Chinanews.com, Beijing, February 9th: How do real "Anxins" view "Hurricane"?
Reporter Wang Shiyao
A contest between good and evil, a life-and-death entanglement spanning twenty years, the criminal investigation drama "Hurricane" uses a solid script and superb interpretation to present a wonderful "film and television feast" to the audience in the beginning of 2023 .
"Hurricane" tells the story of the 20-year-long contest between good and evil, represented by the front-line criminal policeman An Xin, and the evil forces headed by the Gao brothers and their "protective umbrella".
The main creative team of the play once stated that "Anxin" is based on multiple real prototypes and is the epitome of thousands of policemen.
Based on this, we interviewed several front-line policemen, and wanted to hear about these "Anxins" in real life, what were they thinking when they watched "Hurricane"?

The black and evil forces can't "crazy" and "crazy" can't go up
Recently, "Hurricane" has not only topped the search charts, but even the grassroots policemen who are often too busy to take care of their homes are taking time to follow the drama and discuss the plot with their colleagues.
"In fact, plots like "Hurricane" are mostly far away from our lives, and they are rarely seen in daily life." Liu Geng, a policeman from the Baijiantan Police Station of the Baijiantan District Bureau of the Karamay City Public Security Bureau, Xinjiang, said.
"Hurricane" chooses three representative time nodes in 2000, 2006, and 2021 to describe the mental journey and value choices of characters in different era backgrounds and social soils.
The story chooses to end in 2021, which is also closely related to the background that the national special campaign against crime and evil has been carried out for three years and has achieved remarkable results.
On January 11, 2018, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Notice on Carrying out the Special Campaign to Suppress Gangsters and Eliminate Evil", and a three-year special campaign to eradicate gangsters and evils was launched nationwide.
In the past three years, a total of 3,644 gang-related organizations and 11,675 criminal groups have been eliminated across the country; 237,000 criminal suspects have been arrested, and 5,768 target fugitives have been arrested. , 43,144 criminals involved in gangs and crimes surrendered themselves.
Through special struggles, the arrogance of the underworld forces has been thoroughly cracked down, and underworld crimes have been fundamentally curbed.

In this context, many plots in "Hurricane" that stimulate the audience's adrenaline are actually more artistic creation.
For example, in some of the fighting scenes in the play, Liu Geng believes that there are elements of exaggeration in it, "In reality, there is no scene of confrontation with a gun at every turn." Speaking of this, his police DNA has moved, "It seems that anyone in the play can use It makes me wonder what the source of their guns is?"
Chen Te, a policeman from the Propaganda Section of the Political Department of the Public Security Bureau of Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, also felt the same way.
Recently, a friend would ask him after watching "Hurricane", "What is the real police life like?" "Will it be like in the drama, facing the situation of beatings and killings every day?"
Whenever he heard such a question, Chen Te would always be a little dumbfounded.
"In fact, anyone who has worked in public security knows that we don't fight and kill every day. Now the social security is relatively good, and more of them are mediating and resolving conflicts and disputes."

Choice is just a thought
Talking about the impressive plot, Liu Geng said that An Xin persuaded his partner Li Xiang at a commendation meeting that as a policeman, he must choose fairness and justice, and he especially sympathized with this plot.
"We also face many choices in our police career. It is not easy to stick to our original intention and mission every time we make a choice!"
Unlike Li Xiang, who has to choose between truth and concealment, Liu Geng needs to balance "law" and "emotion" when handling cases—for example, in the process of handling some civil disputes, such as mediation or punishment. when.
From Liu Geng's point of view, the police in his community didn't deal with too many major cases, homicides, or important cases, and most of the time it was just some neighborhood and family disputes.
Therefore, "we try not to raise the internal conflicts among the people to a high level, and basically focus on mediation."
Mo Xiyuan, a policeman of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Suzhou Branch of the Changjiang Shipping Public Security Bureau, was deeply moved by Anxin's two rescues.
One time, in the play, An Xin was arresting the criminal suspect "Crazy Donkey". When "Crazy Donkey" accidentally fell and his life was hanging by a thread, An Xin put his life on hold "Crazy Donkey" regardless of personal safety.
Even though his arm was pierced by steel bars, An Xin did not let go, and finally succeeded in saving the "crazy donkey", but his right hand was the root cause of the disease.

Twenty years later, the same thing happened again.
When An Xin was arresting Tang Xiaolong, facing the suspect who was about to commit suicide by jumping off the building, An Xin once again used the same arm to hold on to the falling Tang Xiaolong, and finally successfully arrested him.
At that time, An Xin said "Why is it this hand again", which touched Mo Xiyuan's heart.
"This sentence directly established An Xin's image as a policeman. Although he has suffered once, when the same thing happens again, he will not hesitate to choose to protect the lives of every citizen, even if This man is a criminal."
Mo Xiyuan recalled that he had experienced a similar situation. When he encountered a criminal suspect who had suicidal thoughts due to the seriousness of the case, he would pay attention to calming the other party's emotions while handling the investigation.
"I will tell him that the law will treat every suspect fairly and equitably."
"Little Family" and "Everyone"
Some netizens said, "I don't know where An Xin's home is after seeing the finale." "Does he have a place to stay at night?"
It's not that the screenwriter forgot to give An Xin a "home", it just reflects the fact that many policemen are too busy to return home.
"Telecom network fraud is a national concern at present. In order to protect the pockets of ordinary people, we can say that we are running 7 x 24 hours a day. Our philosophy is that even if we can save a penny for the loss of ordinary people, the work is not in vain. "Liu Ting, a policeman from the Baijiantan District Branch of the Public Security Bureau of Karamay City, Xinjiang, is in charge of the office's back office work. The longest time she handled a case was nearly 40-50 days and she couldn't return home once.
"My husband and I are both police officers. Sometimes we meet only a handful of times a year. I also have a young daughter who is only one year old this year and has not been weaned yet." Liu Ting believes that she owes a lot to her family. But in his job, he must do his duty.

How to balance the "small family" and "everyone" should be a difficult problem that every policeman will face.
Miao Xianglong, an instructor at the Jiangyin Police Station of the Suzhou Branch of the Changjiang Shipping Public Security Bureau, is very grateful to his wife for her understanding: "My family is very supportive and caring about my work, especially my wife, who takes care of the family in an orderly manner. Dedicated to public security work.”
Miao Xianglong said that the strength of grassroots police stations is still a little weak. Like his Jiangyin police station, 18 policemen need to be responsible for various tasks within the 35-kilometer river bank along the Yangtze River, including combating criminal crimes, public security management, and fire supervision.
On the other hand, water law enforcement objects are highly mobile and concealed, making law enforcement more difficult than land law enforcement.
"There is no cover on the Yangtze River. As long as we go out, we will be exposed, and the other party is also easy to be exposed. Therefore, criminals commit crimes at night, which also increases the difficulty for us to handle the case."

Not only that, whether it is law enforcement and case handling, or ship inspection and rescue, the environment is a major risk factor.
"Some boats are even as high as 20 meters. We have to climb up, and the river is surging below. If we are not careful, we will fall into the Yangtze River." Miao Xianglong said.
However, no matter how difficult or dangerous the environment is, it is not an obstacle to the people's police.
"The safety of the masses is more important than anything else. As a policeman, we must be able to rush up and take them down at critical moments."
The people's police put "the people" first and put "everyone" in their hearts.
During the interview, everyone mentioned the word "original aspiration" in unison. Only when the police do not forget their original aspiration can the common people feel more at ease.
