[Feature 146] Siren 111871, please answer
Our reporter Zhang Qiang
The day Li Yong left was the third day of the National Day Golden Week.
The "concentration" of the holiday is approaching its peak, and the usual variety of social news has also been infected and changed. Either the major scenic spots have reached the maximum number of tourists, or the family reunion has something interesting.
In the beginning, news apps pushed the news, and soon the hot search list of social platforms followed up: traffic police Li Yong sacrificed.
In Qingdao City, Shandong Province, many citizens’ pleasant holidays were interrupted by these short six words.
People were shocked at first, and then started to inquire around, or flooded into the comment area of the Qingdao traffic police and Li Yong's own Weibo account for dispelling the rumors.
People who knew Li Yong kept calling him and leaving messages on WeChat.
They can't wait for a reply from the "Lee Team" anymore.
In the early morning of October 3, when Li Yong, the captain of the second squadron of the Tongsan Expressway Brigade, Qingdao Public Security Bureau, was on duty, he fell under a culvert on the expressway in order to protect the personal safety of a driver suspected of drunk driving. Heroic sacrifice, only 55 years old.
For many days after that, Qingdao people's circle of friends can always get news about Li Yong.
In front of the squadron where he worked before and under the culvert where he sacrificed, someone has been silently sending flowers.
On his last Weibo, more than 10,000 people went to leave a message.
Outside of Qingdao, few people know who Li Yong is.
But for people living in this city, the departure of Li Yong is the departure of a good traffic policeman, and even the departure of a good person.

Tian Pengfei first learned of Li Yong when he saw his name in the newspaper about 10 years ago.
"That manuscript covered a large part of an ordinary traffic policeman." At that time, Tian Pengfei was working in the local media in Qingdao. His professional sensitivity made him read the full text carefully. "The manuscript said that the traffic policeman would frequently give the driver a thumbs-up while on duty. He also created 10 gestures to divert traffic or give a silent reminder to the driver."
Not long after that, one morning with heavy rain, Tian Pengfei drove past the intersection of Yanji Road on Shandong Road in Shibei District.
This is the junction of Qingdao's north-south, with more than 500 vehicles passing every minute, and it is recognized as the city's first traffic jam point.
"But on that day, traffic at the intersection was basically smooth." Tian Pengfei stepped on the accelerator lightly, and swept around with his eyes intentionally or unintentionally.
A man in a raincoat trot in the traffic to discourage rushing vehicles and guide the straight-going vehicles to the middle of the intersection ahead of time.
As Tian Pengfei got closer and closer to the "Raincoat Man", in addition to the continuous rain and intermittent whistle sound, a loud voice accompanied the police whistle into his car.
From time to time, the "Raincoat Man" will gesture forward or stop to the vehicle at the head of the line. If the driver comprehends the meaning and obeys it, he will give his thumbs up to show his approval.
Tian Pengfei suddenly realized that this was the person he saw in the newspaper, traffic police Li Yong.
Among the old drivers in Qingdao, not everyone knows Li Yong's name, but if you talk about the running figure at the intersection of Yanji Road, Shandong Road, most people can capture some fragments and pictures from their memories.
In 2009, Li Yong was transferred to the Liaoyuan Road Squadron of Beijing Traffic Police City as the deputy squadron leader.
In the following eight years, he became a moving signpost at the intersection of Yanji Road on Shandong Road, known as the "first post of the Beijing Municipal Brigade".
In Tian Pengfei's words, Li Yong stood there, "not on the road, but on his own stage."
"Blood, flesh and vitality." This is how many Qingdao people commented on Li Yong's state when he was on duty.
"Across the windshield, even if it's just a look, the driver can feel that he is communicating with himself." Netizen "Zhi Lin" said.
In those few years, it was common for motor vehicle drivers to answer the phone, smoke, and not turn on the turn signal as required while driving.
Outside of work, Li Yong created a set of "warm gestures".
Place your right hand like a microphone on your ear, which means you can’t make a phone call while driving; place two fingers beside your mouth to tell the driver to squeeze out the cigarette; open your right hand with five forward fingers to remind you to use the turn signal correctly...it’s been a long time, these Hand gestures have become a signal of tacit understanding between the drivers who often go to and from Yanji Road on Shandong Road and Li Yong, and similar illegal behaviors by drivers have gradually decreased.
One morning in 2014, "Zhi Lin" drove to work in a hurry.
As soon as I left the gate of the community, I saw Li Yong standing in the middle of the road.
"He made a gesture of pulling diagonally from the left shoulder to the right crotch to me, and I realized that I had forgotten to wear the seat belt." Seeing "Zhi Lin" reacted quickly, Li Yong smiled and stood up to him. Thumbs up.
Just once, "Zhi Lin" remembered Li Yong.
Since then, whenever he passes by Li Yong's duty point, he will look a few more times, "Some drivers will deliberately open the car window to greet him, and Li Yong will also respond with a thumbs up."

In 2005, Li Yong, who had served in the army for 19 years, took off his military uniform and put on a police uniform. He became a traffic policeman of the former Sifang Brigade of Qingdao Public Security Bureau's traffic police detachment, with alarm number 111871.
"He carried on the good work style in the army to the police force." Li Yong was in the early stage of the police. Li Guosong, the current deputy captain of the Qingdao Municipal Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Detachment, is the instructor of his squadron.
Speaking of Li Yong, Li Guosong first thought of the rainy day in Qingdao.
Qingdao is rainy in summer, and some roads in the city are low-lying, and the amount of water often exceeds 30 cm.
At such times, Li Yong always said that he had worked as a car soldier, was familiar with wading, and actively requested to perform duties in relevant areas.
In order to speed up the drainage of stagnant water, Li Yong will clear traffic in the water while clearing the blockage on the sewer manhole cover with his bare hands.
"Every time he goes back to the team, there are always deep and shallow scratches on his hands." Li Guosong said.
Li Guosong clearly remembered that during a morning peak in July 2007, heavy rain raided Qingdao. When Li Yong was on duty near the Yanshan overpass in Shibei District, he retrieved more than a dozen washed-out license plates from the stagnant water.
At that time, there was no Weibo or WeChat. Knowing that the car owner had lost his license plate, he was anxious. Li Yong finished his duty and returned to the squadron. He immediately checked the contact information of the car owner corresponding to the license plate number through the database, and then called them one by one to claim it.
Jia Kerui, a traffic policeman who worked with Li Yong in the Liaoyuan Road Squadron, also remembered that on a rainy day, Li Yong suddenly "lost contact" from the walkie-talkie, and no one agreed.
When Jia Kerui arrived at the intersection where Li Yong was on duty, he found him standing in the stagnant water, soaked all over, without realizing that his walkie-talkie was also soaked in water, "As soon as I asked, he was anxious to help a passing driver find a license plate. ".
In 2017, 51-year-old Li Yong was transferred to the traffic police detachment, Tongsan Expressway Brigade, as the squadron leader of the second squadron, responsible for the traffic management of the Shenhai Expressway between 617 kilometers + 500 meters to 645 kilometers + 500 meters and a total of 28 kilometers. .
Shenhai Expressway is an important artery of my country's north-south highway. The section under the jurisdiction of the Second Squadron is located at the southern gate of Qingdao. On average, 35,000 vehicles are opened daily, of which more than 30% are large trucks.
There are many ramps, bends, and accident-prone points along the way. There are also foggy areas and icy sections in winter, which are relatively difficult to manage.
In response to this situation, Li Yong quickly traveled all the road sections in his jurisdiction after taking office, and then used 3 months to create a self-made map of more than 1 meter in length to map every culvert, curve, accidental section, and easy knots. The ice road sections are clearly marked, of which 54 culverts are marked.
In the following four years, Li Yong continued to refine the map.
"Where there are long downhills and steep slopes, it's clear at a glance." said Xiao Gang, instructor of the traffic police brigade of Tongsan Expressway.
At around 10 pm on October 2nd, Li Yong took the map and discussed business with Xiao Gang again, "I urged him to take a rest, but he said that he would be on duty again after a while."
Xiao Gang didn't expect this to be the last conversation between himself and Li Yong.
The second time Tian Pengfei saw Li Yong, it was at the scene of a vehicle scratching accident.
One of the car owners involved was a colleague of Tian Pengfei, so he was dragged to a "strong momentum."
"Unexpectedly, Li Yong explained the cause of the accident, the division of responsibilities, and the laws and regulations under it clearly and clearly. The colleague was convicted of being fully responsible and said'thank you' convincingly to him."
Li Jianjun, the driver of Qingdao Haiboyun Taxi Co., Ltd., became good friends with Li Yong due to work reasons.
Once, someone was temporarily detained by Li Yong for a traffic violation, and he found Li Jianjun and asked him to intercede.
In the end, before finishing speaking, Li Jianjun refused: "As long as it is a case handled by Li Yong, not only is it useless to find me, but it is useless to find anyone."
In 16 years as a police officer, Li Yong was threatened face-to-face and stalked secretly, but none of these have changed his principle of dedication and impartiality in law enforcement.
In his view, his job is to protect the life and property of traffic participants, even if it “offends others” because of this.
Statistics show that by the time of the sacrifice, Li Yong had dealt with more than 1,000 traffic accidents, investigated and dealt with more than 830 overloading cases, seized 251 cases of false licenses, and issued more than 50,000 traffic violation notices... "Sometimes, he alone A person's workload in half a year can match a squadron." Li Guosong said.

In November 2013, "Qingdao Evening News" reporter Liu Zhuoyi received a hotline call from a parent saying that his child was injured in an accident and urgently needs to be sent to the doctor. A traffic policeman who happened upon the way not only helped clear the way, but also rushed after arriving at the hospital. Helped to queue up for registration.
"His name is Li Yong, and we want to thank him."
Later, when he got more contacts, Liu Zhuoyi discovered that Li Yong did too much to help others at work.
In the winter of 2018, the family of taxi driver Meng Jian drove back to their hometown in Rizhao City.
When driving to the Tongsan Expressway, the vehicle suddenly broke down and stalled.
Li Yong, who was patrolling nearby, quickly rushed to the scene. After getting a general understanding of the situation, he took out the tools he carried and drilled under the car to start repairs.
About half an hour later, the vehicle was able to start again, "but Li Yong was not relieved, he towed my car to the nearest duty station, and after repeated inspections to confirm that the fault was rectified, he let me leave."
Meng Jian drove a taxi for many years, and it was the first time he enjoyed such meticulous service from the traffic police.
Affected by this incident, he paid attention to Li Yong's Weibo and joined the Qingdao Leifeng Motorcade. He also volunteered to publicize the dangers of drunk driving every time he went out to eat.
"If you violate the law, I will deal with it impartially; if you abide by the law, I will do my best to serve you." This is what Li Yong used to say during his lifetime, and in his heart, strict law enforcement and warm guardianship can always coexist.
Once, when Xiao Gang and Li Yong were investigating a van that was illegally parked in the emergency lane, they found that the car was crowded with underage students and was seriously overcrowded.
"Li Yong's first reaction was not to enforce the law, but to scatter the children into police cars in a cheerful manner to ensure their safety."
In the trunk of the Lu U9329 police car that Li Yong drove before his death, first aid medicine, maintenance tools, and a bucket of tap water weighing 50 kilograms were always prepared.
The second squadron assistant policeman Zhang Chenggong said that Li Yong required every patrol vehicle to be filled with a bucket of water. '".
Having partnered with Li Yong for 4 years, the assistant policeman Zhang Chenggong knows some of his little habits well.
For example, every time it is his turn to work at night, Li Yong will take more from the cafeteria during dinner and wait until the patrol is over and return to the squadron to replenish his physical strength.
On the night of October 2, Li Yong prepared two hard-boiled eggs for himself.
A few hours later, Li Yong and Zhang successfully started the third round of patrols that day in accordance with their duties.
Zhang Chenggong felt that this year's National Day was a bit special. "In previous years, the peak traffic flow was concentrated on the first and last day of the holiday. There were a lot of traffic on the road every day this year."
For this reason, Li Yong specially urged him to "have a strong spirit" before setting off.
The car went to the down exit of Huangdao Service Area of Shenhai Expressway, and the two dealt with a truck scratching accident.
After getting in the car again, Li Yong said to Zhang Chenggong: “Let’s drive slowly, find the wheel that the owner lost, and send him to the rest service area.”
At that time, it was around 1 am on October 3, when the patrol car reached 675 kilometers +122 meters on the Shenhai Expressway, a black car parked in the emergency lane illegally attracted Li Yong's attention.
After pulling over and parking, the two approached to identify themselves and began interrogation.
"As soon as the car door opened, a strong smell of alcohol came over." Many days after the incident, Zhang Chenggong still had his eyes sunken and his complexion was solemn.
According to regulations, Li Yong was preparing to conduct an alcohol test on the driver, but was refused by the other party.
Then the driver tried to escape through the gap of the guardrail next to the car.
Unexpectedly, there is a culvert under the guardrail on this section of the road. The driver's body is suspended after turning to the outside, and there is a danger of falling at any time.
"Quickly come back!" While shouting, Li Yong leaned his upper body out of the guardrail and grabbed the driver's arm and dragged it upwards.
At the same time, Zhang Chenggong rushed to the guardrail and clasped the driver's wrist tightly.
The moment the two joined forces to drag the driver involved back into the guardrail, Li Yong lost his center of gravity and fell from the guardrail due to his hard work, and his head hit the concrete floor under the culvert.
At about 1:45 in the morning, a 120 ambulance arrived at the scene of the incident, and medical staff found that Li Yong had no vital signs after examination.
He was then rushed to the nearest hospital, where the rescue failed and died heroically.

After becoming a highway traffic policeman, Li Yong's work model has changed to "two days off and two days off".
However, even on the days of shifts, in the memory of his wife Chen Ying, Li Yong rarely has free time, "As long as he says,'Be busy for a while,' I know that he must either prepare lectures or reply to netizens. 'S private message or message".
In 2012, in order to let more people know about road traffic safety, Li Yong opened a Weibo account.
In his more than 16,000 Weibo posts, there are real-time traffic information, real law enforcement cases, road safety-related knowledge, laws and regulations, and answers to netizens’ doubts.
Highway duty and patrols were hard work, but after returning to the squadron many times, Zhang Chenggong saw Li Yong replying to the latest questions one by one.
"Persuade him to rest, but he always said that if one more traffic law can be popularized and one less traffic accident, everything is worth it."
In 2009, the Qingdao Central School for the Deaf moved to the area under the jurisdiction of Liaoyuan Road Squadron.
Because there were too many vehicles parked at the school gate, which affected the safety of students, Huang Kai, the school assistant at the time, approached Li Yong, who was on duty nearby, and asked if he could help solve the problem.
Li Yong not only agreed, but also offered to volunteer to explain traffic safety knowledge to this special group of children.
The first lecture was attended by all students in the school.
In order to protect the children in lower grades, Li Yong skipped all the traffic accident scene videos that he had coded.
Huang Kai was deeply impressed by this detail. "At that time, I thought that under the police uniform was such a meticulous heart."
For the next 8 years, Li Yong went to the school for the deaf once a month.
He added subtitles to all the videos. In order to make demonstration animations for younger students, he spent nearly 20,000 yuan on self-study of 3D animation production.
Every time in class, Li Yong will take local materials for on-site simulation.
"For example, a long bench is a large truck. He asks students to pass around the'truck', and then tells everyone which location is the most dangerous and which location is the safest." Huang Kai said.
In the laptop that Li Yong used during his lifetime, there is a folder dedicated to storing courseware.
Elementary school students, office white-collar workers, workers, and police officers are all his subjects.
The content of the courseware is also different for different participants.
According to incomplete statistics, Li Yong taught more than 400 voluntarily in his own name.
Judging from the modification record of the folder, he had just added new information to the courseware late at night before the sacrifice.
Chen Ying remembers that every time he went to class, Li Yong would say: "Even if only one person listens carefully to a class, it is good."
In 2014, Tian Pengfei, who had become friends with Li Yong, resigned and founded the "Qingdao Good Driver" road charity rescue team.
From the beginning, Li Yong was one of the backbone forces.
"He said he was a Qingdao traffic policeman when he put on a police uniform, and a citizen of Qingdao when he took off his uniform. No matter what his identity, it is obligatory to reach out and help." Tian Pengfei said, after Li Yong was transferred to work on the expressway, he often couldn't because of the long distance. Back to the city in time, his daughter Li Sheng and wife Chen Ying will participate in charity activities on his behalf.
In 2020, Zhang Shaojun, a 56-year-old policeman of the Second Squadron, was found to be ill during a physical examination. After learning about it, Li Yong silently undertook a night patrol task for him. One replacement lasted more than 50 times and more than 14,000 kilometers.
At the blood station in Qingdao city center, many medical staff knew Li Yong.
"He always donated blood during the rest time after lunch. If he donated platelets, he also asked for two treatment amounts." Zhao Huixia, a blood station business doctor, recalled, "He said that it is not easy to do a busy job, so donate more when you come. "
In the past 20 years, Li Yong has donated more than 30,000 milliliters of blood at the central blood station.
"He didn't do anything earth-shattering, he just insisted on doing every little thing his whole life." After Li Yong's sacrifice, Qi Pei, a teacher of Qingdao Badaxia Primary School who had known him for many years, said.

On October 31, Li Yong's memorial service was held in Qingdao Funeral Home.
More than 1,200 people from his family, comrades-in-arms, colleagues, friends and Qingdao citizens who had met with him came to say goodbye to him.
"Get up and go home with me!" Chen Ying cried out with difficulty when she saw the one she loved for the last time.
In their home, Li Yong's green plants are luxuriant and goldfish grow freely.
The windowsill was full of stones of various shapes, which were picked up by Li Yong when he climbed the mountain. He said that he should polish it well when he retires.
"In his eyes, everything is cute, everything is beautiful, and everything is interesting." Chen Ying said, every time he goes home from a shift, Li Yong will first shout in the corridor, "I'm back!" After a long time, Chen Ying will. By deliberately hiding in a corner without making a sound, Li Yong's first "task" after entering the house was to find her.
This has become a little game that the couple never tire of playing.
Now, Chen Ying could no longer wait for that familiar voice.
At about 12 noon, Li Yong's daughter Li Shenghuai walked out of the funeral home holding her father's ashes and got on the hearse.
Under the escort of a cavalry and a police car, she wants to accompany her father to see the place where he once worked.
When the hearse drove through the intersection of Yanji Road on Shandong Road, the police on duty stood in salute, and vehicles along the way collectively honked their horns, and the sound resounded throughout Qingdao.
On October 13, a "Model Pacemaker Post" was set up at the intersection of Yanji Road on Shandong Road.
Shortly before the arrival of the hearse, Zheng Haibin, the instructor of the Liaoyuan Road Squadron, was on the "Model Pacemaker Post" using Li Yong's own "warm gestures" to direct passing vehicles and pedestrians.
When the prompt screen displayed "Please drive into the waiting lane", Zheng Haibin raised his hands to guide the left-turning vehicle into the waiting area; after the vehicle stopped, he gave the driver a thumbs up.
On October 12, the Tongsan Expressway Traffic Police Brigade established the "Li Yong Party Member Pioneer Commando" on the basis of Li Yong’s original team. Equipped with first aid kit, tow rope, battery connection cable and emergency backup water.
On October 24, the People's Government of Shandong Province assessed Li Yong as a martyr.
At noon on October 2nd, the traffic volume in the area increased significantly. Li Yong released the last Weibo in his life to remind drivers to plan their travel routes in advance and concentrate on driving.
Now, in the comment area of that Weibo, someone insists on saying "good morning" and "good night" to him every day.
The weather in Qingdao was good that day, and Li Yong also added the flowers and plants he photographed and a duck swimming in the water in the pictures on Weibo.
