In June 1988, steaming heat scorched the land, and a group of tall armed police fighters gathered around a 14-year-old skinny girl in a training barracks for the armed police in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
The girl was thrown to the ground by the armed police officers who were one head taller than herself, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead in disbelief, even though she had no extra strength in her body, she continued to say to the armed police officers and soldiers, "Come again!" ”
"If you don't come, you won't come, and if the little girl tries again, you'll get hurt."
The girl stubbornly said: "What is this, I can be a SWAT in the future!" ”
Who is this little girl who was beaten by the armed police but kept standing up? Why can she compete with armed police fighters? Today, do girls achieve their childhood dreams?
"From Martial Arts to Armed Police"
Lei Min was born on April 29, 1974 to a poor family in Luzhou, Sichuan. Lei Min's grandfather has been working in other places for many years, his grandmother is not in good health, and there is an uncle with schizophrenia in the family, and the elderly and children in the family are cared for by Lei Min's mother.
It is said that the personality of Sichuan girls is hot and bold, and Lei Min is no exception. While other girls are wearing nice little dresses and playing with Barbie dolls, Lei Min has a more lively personality than boys, she has short neat hair, and she likes to watch martial arts movies on TV the most.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Hong Kong film companies cooperated with mainland film companies to create a number of martial arts films that were loved by mainland audiences, and martial arts films such as "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li caused a huge sensation after their release.
Under the popularity of martial arts movies, Lei Min is also attracted by the dashing martial arts posture of the protagonist on TV, and in private Lei Min often learns the tricks and styles of the movie protagonist, fantasizing that he can also do martial arts.
In June 1985, 11-year-old Lei Min told his parents that he wanted to learn martial arts.
But as a girl, her parents want Lei Min to study like an ordinary child, after all, the path of learning martial arts is very difficult. But unable to stop Lei Min's bitter pleading, Lei Min's family can only send her to a sports school far away from home.
Lei Min performed well in the sports school, she can endure hardships more than ordinary children, and she can understand the movements taught by the coach faster. Soon, Lei Min became the top student in the sports school.
Lei Min was selected by the sports school coach at the age of 14 to represent the sports school in the Sichuan Provincial Youth Games, and she won the second place in the swordplay and the third place in the stick art in the martial arts project.
Lei Min's sports school is separated from the barracks of the armed police force by only one wall. During the sports school, Lei Min was able to hear the whistle of the armed police in the barracks getting up on time every morning and the loud military song of the armed police training soon after. This made Lei Min in the sports school feel excited.
Before the gymnastics school, Lei Min often lay on the fence to watch the training of the armed police next door. Slowly, Lei Min had a deep yearning for becoming an armed policeman.
During Lei Min's training of armed police soldiers, the armed police soldiers also had an impression of this sports school girl who could not move to observe. During the training process of the sports school, Lei Min always remembered the healthy posture of the armed policemen, and she couldn't help but compare the difference between herself and the armed police soldiers in her heart.
Later, in the free time of the armed police, Lei Min always went to the door to ask the soldiers for advice. The armed police soldiers saw that Lei Min was a little girl and often released water slightly in the process of asking for advice, but even after releasing the water, the martial arts that Lei Min learned in the sports school were difficult to win against the armed police fighters.
But Lei Min did not feel discouraged, on the contrary, she continued to strengthen her martial arts training and constantly asked the officers and men of the armed police for advice. During this period, Lei Min slowly stopped being satisfied with the martial arts skills she learned in the sports school, and she wanted to become an armed policeman and become a good soldier.
"After all the hardships to become a female SWAT officer"
In March 1990, when Lei Min was practicing martial arts in the training room of the sports school, a female classmate who knew Lei Min well came to Lei Min and said, "Alas, have you heard?" It seems that the Sichuan Armed Police Corps is recruiting female SWAT team members during this time. ”
Although Lei Min was only 15 years old at this time, she was still involuntarily excited to hear the news. She borrowed 15 yuan from her classmates and came to Chengdu by train alone that day without her parents.
This is Lei Min's first time in Chengdu, although he does not know the road, but along the way, the joy in Lei Min's heart overwhelms the fear of unfamiliarity with life. However, when he arrived in Chengdu, Lei Min still got lost. She asked passers-by along the way, and through the guidance of passers-by, she came to the Sichuan Armed Police Corps Recruitment Office.
When Lei Min arrived at the recruitment office, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the recruitment office had already closed its doors, and there was a sentry standing at the door. The sentry watched as the skinny girl stood in the doorway. He asks Lei Min what he has come here to do, and Lei Min says that he is here to sign up.
The sentry told LeiMin, "Today's registration time has passed, do you want to come tomorrow?" ”
Lei Min is very sad, she only has 15 yuan in her hand to go back to and from Chengdu, if she wants to go outside to find a guest house now, then she will have no money to go back to the sports school. After hesitating at the door for a while, Raymin plucked up the courage to say to the sentry, "Can I stay here for one night at the doorman?" ”
Lei Min explained his difficulties and love for becoming a SWAT officer, and the sentry decided to report Lei Min's situation to the superiors.
After hearing this, the superiors of the Sichuan Armed Police Corps expressed their understanding of Lei Min's situation, and then arranged for Lei Min to temporarily live with a female soldier of the Armed Police Corps.
That night, Lei Min, who lived in the armed police dormitory, lost sleep with excitement. She tossed over in bed, unable to sleep just thinking that she was now in the Armed Police Corps. She felt that she was only one step away from her dream.
The next day, Lei Min woke up very early. The registration office is overcrowded, and Lei Min, who has not slept long at night, did not panic because of this, it may be that the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, lei min is eager to try when queuing, and his spirit remains highly excited.
When he signed up, Lei Min showed the boxing and stick techniques he learned at the sports school. Among the crowd, Lei Min, who has a foundation in martial arts, quickly stood out, and Lei Min got the interview qualification.
At the time of registration, there was actually a small episode, that time the Sichuan Armed Police Corps only recruited girls with household registration in Chengdu, and after Lei Min performed martial arts, the interviewer who was very satisfied with her asked about Lei Min's place of origin. When they learned that Lei Min was from Luzhou, the interviewers all looked at each other.
Lei Min felt that it was not good, and she immediately revealed her love for becoming a SWAT officer, and only after the soft and hard bubble was qualified for the interview.
Lei Min's interview was also more rigorous than other people's interviews at the time, she experienced three rounds of critical interviews, and conquered all the interviewers with her excellent physical fitness and solid martial arts skills.
In the end, Lei Min was admitted to the Sichuan Armed Police Corps and successfully became a female SWAT team member of her dreams.
"Not afraid of suffering, not afraid of tiredness, become China's first police flower"
The INTENSITY training intensity of the SWAT team is even more stringent than that within the sports school. Lei Min always thought that the hardships he suffered in the sports school had cultivated his character of not being afraid of tiredness and suffering, but when he arrived at the SWAT team, Lei Min found out what real devil training was.
After practicing in the first few days of the army, Lei Min was often so tired that she was staring at Venus, and she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow at night. The body, which no longer had an uncomfortable reaction after practicing for the principal time, also began to become sore again.
During the exercises, Lei Min also injured his own limbs because of mistakes. After several trainings, Lei Min's body was covered with small scars.
Because of the special identity of swat police, Lei Min and other female team members must overcome the lack of physical strength and striking power brought by gender. The same amount of training as male SWAT officers, but female SWAT officers such as Lei Min need more tenacious willpower to persevere.
Whether it was windy or rainy, whether in the grass or in the muddy swamp, Lei Min and the other female SWAT officers overcame their physical exhaustion and persevered tenaciously.
After getting used to the training intensity of the troops, Lei Min put forward higher requirements for himself. On the basis of the training of the troops, she insisted on getting up half an hour early and using the rest time before getting up early and going to bed for additional training, so that she insisted on ten years.
Before entering the SWAT force, Lei Min had a slight fear of heights. However, after becoming a swat police officer, he may encounter a mission in the high air, and in order to overcome his fear of heights, Lei Min came to the tallest floor of the armed police dormitory.
She wandered to the edge of the roof on the sixth floor, forcing herself to look at the ground tens of meters below. Just walk back and forth in a circle until you have completely overcome the fear of heights.
In the subsequent high-rise combat training, Lei Min overcame her fear and set a world record for a female police officer climbing 5 floors with her bare hands with a score of 57 seconds.
Lei Min insists on doing every item in SWAT training to the extreme, becoming the best among female SWAT officers.
In October 1995, Lei Min and her comrades-in-arms came to the 64th Interpol General Assembly held in Beijing, where Lei Min's hard qigong performance amazed every guest present and gave the international audience a glimpse of the style of Chinese special police.
The following year, 22-year-old Lei Min was invited to Mauritius to help train SWAT team members.
Mauritian women and Chinese women have a huge difference in body shape, And LeiMin is gentle and beautiful and petite, which did not convince Mauritians in the early days of coaching.
But soon Raymin's fierce teaching style and wonderful combat instructions convinced the Mauritian trainees. Based on the physical characteristics of the Mauritian female police, Leimin developed a training program full of skill and flexibility for them, and after practicing according to the program, the Mauritian female police team quickly became very effective.
In addition to training, Lei Min did not have an instructor shelf, she and the Mauritian team members developed a deep affection, the Mauritian team members are very fond of this female instructor from China.
In May 1997, Lemin was invited to Mauritius again. During her two training sessions in Mauritius, Raymin trained more than 500 SWAT officers and eight instructors for Mauritius, and formed the first women's SWAT team in Mauritius. As a result, LeiMin was also awarded the Highest Honour Medal of the Mauritius Police.
In 1998, the stills of "Women's SWAT Team" came to Sichuan Women's SWAT Team to experience the real SWAT life in order to shoot. The director had not yet decided on the choice of the heroine, and in the SWAT team, the director saw the heroic Lei Min and hoped that she would come to the play as the heroine.
In 2000, "Women's SWAT Team" was broadcast on CCTV, and as the actress Tie Hong, Lei Min also received the attention of the masses.
Many of the reporters were curious about Lei Min's personal emotional life, but Lei Min bluntly said that he had been married two years ago, and the object was an ordinary security officer of Southwest Airlines.
As soon as this news came out, the masses were in an uproar, and everyone did not expect that Lei Min, who was known as "China's first police flower", actually married a security guard.
"Falling in love with a male security guard"
It turned out that as early as Lei Min became a SWAT officer, the elders in the family began to worry about Lei Min's personal emotional life. The family is worried that Lei Min will devote herself to training and forget about her attempts at love.
It just so happened that Lei Min's father's good friend had a son who was about the same age as Lei Min, Deng Yong. When Lei Min's father and Deng Yong's father gathered, they accidentally mentioned that their children were single, and the two families were so combined, they simply matched Lei Min and Deng Yong to try.
In the summer of 1996, Lei Min, who returned home from the SWAT team, heard about the blind date that her parents had arranged for her, and Lei Min did not refuse, she told her father that she did not have time recently, and if the other party was also interested, let him come to her.
When she returned to the SWAT team, Lei Min quickly forgot about the incident. One day, when Lei Min had just finished training and was preparing to wash up, he was told that someone was looking for him at the door. Lei Min put down the toiletries and hurried to the reception room.
In the reception room, Lei Min saw a strange man. After the other party's self-introduction, Lei Min knew that the man was Deng Yong, the blind date arranged by his parents.
Deng Yong thought that Lei Min was busy, and did not talk to Lei Min for too long, but just gave Lei Min what he bought for Lei Min, and then left.
The two of them left a good impression on each other this time, Lei Min felt that Deng Yong was down-to-earth and careful, and Deng Yong also thought that Lei Min was generous and cool.
Deng Yong served as a soldier and worked as a security guard for an airline in Chengdu after retiring. After that, the two got along for a while, because they had both been soldiers, and the two sides had a lot of common topics, and soon the two confirmed their relationship.
After falling in love, the two gathered less and more, and Lei Min went to Mauritius to work as a coach. During the time of separation, Deng Yong often wrote love letters to Lei Min in different places, and also sent food to his hometown for Lei Min. Deng Yong understands Lei Min's work and is willing to be her warm harbor.
In 1997, Lei Min, who was selected as the heroine of the "Women's SWAT Team", actually did not have much confidence, but Deng Yong gave Lei Min unconditional support behind his back, giving Lei Min a lot of motivation. Before the filming of "Women's SWAT Team", Deng Yong proposed to Lei Min, and the two received their marriage licenses on May 1, 1997, when Lei Min was 23 years old.
Because Lei Min was busy at work, the two did not entertain guests until two years later, and did not make up for the late banquet.
"Write your own myths"
In August 2021, Lei Min has become a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and is also the director of the Supply Security Department of the Armed Police Command College, with the rank of colonel, while her husband left the airline security post to work in a construction company in Chengdu to do cargo transportation and procurement.
In his spare time, Lei Min also called for the protection of the honor of heroic martyrs. She said in an interview that although the atmosphere of protecting heroes and martyrs has continued to improve in recent years, things that smear heroes and slander martyrs still occur.
Lei Min expressed anger at this and calmly analyzed the problem. She called for more effective measures to strengthen legal education, let relevant ideas enter the classrooms of young people, and integrate the spirit of defending heroism into the national blood. Now Lei Min is still fighting for this.
Lei Min used her life to create her own "myth", our life should also learn from her, continue to move forward in the right direction, everyone can write their own legend!
