Wuhan, 4 April (Zhongxin Net) -- Remembering Cheng Kai, a second-class heroic model of the national public security system

Written by Wu Yili Liu Minyang

Cheng Kai's desk, his comrades still keep it as it is for him. Silent relics record his busyness during his lifetime - in the drawer, a large stack records the list of items stolen by the masses in the theft; In the cabinet, a bag of daily necessities that can be used to travel at any time to handle cases...

Cheng Kai was born in February 1975, a native of Huangmei, Hubei Province, began to work in December 2, joined the Communist Party of China in November 1993, was the deputy director of the Huangmei Police Station of the Huangmei County Public Security Bureau before his death, was awarded three times for third-class merit and two commendations, and was successively rated as an expert in criminal investigation and solving of cases by the public security organs of the province, and an advanced individual in joint defense in the three provinces of Hubei, Jiangsu and Anhui.

On September 2022, 9, when Cheng Kai led the team to carry out the task of arresting criminal suspects, he encountered gangsters who resisted arrest, he pushed away his comrades, and died heroically himself at the age of 16.

"The last time we fought side by side was to jointly investigate a major drug trafficking case." Hu Mengping, a police officer at the Huangmei County Detention Center, recalled. At that time, they were in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, and the suspect launched a vehicle to escape. Hu Mengping drove to block the way, while Cheng Kai quickly got out of the car, picked up a stone on the side of the road, smashed the suspect's car window, and pulled him off the car to control. Afterwards, the police found a dagger in the driver's seat.

In the more than six months since handling the "Konglang No. 1 Project", Cheng Kai and members of the special case team arrested 6 criminal suspects, detected 36 cases involving criminal syndicates and evil forces, and handled the first criminal case of evil forces groups in Huangmei County. "From the preliminary research and judgment to squatting and arresting to interrogation and sending for examination, he did not sleep for three or two days, and it was common for him to fight continuously." Li Zhiyang, deputy director of the Liulin Police Station of the Huangmei County Public Security Bureau, who handled the case together, said.

Cheng Kai is strong and dark-skinned, known as the "iron bull", in the eyes of many people, he is both iron-faced and tender. Cheng Kai's apprentice Huang Zhigang said that he was as strong as iron to bad people and as soft as water to the masses. He took the people to heart and did practical things for them.

More than ten years ago, the young and ignorant Wan Zhifeng was drunk and injured and was taken to the police station. For this case, Cheng Kai visited Wanzhifeng's neighbors and community cadres many times, and learned that he was not bad in nature, so he began to organize mediation between the parties. Cheng Kai told him not to be impulsive in everything, to abide by the law and discipline, and to do more things that contribute to society. For more than ten years, Wan Zhifeng has been in touch with Cheng Kai.

"Without Brother Kai's guidance and help, I would not have achieved the success of my career today. His care for me made me feel that the people's police have a tender side in addition to iron and blood. Wan Zhifeng said.

In peacetime, the public security force is the one that gives the most and sacrifices the most. According to data from the Hubei Provincial Public Security Department, since the founding of New China, 550 police officers have died in the line of duty, of which 106 have been rated as martyrs. (End)
