First of all, on January 10th, I wish you all police comrades a happy holiday, you have worked hard, and I salute you!
Now every Chinese child has been educated since he was a child, and it is difficult to find a police uncle. When it comes to the police call, the first thing that comes to mind is still the simple but powerful number - 110. It is not only an emergency call for the Chinese public security department, but also a lifeline for the general public to seek help in times of crisis.
We tend to take 110 for granted. However, behind this combination of numbers lies a little-known history. Did you know that 999 or 911 was a candidate for the police call, but was eventually replaced by 110. So, what's going on?
Looking back on history, it is not difficult for us to find that the birth of 110 is actually full of accidents and inevitability. In the days of old-fashioned rotary phones, the number "9" took longer to make a call because of its special construction. Considering that every second counts in an emergency, the number 999 was ruled out. Similarly, 911, a well-known police number in the United States, is not available in China.
As a result, 110 has become the fastest and most effective way to call the police. 1 is the shortest number of the dial key travel, so the front takes two 1s, and 0 is the farthest number, many people wonder, why add the farthest number, three 1s are not the shortest and fastest? and the relevant departments explained, why take the last number as "0", is to give people a buffer time, because when people dial 110 must be particularly anxious, this dial "0" The purpose is to let people's emotions ease a little, let their minds clear a little, and organize what they want to say on the phone for a while.
Since its official opening nationwide in 1996, 110 has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with its irreplaceable and important position. Whenever people encounter an emergency such as robbery, fraud, fight, etc., their first instinct is to call this simple and easy-to-remember number. And the public security officers behind 110 have always stuck to their posts and are always ready to provide timely assistance to the people.
Nowadays, we are used to dialing 110. This digital combination has become a part of our lives, linked to safety and emergency.
However, who was the first to use 110, do you know? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area
