China News Agency reporter Han Xingtong
Holding a submachine gun, wearing a beret and stepping on black boots, Kong Yina is indeed heroic. It took more than one month to become the chief inspector of the Hong Kong Airport Special Police Unit. With the label of "the first female airport supervisor in years," the appearance of Kong Yina caused the media to flock.
Recently, Kong Yina was interviewed by the China News Service at the airport police station. Across the window, it was a tarmac with occasional slow taxiing. Facing the camera, she sometimes needs to bow her head and meditate, but she always finds the right comparison. She compares herself with the "helmsman", and the police work is actually an enlarged basketball game.
Kong Yina grew up in Kowloon City, and the low-flying airplanes and roars above the roof constitute an important part of her childhood memory. "I remember the day before the relocation of Kai Tak Airport. I climbed the rooftop with my classmates to take pictures of the plane. And want to keep it as a memorial. "From this, she grew into a special complex for the airport, and since then, she has always been on the same road with clear goals.
In 2016, Kong Yina joined the anti-terrorist special service team. After selection and training for several months, she was the only woman. "Women have their own advantages." After all, special forces assess all aspects. Apart from physical fitness, they also value personal tenacity, tactical skills, and adaptability. Three years later, with enough anti-terrorism work experience, Kong Yina waited for her opportunity to apply for the post of chief inspector of the airport special police team. She was selected in one day and created the airport special police team since its establishment in 1977. First.
Tough, like challenges, like team life, is what Kong Yina described to herself. The formation of this character goes back to at least a decade of obsessive basketball. "I understand a lot of truths from basketball. Basketball is a team sport. It's not about how powerful you are. It's about making all the teammates around you play best. It is a truly strong team." This hone the perseverance of repeated defeats to accept the challenge, "I can accept failure, but can not accept not try", analogy, "I will say that police work is actually amplified basketball."
Leading a team of more than 100 male elites, Kong Yina compares herself to the "helmsman". Everyone has strengths, how to know others and be competent, unite the team members, integrate their different qualities into one place, complement each other and support, and even maximize the team. Effectiveness, she is well aware that this will be her future role and also a major challenge.
The epidemic will be carried out in the future, and the responsibility will be great. Referring to previous foreign cases, the airport has always been a place threatened by terrorist attacks. Within a fixed terrain and space, daily cargo and passenger flows are circulating at high speed, lurking in crisis. The haze of the virus has made the mask cover face new normal, and the difficulty of counter-terrorism has continued to increase. "The difficulty of identifying suspicious persons has increased. We need to judge whether the persons concerned are suspicious through facial expressions, movements, clothing and personal belongings." The team patrols the airport area 24 hours a day, keeping an eye on and mastering the latest terrorist attacks, strengthening daily training and joint anti-terrorism exercises.
Kong Yina said that she wanted to add new elements while retaining the 43-year tradition of the airport special police team. She then summarized this idea into three points: "First, review and optimize new equipment in response to the new global counter-terrorism situation; second, hope to expand and enhance the scale and methods of training and drills; third, cooperate with the new development of the airport and prepare for Future direction. "
"As Hong Kong's very important infrastructure, the first door and the first window to the world, the airport is really a place not to be missed." Kong Yina hopes to give visitors a feeling: "Hong Kong airport facilities , First-class service, and very safe. "(End)
