"I can hold on, leave me alone, send other seriously injured comrades first!" This was the last sentence of Zhang Congshun during his lifetime.

He was a policeman at Junnong Township Police Station. After so many years, talking about the old director, this man who is close to knowing the destiny can’t help it. Choked up.
On the evening of August 31, 1994, Zhang Congshun, who visited the villages in the area under his jurisdiction, received intelligence that a drug trafficker had to pass through Xuangang Bridge, Jun Nong Township, carrying a large quantity of drugs.
He immediately called the Zhenkang County Public Security Bureau to report, and immediately led two policemen, Lu Yujun and Yang Xuehua, to Xuangang Bridge 5 kilometers away by tractor, and cooperated with the county Public Security Bureau police to set up an ambush where the drug dealers must pass.
At 1:50 am on September 1, when the drug dealer entered the ambush ring, according to the scheduled plan, the drug police officer Li Yunfeng rushed out first, hugged the drug dealer and overturned him to the ground. Zhang Congshun and other 6 people quickly rushed to assist in the arrest. When everyone was about to handcuff the drug dealer, Li Yunfeng suddenly shouted: "It smells like gunpowder!" As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud "bang" and the grenade exploded under the drug dealer's left body.
Suddenly, the drug dealer was killed on the spot, and 5 policemen fell in a pool of blood.
Lu Yujun, who was spared from the injury, turned on the flashlight and saw Zhang Congshun’s left calf muscles exploded and blood was flowing. He hurriedly took off his shoelaces to tie up the wound.
Zhang Congshun couldn't take care of his injuries and said to him: "Which comrades are hurting?" "Don't panic, I'm not badly hurt. Go and help other people."
When the jeep of the county bureau drove over, Zhang Congshun insisted on sending his comrades first, "Don't worry about me, send the serious injuries first!" The jeep immediately sent away the two wounded.
When the second jeep arrived, Zhang Congshun endured the severe pain and said with strong fighting spirit: "I can hold on, leave me alone, send the other seriously injured comrades!" The jeep took away the two wounded.
Later, the villagers found a tractor to jolt Zhang Congshun to the hospital. In the end, he died heroically due to excessive blood loss.

"Among the 5 injured, 3 were seriously injured and 2 were slightly injured. Zhang Congshun was one of the serious injuries, but he gave his hope of life to his comrades again and again and left himself in the end." Lu Yujun choked.
In the year Zhang Congshun sacrificed his life, Zhang Ziquan was only 10 years old.
When he was young, he cried and said, “As soon as I saw my father’s picture, I wanted to cry.” And many years later, Zhang Ziquan and his brothers Zhang Zicheng and Zhang Zibing all inherited his father’s legacy, put on police uniforms, and guarded his father. Of this hot land.
“More often it’s logical. I didn’t choose this path deliberately. I felt like I was going to be a policeman.” In the documentary "Three Heroes" organized by the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department on Ching Ming Festival in 2020, Zhang Ziquan, who was still unable to appear at the time, Said.

At the end of 2017, when investigating a drug trafficking case involving a gang that produced K powder raw materials, Zhang Ziquan took the initiative to ask for it and went overseas to conduct makeup investigations for many times.
For the last time, he and his comrades in the virgin forest outside the country, sleeping and sleeping in disguise and investigating, squatting hard for more than 20 days, finally found a drug manufacturing den.
In the end, under the unified command and deployment of the Ministry of Public Security, the arrest operation successfully closed the net, arresting more than 30 criminal suspects and seizing more than 40 tons of drug-making products.
"Anti-narcotics work must not only be fearless, but also often have to fight wits and courage with criminals." Guo Hua, leader of the Investigation Brigade of the Precursor Drug Dispensing Unit of the Anti-drug Detachment, said that Zhang Ziquan was courageous and strategic in the investigation of the case and could always find another way. Find a breakthrough.
In April 2012, in a case of smuggling and transporting drug preparations, the location of the goods could not be determined due to inaccurate information.
When the case was at a loss, Zhang Ziquan proposed: "We need to find porters to unload the goods. We can start with porters."

In an interview he accepted before his death, Zhang Ziquan They all said calmly: "My assessment of myself is that I am a qualified policeman."
"It's not time to rest"
On November 4, 2020, the public security agency seized a suspicious foreign woman from a commercial vehicle coming from the border during a public investigation.
After testing, the woman was asymptomatic infected with new coronary pneumonia.
Through interrogation, a cross-border criminal gang was dug up.
What’s more disturbing is that the woman had lived with the main figures of the criminal gang for many days in Mengding Town, Gengma County, Lincang City, and her footprints involved multiple places in the town. If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, the consequences will be clarified. Unimaginable.
The facts of the case are major and complicated, and are related to the security of the frontiers, the prevention and control of the epidemic, and the safety of people's lives.
Mengding Town has entered a state of emergency, and the entire town has implemented closed management, all staff have been tested for nucleic acid, and the front line of the border has been completely closed.
The Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department instructed the Lincang City Public Security Bureau to immediately check the clues, and the Lincang City and County public security organs immediately mobilized elite police to form a task force.
For the first time in several years, Zhang Ziquan, who applied for a public holiday to take his daughter out for a trip, resolutely cancelled the vacation and joined the task force.
After careful investigation, the task force successfully captured the main suspect, and the case has made initial progress.
However, in order to cut off the entire criminal chain and prevent the spread of the epidemic, the task force must also obtain information on the upstream and downstream of the criminal gang through interrogation.
However, due to the strong anti-investigation awareness of the main criminal suspect captured, two groups of police interrogated them and found nothing.
At this time, Zhang Ziquan took the initiative to ask Ying to be responsible for the interrogation of this "key person".
In Mengding at that time, the temperature was as high as 30 degrees Celsius. In order to prevent cross-infection, the airtight interrogation room could not be air-conditioned.
Zhang Ziquan and his comrades wore thick and stuffy protective clothing and diapers, and plunged into the interrogation room for interrogation.
Turning around day and night, fighting against the suspect.

After as many as 17 interrogations, the main criminal suspect’s psychological defense line was breached little by little, and the key information of the extended investigation was truthfully explained-in the name of part-time job or marriage introduction, the driver was organized to adopt a segmented transportation method. Many foreign women bypassed the border to avoid the card and deceived them to hide in Mengding Town, and then waited for the opportunity to be sent to the mainland in batches.
Seize the opportunity and pursue the victory.
In order to find out the key facts of the gang’s organizational structure, distribution of interests, and personnel flow, Zhang Ziquan raced against the clock, risking the risk of being infected, and went to the front line of the border to understand the situation, drawing a road map day and night, and sorting out the contacts, trajectories and funds of the people involved Clues such as flow direction.
With the unremitting efforts of Zhang Ziquan and his comrades in arms, the task force quickly found out the activity tracks of 3 foreign asymptomatic infected persons and 227 close contacts, and found 7 foreign women who were hiding.
The case made a breakthrough, but Zhang Ziquan's body lit up with a "red light."
Colleague Tang Haifeng regretfully recalled that on the evening of November 22, Zhang Ziquan, who had just walked out of the interrogation room, turned pale and sweated. Everyone urged him to take time off and go home to rest and attend a physical examination by the unit.
He waved his hand and said, "I'm more familiar with this case before it's time to rest. Let's talk about it when the case is over."
On November 30, in order to crack down on cross-border criminal gangs across the chain and completely block the risk of the inward flow of the epidemic, the Lincang Public Security Bureau sent 20 police officers to form a working group to conduct investigations and arrests in five places in Anhui Province.
On December 1, Zhang Ziquan and his seven comrades in arms set off from Mengding in an emergency, traveled to Lincang, Kunming, Anhui and other places, and arrived at Xiaoxian, Suzhou City at 9 o'clock on the 3rd. They quickly docked with the local police, analyzed the case in depth, and made careful decisions. Capture plan.
With the full cooperation of the local police, they arrested 6 persons involved in the case in Xiao County.
However, two people involved in the case were missing.
"We must penetrate the entire chain and thoroughly eradicate criminal dens." At this moment, investigating a case is a contest of life and death, and Zhang Ziquan dare not stop for a moment.
However, 26 consecutive days of high-intensity work has greatly exceeded his physical and mental burden, and the illness is quietly approaching.
On the evening of the 3rd, after finishing the arrest, Zhang Ziquan and his colleagues returned to the hotel and continued to study and discuss the case.
At about 23:00, during more than 4 hours of discussion, Zhang Ziquan suddenly fell to the ground, his face turned pale, his breathing was weak, and his consciousness lost.
The colleague immediately rescued and dialed 120. After more than 40 minutes of rescue, the weak heartbeat recovered. However, due to prolonged ischemia and hypoxia, the brain was severely edema and continued to be in a state of "brain death". He was subsequently transferred to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University rescue.
At 19:00 on December 15th, Zhang Ziquan's extremely weak breathing and pulse finally stopped beating due to the ineffective rescue.

Zhang Ziquan used his last perseverance to hand in a qualified answer sheet to the party and the people. In the major transnational and trans-provincial cases involving "11·04", the police arrested 47 criminal suspects and seized and frozen 20 accounts. The funds involved in the case were 1.57 million yuan, and 6 criminal dens were destroyed, completely cutting off the risk of influx, spread, and spread of the epidemic.
