On this day, the Wan Chai Police Headquarters in Hong Kong was empty, and a unique and joyful party really did not see that this was the hub of the police. Some people say that watching this farewell scene shows how beloved the "second boss" is in the police force.

From the entrance of the Wan Chai Police Headquarters into the aisle, there were no police officers in police uniforms, and the two sides were lined up with plainclothes police officers, everyone applauded all the way and greeted the second "second sister" of the Police Force and Deputy Commissioner (National Security) Lau Chi Wai.
On the last day of work on the 28th, when she left the police headquarters, Liu Zhihui, who had always been tough, kept smiling, constantly waving to the farewell crowd, shaking her fists to thank the simple and solemn ceremony, and sometimes walking into the crowd to give high fives and laugh.
When someone played a song "Friends walk together for life" in a saxophone, Liu Cihui stopped, stood in front of the player, and waited for the end of the blowing to thank her before leaving.
On the platform, the Force Orchestra played Jacky Cheung's "Blessing Song", indicating that "saying goodbye is not too far away". In the midst of laughter, without understanding the situation, you will not know that this is the Hong Kong Police Headquarters.
"First brother" Xiao Zeyi also attended, everyone took a group photo, and the police sent flowers on behalf of the police force. While the band played the song "Friendship lasts forever", Lau Chee Wai boarded the car and left the police headquarters, officially ending her 38 years as a police officer.
Ms Lau joined the Hong Kong Police Force in 1984 at the age of 19 and has held various positions over the years, including criminal intelligence, drug investigation and commercial crime investigation. The National Security Law came into force on 30 June 2020 and Ms Lau was appointed Deputy Commissioner (National Security) in July 2020 as the head of the National Security Safeguarding Unit of the Force, becoming the first head of a national security department in the Force's history.
It is precisely because of the first place that it attracts special attention from the outside world. In November of that year, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against Chinese and Hong Kong officials, including Liu Cihui.
The Hong Kong Police Headquarters is probably the toughest of the Hong Kong government departments, and it is heavily guarded. I went in once more than a decade ago. That time, because he wrote about the death penalty case of Hong Kong drug criminals in the mainland, the case showed that the evidence was provided by the Hong Kong police, but the facts of the case showed that there were some problems with the procedure. Because several lives were involved, a member of the Hong Kong National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was asked to accompany him to meet with the then Hong Kong Commissioner of Police Tsang Wai-hung to learn more about the situation.
When you arrive at the police headquarters at the appointed time, there are people waiting at the door, there are higher-level police officers at the elevator door, and the chief superintendent of the Public Relations Division is waiting for the elevator to the top floor office, which is very rigorous and strict.
Recently, seeing the other side of the Hong Kong police after taking off the police uniform, the iron man showed tenderness. In fact, the original impression of the Hong Kong police was that of an ordinary member of Hong Kong's civility and courtesy.
