Jiang Shan's parents and siblings were swept away by the raging flood and disappeared without a trace.

The situation is getting worse and worse, and seeing is saving.

Before she could finish speaking, a huge wave rolled in, sweeping her grandmother into a monstrous torrent. Jiang Shan shouted loudly in horror, but there was no response. She could only follow her grandmother's instructions, cling to the big tree, and let the torrential rain rage.

The dark and silent night enveloped the entire land, and Jiang Shan's mood was extremely hesitant. She tried to keep her eyes open, only to see rows of homes razed to the ground. The wind and rain slapped on her face, and she was soaking wet, and her teeth chattered.

The deafening roar of the flood was in your ears, and the images were thrilling as far as the eye could see.

But Jiang Shan didn't give up, she hugged the big tree with all her might, slipped down for a moment from time to time and climbed up with difficulty. Exhaustion caused her to fall into a stupor several times, but her grandmother's advice was nailed to her heart like a nail in her heart, and she opened her eyes again and persevered.

Rescuer Wang Minghua

When the dawn first appeared, when Jiang Shan was exhausted, rescue finally came.

Without hesitation, they rode their horses and whipped through many dangers, and finally arrived at the tree where Jiang Shan was.

Jiang Shan snuggled tightly into the strange uncle's broad chest, and finally burst into tears. Years of fear, helplessness, and loneliness poured out at this moment.

She cried so heartbreakingly, but she was so happy and relieved.

This scene, many years later, Jiang Shan recalled it, and her heart still couldn't calm down for a long time. It is the heroic and fearless struggle of Wang Minghua and his comrades-in-arms that she can regain her life and be fortunate to be able to come to this day.

For their kindness, Jiang Shan will find it difficult to repay them for the rest of her life.

Finally got my wish

After regaining her life, Jiang Shan realized the preciousness of life. Although the catastrophe brought her endless pain, it also made her realize the importance of protecting her life.

She secretly decided that she must repay Uncle Wang Minghua and her comrades-in-arms for saving their lives by repaying their kindness.

Since then, Jiang Shan's goal in life is to become a glorious people's policeman, to save more lives, and not to let similar tragedies happen again. This ambition is not a childhood idiot, but the greatest pursuit in her heart.

The young vow finally became a reality with Jiang Shan's efforts for more than 20 years. After unremitting struggle, she was admitted to the Xiangyang Railway Public Security Department of the Wuhan Railway Public Security Bureau and started her police career.

I still clearly remember that when Jiang Shan put on the brand-new police uniform, she had mixed feelings in her heart. She told herself that this was not only the realization of her dream, but also the beginning of a noble mission.

From now on, she must follow the example of Uncle Wang Minghua, always remember the identity of the people's soldiers, and do her best to protect the lives and safety of the people.

Express gratitude

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is a day more than 20 years later. Jiang Shan, as an excellent police officer, was invited to participate in the recording of a TV show. At the scene, she saw the former life-saving benefactor - Wang Minghua again.

However, Wang Minghua in front of him is no longer the young and heroic firefighter in his memory. He was dressed in casual clothes, and the years had carved a calm mark on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, but the familiar gaze and expression made Jiang Shan feel as if time had returned to the dark night of 1998.

When Jiang Shan saw Wang Minghua on the stage, the ecstasy and shock in her heart were indescribable. She straightened up and saluted the benefactor with the most solemn gesture, every movement full of infinite reverence for him.

Facing the family-like benefactor who loved her life, Jiang Shan had mixed feelings, and tears rolled in her eyes. She recalled the self who was hugged in Wang Minghua's arms and cried hysterically many years ago, and her heart was full of infinite gratitude.

Only after experiencing the moment of life and death can we experience the continuous family affection between each other.

Wang Minghua also returned Jiang Shan's military salute with a calm and powerful movement. The two of them don't need to say much, they have a good heart. Their bloodlines have long been integrated, with one heart and one mind, and they share the same responsibility of maintaining peace and saving lives.

The former life-savers and the current police uphold the glorious tradition of the people's soldiers with their practical actions.

Hold on to your beliefs

At that moment of reunion, Jiang Shan's mind came up with the words of her seven-year-old grandmother, which was the last admonition of her life. She remembered how desperate, helpless, and frightened she was in that dark night, but how she tried her best to survive and wait for the hero to come.

It was the cherishing of life and the persistence of faith that allowed Jiang Shan to be reborn. They were like a ray of light that gave her strength and courage in the dark night. Today, she has grown into a strong and brave people's policeman, but that unforgettable experience will always be engraved in her heart.

A moment of looking back can often wake up the person in the dream and realize the preciousness of life. It's like a mirror that reflects the deepest truth in everyone's heart.

The development of life is a tortuous road, but as long as we stick to our beliefs and move forward bravely, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and obstacles.

For Jiang Shan, this experience is both a mark of the past and a driving force for the future. She vowed to spread the life-saving spirit passed on to her by Uncle Wang Minghua.

Draw strength from that pure heart and contribute your life's energy to the post of the people's soldiers.

What that catastrophe brought to Jiang Shan was not only a life lesson, but also a firm belief in it. She will always remember the fear of that night, the desire to live, and the courage of the heroes to come to the rescue.

All this will forever spur her to be unswerving and courageous on the road of serving the people.
