Public Security Hero | His photos don't need to be mosaic anymore - in memory of anti-drug hero Cai Xiaodong
This Tomb-sweeping Day, we tearfully cherish the memory of the anti-drug heroes who carried forward their burdens.
As an immigration management policeman who has been fighting on the front line of the border anti-drug for a long time, when his clear photo is in front of people, there is a great possibility that he died.
In the winter of 2021, countless people will remember Cai Xiaodong. His tanned face, white teeth when he grinned, and a simple and sincere smile reminded people of his father, brother and son.
In peacetime, Cai Xiaodong, deputy captain of the law enforcement investigation team of the Xishuangbanna Border Management Detachment in Yunnan, fell in a gun battle, and his 38-year-old life was frozen.
On December 4, 2021, according to the clues at hand, after preliminary investigation and investigation, the Xishuangbanna Border Management Detachment decided to launch a net collection operation for a case of bringing a large amount of drugs into the country.
At noon, heavily armed policemen lurked in the jungle.
As the rustling of leaves got closer, the three suspects entered the ambush ring with bags on their backs.
"Police, don't move!" Cai Xiaodong rushed out first.
The suspect immediately discarded the green backpack containing 31.8 kilograms of opium and fled overseas. Cai Xiaodong and his comrades immediately launched a pursuit.
A suspect who was running frantically turned around suddenly, and gunshots rang out!
"There's a gun!" Cai Xiaodong, who was shot in many places despite wearing a bulletproof vest, shouted loudly and fought back heroically.
Enduring the severe pain, he finally fell to the ground due to exhaustion after chasing more than 10 meters.
Facing the comrades who came to rescue, his first reaction was "Go and arrest people!"
Blood continued to seep out from between his fingers covering the wound, and the ambulance roared, but Cai Xiaodong never woke up.
On December 8, the farewell ceremony for Cai Xiaodong's body was held in Jinghong City Square, where people from all walks of life spontaneously flocked to bid farewell to the hero.
In those days, everyone in the circle of friends was "Xiaodong", this time, his photos did not have mosaics.
On March 30, 2022, Cai Xiaodong was buried in the Menglong Martyrs Cemetery in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna, where he was buried on the border line he was most familiar with.
In the 15 years since he was in the police, Cai Xiaodong participated in the investigation of 247 drug cases, participated in 358 special anti-drug operations, arrested 249 criminal suspects, and seized a total of 1,609.56 kilograms of drugs.
During his lifetime, he made many contributions and was rated as an outstanding Communist Party member, an outstanding police officer, and an anti-drug pacesetter.
After his sacrifice, he was posthumously regarded as a martyr, and was posthumously awarded the Outstanding Communist Party Member of Yunnan Province, the Model of Yunling, and the May Fourth Youth Medal of Yunnan Province.
The Lancang River flows out of the city, and the vines intersect in the virgin forest... In Xishuangbanna, which is adjacent to the "Golden Triangle" of overseas drug sources, the battle between immigration police and drug dealers has never stopped.
