It is reported that on the 9th, the Guangdong Coast Guard Bureau sent Wang Xiaolong a ride at the Shanwei Coast Guard Wharf, two coast guard ships honked their horns, and coast guard law enforcement officers took off their hats in full gear and faced the sea in silence. The martyr's family holds Wang Xiaolong's ashes and says a final farewell to the place where he fought.
According to the Guangdong Coast Guard, in the early morning of March 3, there was a "ant moving" type of smuggling criminal activity in a sea area of Shanwei City, Guangdong Province. Coast guard law enforcers Wang Xiaolong, Lin Qingping, Wang Shengsen, and Chen Yongxi went to the sea area to squat in hiding.

At about 3:10 a.m., Wang Xiaolong discovered through a night vision device that on the sea surface more than 200 meters away, a modified super-horsepower speedboat equipped with six engines and a "fishing boat" were leaning together, preparing to transfer unknown objects.
During the arrest operation, a suspect who escaped to the bridge violently pushed the speedboat engine lever, and the "fishing boat" that was originally tied together also started the engine, and the two boats accelerated to escape. During the acceleration, the front cabin of the speedboat cocked, and with a "bang", the cable between the speedboat and the "fishing boat" was disconnected, the hull shook violently, and Wang Xiaolong, Lin Qingping and several suspects were thrown into the sea.

Chen Yongxi and Wang Shengsen, who were thrown down in the rear cabin, stood firmly and heard Lin Qingping's shout from the sea: "Xiaolong! Xiaolong..." Following the shouts, Chen Yongxi and Wang Shengsen rescued Lin Qingping on board and found that his left foot had been beaten by the speedboat propeller. They shouted Wang Xiaolong again, but never heard an answer.
Reinforcements from all sides, which arrived one after another, quickly entered the search and rescue. At about 3 o'clock on March 26, Wang Xiaolong's body was found by search and rescue personnel in the waters near Magong Port in Shanwei, and the forensic doctor confirmed that Wang Xiaolong was unfortunately hit by the engine propeller of the smuggling ship when he fell into the sea, and died heroically.
At present, more than 10 criminal suspects involved in the case have been arrested, and the case is still being further investigated. (End)
