Persistence:

The first lesson of the national gate experience, he spitted from head to tail on the boat

KomiksFeng, the captain of the first team stationed in Shuidong Port, Maoming Border Inspection Station. He is also the oldest policeman in the team, known as the “living map” of the port area. Liang Feng has several docks and berths in the port area, and where is the location, he knows it well; the countries where the crew members of the frequent entry and exit ports come from, and what are the characteristics of the Cinema characteristics of the certificate… Liang Feng has long been familiar with these business data. When he went to sea to work, facing the nearly seven-hour voyage back and forth, the policeman who had just arrived was so angry that he was able to handle it easily.

Liang Feng led the team to the “single point” tanker on duty

Back 17 years ago, when he was just assigned to the unit, he was not facing such a situation.

At that time, because the unit where he was located was responsible for the duty task of the only 300,000-ton single-point floating-tube crude oil loading and unloading system in the country (hereinafter referred to as “single-point”), whenever a new police arrived, “single-point” service naturally became the first lesson of the national experience.

“The 3-hour voyage was vomiting from beginning to end, and in the end I towed and pulled him onto the big ship.” Chen Qingyang, the policeman who took Liang Feng out for the first time, still remembered the scene at that time. BabaylanAlthough it was difficult for even to stand firm, and after returning, he went to the hospital for two days to get a drip, Liang Feng, who was a newcomer, still insisted on itCinema became a task.

He was born with the idea of ​​not giving up, so in the following year, he took the initiative to apply for all “single-point” services, setting a record of more than 110 days in a year.

From the beginning of “darkness” to gradually adapting, Liang Feng defeated his physiological reactions with his uncomfortable experiences, and his superb professional level has also been improved through repeated duty. “Now, no matter how bad the sea conditions are, I am not seasick, and these are all exercised at that time. “Liang Feng said proudly.  

In fact, more than 95% of the police working here have such “seasy” experiences, but everyone is proud to be able to perform “single-point” duties. “This is the ‘Great Wall’ of our Maoming border inspectors. If you don’t have the Great Wall, you will not be a hero. “Liang Feng explained. Enjoy happiness in suffering, the harder it is, the more forward it is, and complete the task first. This is the spiritual source that supports them to persevere.

Dedication:

Drawn into “Dabai” during the epidemic, using more eye drops than disinfectant

In early 2020, the sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic disrupted the rhythm of work in the team. From the beginning of unknowns, tension to calm response, every change embodies the double overlap of tears and sweat of the police.

Due to the need for epidemic prevention and control, every police officer must wear full protective equipment and transform into “Dabai” wrapped tightly. In the hot summer, wearing thick protective clothing on duty, one stop for two or three hours, and the body is coming out of the Komiks sweat soaked their clothes in a short while; in winter, due to the temperature difference, the exhaled heat will cover the originally clear goggles with a layer of fog.

When going through the entry and exit procedures, the police need to stare at the screen with blurred goggles for a long time. Every time the inspection is completed, the police’s eyes are sore and even red and swollen. Police often have fun.He said, every time he puts it frequently, he uses more eye drops than disinfectant.

Personal torture is a test compared to physical fatigue. According to work regulations, police officers who have completed high-risk positions in Cinema need to be isolated for a period of time to reduce the risk of the epidemic.

Late one night in August last year, Luo Jian, a police officer who was quarantined, suddenly received an emergency call from his wife who was pregnant at home: “My stomach hurts so much, it’s uncomfortable.” The wife’s pre-pregnancy test showed that the fetal position was incorrect, and Luo Jian couldn’t help but worry. Fortunately, his colleague Komiks helped him to send his wife to the hospital in time, and he was not seriously injured after the examination. At this time, Luo Jian, who was worried all night, dared to close his eyes and rest for a while. “Husband, you have a great responsibility and work with peace of mind. My baby and I are doing well.” His wife’s message made him feel guilty and moved.

Babaylan Workplace is only 40 minutes away from his home, but during the epidemic, due to work and isolation, Luo Jian and his family often only need to meet each other for a week or two. Every time I go out for a service, my wife always encourages him with a sentence like “You guard the country, I think KomiksKomiks‘s good family.” It is precisely because of the encouragement of his family that Luo Jian always rushes to register for the first time in various urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks.

“I have a lighter burden at home, but I can take more work.” Every time I sign up, Babaylanhe can always give his own “reason”. Everyone knows that Luo Jian’s family is “not very good” at all, so when he encounters difficulties, his colleagues also rushed to help as soon as possible, and used this “tactic understanding” of mutual help to condense into the “code” of this collective combat power.

Reunion:

The national gate is guarding the foot of Hutou Mountain. He hopes that his wife and children will come to “reverse reunion” during the Spring Festival

Every year during the Spring Festival, the police stationed here always have various New Year wishes: some receive greetings from home, and some eat some specialties from their hometown…

For policeman Yi Jianfeng, he is more looking forward to one more thing: the arrival of his wife and children.

After working for many years, “local” Yi Jianfeng went home Babaylan has been at the least in the team. “I want to see my family at any time. It’s rare for colleagues from other places to see each other once a year.” Before the New Year, he gave up the opportunity to take the New Year’s vacation early, and it became the routine for his wife and children to go to the duty point to “reverse reunion”.

As “exchange”, Yi Jianfeng chooses to fulfill a small wish that his wife and children will come to reunite. “I saw the photos taken by Hutou Mountain next to me on Douyin. It just so happened that this year is the Year of the Tiger. Take me to check in.” My wish this year, my wife has thought about it early. “Make sure to do it!” Yi Jianfeng naturally agreed to this simple request. On the day of climbing the mountain with his wife and children, Yi Jianfeng also brought Liu Zhenjie, the “newcomer” who had just been transferred from the frontier to reunite with his wife but also chose to stay on duty.

Stop at the top of the mountain and look down. The magnificent sea view is in full view. Several ships are dotted on the vast sea surface, and the village houses are embedded on the land. Yi Jianfeng, who has been working for many years, is in a good mood.

He pointed to the place where the duty point was and said, “From the distance, we are just a duty point, but we are guarding the entire big port.” “Guardian may be the meaning of our work.”

The two of them started chatting with each other, with a proud smile on their faces unconsciously.
