On August 6, 1997, the small auditorium of the Longchuan County Party Committee in Yunnan Province.
The heavens whimpered, and the mourning fell low. More than two thousand spontaneous crowds, armed with plain white chrysanthemums, made a final farewell to a warrior. From the memorial service site to the martyrs' cemetery, the kilometers of streets are lined with crowds of people, who stand in silence and prepare to send the hero on his last journey.
The hearse set off. A little rain poured down on everyone's face, and the one-kilometer-long funeral procession was full of cries, and people called out the hero's name, Yin Mingzhi, in grief. The armed police soldier, who was not yet 21 years old, sacrificed his young and precious life to defend the hot land of his hometown.

Zhangfeng Town, Longchuan County, is located in the southwest border of the motherland, since ancient times it has been an important town on the Silk Road, after the reform and opening up, it has become a must for Sino-Burmese trade, and is also the border trade, economic and cultural center of Yunnan. At the same time, due to its proximity to the "Golden Triangle" region, the drug problem has always been severe.
On August 2, 1997, the officers and men of the Zhangfeng Border Defense Workstation of the Armed Police Force were still reminiscing about the joy of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the army, but Yin Mingzhi was sweating like rain in the scorching sun above the county border defense brigade, nervously carrying out tactical intensive training. As a top soldier at the border guard station, he was drawn to participate in the military competition in September, and the two-and-a-half-year veteran of the army vowed to win an honor for the border guard station before retiring from the army.
This afternoon, the border guard station suddenly received a message: a group of drug dealers on The Foreigner Street in Myanmar was about to enter the country. The situation was urgent, and the county border defense brigade carefully studied the facts of the case and formulated a meticulous investigation plan, but the ambush blocking squad still lacked an "undercover agent." This "undercover" must be of excellent quality and flexible in mind in order to pretend to be a "boss who receives goods" and go deep into the tiger's den to cooperate with his comrades-in-arms in arresting drug dealers.
After repeated selection, Yin Mingzhi stood out from many warriors. Before dinner, the staff officer of the brigade conveyed the task to him, and Yin Mingzhi, who had just come down from the training ground, was covered in mud and sweat. Hearing that the task was urgent, he could not take a bite of food, drink a sip of water, and returned to the station with a tired body.
As a native of Yingjiang, Yunnan, Yin Mingzhi has heard and witnessed the tragedy of the separation of his wife and children caused by drugs and the destruction of his family, and his three close friends in his youth have also contracted drug addiction and almost embarked on the road of no return. Therefore, he hated the drug dealers to the bone, and wrote his determination no less than a hundred times in his diary: He must join the ranks of the anti-drug struggle.
On August 23, 1996, at The Request of Yin Mingzhi several times, the organization approved his request, and the Qiannan Detachment of the Guizhou Armed Police Corps was transferred to the Zhangfeng Border Defense Station on the front line of anti-narcotics, and since then he has become a national guard.

At 6:30 p.m. on August 2, the anti-drug campaign began. Yin Mingzhi and the informant entered the designated position according to the pre-war deployment and waited for the drug dealers to come to trade, and another group ambushed around to prepare to respond. As the sky darkened, the border was silent, and the distant mountains were only vaguely outlined. In the darkness, Yin Mingzhi endured hunger and mosquito bites, vigilantly watching the movements around him.
At 11:30 p.m., a sneaky black shadow appeared, and Yin Mingzhi immediately signaled the informant to get ready. The target was getting closer and closer, a man of five big and three thick, and the drug dealer sent him over to get some money. The prior agreement was that the two sides would deliver the goods in Yin Mingzhi's car, but the cunning drug dealer temporarily changed his plan, proposed to see the money first, and then delivered the goods, refusing to take the goods to the car.
The "boss" Yin Mingzhi did not entangle with it, and decisively handed the money over: "The money is here, you order it!" After nodding the money, the drug dealer whistled, and not long after, another dark shadow emerged from a distance, carrying a bag behind him. The informant saw the situation and attached it to Yin Mingzhi's ear and said: "I will go to pick up the goods, bring people over, and the rest will depend on you!" Yin Mingzhi nodded knowingly.
The informant walked over, opened the bag and looked at it, Yin Mingzhi saw that he did not make a sound, and knew that the drug was not fake, so he issued a secret signal for action. As everyone knows, this gang of drug dealers has long been premeditated, and they have also set up an ambush in advance, planning to "eat black and eat black." In the shadows, 5 drug dealers armed with sharp knives suddenly rushed out and pounced on Yin Mingzhi. The drug dealer who ordered money and delivered the goods also drew his dagger and stabbed at the informant and Yin Mingzhi.
In the face of the murderous drug dealer and Ming Ming's dangling sharp knife, Yin Mingzhi was not afraid of danger, hiding, soaring, flashing, and fighting with the drug dealer to the death. With his kung fu, facing the siege of three drug dealers, even if it is not their opponent, it is not a big problem to escape safely. However, during the fight, he vaguely saw that the informant was being besieged by 4 drug dealers, and the situation was very critical.
Before leaving, the station leader had repeatedly told him that the task should be successfully completed and the safety of the informants must also be fully protected. Thinking of this, Yin Mingzhi put his life and death aside, flew up and kicked off the sharp knife in the hands of a drug dealer, and immediately turned back and ran towards the informant, and the two drug dealers chased after him. At this time, the informant was forced to fall to the ground, a drug dealer wielded a knife to stab, and at the moment of a thousand gunshots, Yin Mingzhi flew and pounced, shielding the informant with his body, and the blade mercilessly stabbed into his left abdomen.
Yin Mingzhi screamed in pain, turned over suddenly, and grabbed the drug dealer's wrist deadly, and the mad drug dealer stabbed the knife violently and twisted it fiercely in order to get out. At this time, the receiving team that was ambushed around heard the shouts and rushed towards the place of the fight, and the drug dealers saw the situation and tried to take the road and flee. How could Yin Mingzhi tolerate the drug dealer slipping away from under his nose, he stood up with amazing perseverance and clung to a drug dealer carrying drugs.
However, Yin Mingzhi, who was shot with 16 knives, was already powerless at this time, and the drug dealer took the opportunity to break free and escape from the border. When his comrades arrived, he was already lying in a pool of blood, and the blood stained his shirt and the yellow earth beneath him. The comrades-in-arms endured the grief and quickly sent the two to the hospital for rescue. Unfortunately, Yin Mingzhi was seriously injured and died at 1:20 a.m. on August 3.
A young heart fell with the traces of a flash, and the border of the motherland had another wisp of loyalty. When Yin Mingzhi died, he was 2 months away from turning 21 years old, and there were only 4 months left before he was discharged from the army.

On October 16, 1976, Yin Mingzhi was born in Tongbiguan Township, Yingjiang County, to an ordinary cadre family, he was the only son in the family and had three younger sisters. Because his father worked in the government, he often ran to the border guard station next door to watch the armed police uncles train, so he had feelings for the army since he was a child. At the age of 4, his parents went abroad for business, which was 10 years, and he grew up with his uncle and aunt and eating hundreds of meals.
Whether it is a villager in the village or a teacher in school, he must give a thumbs up when he talks about Yin Mingzhi. According to tao Zihui, his primary school class teacher, Yin Mingzhi was a top student in school, was a squadron leader of the Young Pioneers, and was named a "three good student" every year. On weekdays, he is also a warm-hearted person, respecting the old and loving the young, uniting classmates, and actively participating in the activities of supporting the army every August 1st Founding Day.
In April 1993, Yin Mingzhi and his classmates were swimming in the Zhanda River, when they suddenly heard someone shouting for help, and it turned out that li Xiaodong, a fellow villager, accidentally drowned. Seeing that he was about to be engulfed by the river, Yin Mingzhi was the first to swim over and, with the help of his classmates, saved Li Xiaodong from the shore. Yin Mingzhi has also done this kind of deeds, such as in 1994, he rescued a little girl who fell into the river in the Yingjiang River.
After joining the army, he was also a good seedling in the army, and received 6 commendations in more than 2 years, and was successively rated as "Lei Feng Pacesetter" and "Excellent Soldier". Every time there was a field mission in the station, he took the initiative to ask for help. Southern Xinjiang is humid and hot all year round, and every time he performs the task of setting up an ambush and blocking card, he has to hide in the dense forest and grassland infested with poisonous insects, and ordinary people simply cannot bear it, but Yin Mingzhi always rushes forward, never afraid of any hardships and hardships.
Yin Mingzhi's monthly allowance is only a few tens of yuan, but he has never forgotten his three younger sisters, and he has to send money to buy stationery for them every month. On the day of his mission, it was the 19th birthday of the eldest sister Yin Mingxia, and the two agreed to call, but the sister waited left and right in front of the phone, and did not expect that what was waiting was the bad news of her brother's sacrifice.
Just two days ago, aunt Fan Riqin also called the army and told Yin Mingzhi that his mother was seriously ill and that it was best to take a few days off to take care of her. But he was busy with intensive training, so he had to tell his aunt that he would write a letter to his mother. Who knows, before the letter could be written, he left, and he walked so hurriedly, so tragically...
