Xinmin Evening News (correspondent Zhang Xiaojun, Shi Mingming, reporter Jiang Yuezhong) "Dad, I couldn't give you a ride at the end, my son gave you a kowtow..." On the evening of April 3, Zhang Feng, captain of the 13th team on duty at the airport station of the Shanghai Border Inspection General Station, led the police to complete the task of inspecting the cargo and mail flights, returned to the centralized isolation point, and suddenly received the bad news of his father's death. He burst into tears in an instant, got down on his knees, and prostrated his head 3 times in the direction of his hometown, saying goodbye to his father, who was more than 700 kilometers away.

Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in 2020, the 13th team on duty has undertaken the inspection of cargo and mail flights at Pudong International Airport, accounting for one-third of the total number of airport and port inspections in the country. As a captain, he has always led by example and rushed to the "epidemic" line.
On March 27, on the eve of the sealing of the Pudong area of Shanghai, a group of comrades-in-arms rushed to their posts overnight and have been working for 8 consecutive days. Because most of the civilian police in the team continue to seal the control at home, they cannot come to reinforcements and replace. "We have completed the closed-loop task, we have been in centralized isolation for 8 days, the health and safety of the police is absolutely no problem, the most suitable as a reinforcement of police forces, I request to go to the front line." On April 4, Zhang Feng made a request to the station's party committee. When the station leader learned of the death of Zhang Feng's father, he called for condolences at the first time and arranged for him to evacuate in an orderly manner and go home to rest. Zhang Feng has been silently saying to himself: "When the epidemic in Shanghai recedes, I will definitely kowtow to my father's tomb, believing that he will support me and understand me as he did before he died..."

"One flight and one kill, one proof and one kill" "Persistence is victory, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Over the past few days, although Zhang Feng is in the isolation point, he has put aside family affairs, checking the front-line duty situation through video every day, caring for the health protection of the police, and cheering for everyone. When he was on duty in the closed loop, he was even more hands-on, deploying various work arrangements, strictly grasping the implementation of the epidemic prevention system, disposing of special services, and adjusting the setting of inspection areas... In the first quarter of 2022, Zhang Feng, who was dedicated to his work, led the whole team of police to complete the inspection task of 20235 cargo and mail flights, which was 2.4 times that of before the outbreak of the epidemic (2019), and always ensured the smooth flow of Shanghai and the world economic chain.
The mother of the child is worried. His family in Shandong was always worried about him. Early in the morning of April 7, my mother made a video call. "Feng'er, your father and I are old party members, you are busy, we don't blame you!" Today is your 50th birthday, live well, don't be sad..." The elderly mother couldn't help but sob when she saw her son, whose eyes were covered with blood and his body was obviously emaciated. Zhang Feng did not utter a word, and he was already in tears. Listening to his mother's nagging, Zhang Feng's heart was relieved.
"At present, the epidemic situation in Shanghai is in the most critical and arduous stage, and we at the Shanghai airport border inspectors must overcome all difficulties, guard the national gate, win victory, and never fail to live up to the solemn commitment of 'guarding a gate, protecting a city, and defending a country'." Zhang Feng said firmly.
