Recently, pianist Li Yundi has attracted widespread attention for his detention for prostitution, and the "sunrise masses" behind this case have once again become the focus of the public.
Since Xue Manzi in 2013, chaoyang police have investigated and dealt with many illegal cases of celebrity prostitution and drug abuse, all of which originated from reports from Chaoyang masses. Netizens joked that Chaoyang Masses is the "fifth largest intelligence agency in the world" alongside the US Central Intelligence Agency and the Russian Federal Security Service.
Today's "Chaoyang Masses", with its own official public account, exclusive cartoon image, and encyclopedia entry, is a huge organization that has 140,000 people registered in real names 4 years ago.
Walking on the streets of Beijing's Chaoyang District, those who serve and patrol on the road, under the umbrella shed, outside the subway, in front of the community, those security guards, janitors, retirees, and volunteers, are all figurative "Chaoyang masses", who make the lawbreakers have nowhere to hide.
The streets are full of "Sunrise Mass Volunteer Posts"
On October 23, Jimu News reporters saw a number of red umbrella sheds with the words Chaoyang Mass Volunteer Gang on the streets of the East Third Ring Road in Chaoyang District.
Security Guard Trail (pseudonym), who wears a red armband, is in his 20s and has been working in Beijing for a year and a half, and he will be on duty at a volunteer post every week. He told Jimu News that the work of the volunteer post is mainly to maintain the cleanliness of the road surface and respond to the inquiries of passers-by in a timely manner, from the 1.1 km area along the third ring road of Hujialou Subway To Changhong Bridge, which is the scope of work of the volunteer post.

"The duty time is from 8 am to 6 pm, and this volunteer post is rotated, sometimes by volunteer uncles and aunts, and sometimes by our security guards." Koji said.
In the Ertiao community of Tuanjie Hubei, the reporter met the East Gate janitor Uncle Lao Wang (pseudonym), who is a native of Heilongjiang and has been working in Beijing for 3 years. Wearing a little red hat with the capital's security volunteers printed on his head, he was observing everyone entering and leaving the community at the entrance of the community. When a vehicle comes in, he wants to observe the license plate and press the button to lift the railing in time; when he encounters a young man pulling a box, he immediately asks the other party whether he has just returned to Beijing from abroad and needs to measure the temperature registration information.

Lao Wang told the Jimu News reporter that there are more than 10,000 people living in the Two Communities in Tuantuan, Hubei Province, and there are 3 doors in the community. For the daily maintenance of law and order, "not only the community, but also the security company will also train." Every day, he patrols the area near the east gate of the community several times, and when he encounters a raw face, he will ask more "who to find" or "what to do".
More than 140,000 people were registered in the real name of "Chaoyang Masses"
Xiao Lu and Lao Wang are the ordinary two of the "Chaoyang Masses".
Chaoyang District is located in the south-central part of Beijing, and public information shows that it is the largest district in Beijing's urban area. There is the nationally famous CBD, where the vast majority of foreign embassies are gathered, as well as the main venues of the 1990 Asian Games and the 2008 Olympic Games, and The Night Center Sanlitun in Beijing, which is a popular gathering place for celebrities in Beijing. According to the data of the seventh population census, as of 00:00 on November 1, 2020, the permanent population of Chaoyang District is 3452460 people.
The "Sunrise Masses" first attracted public attention, dating back to 2013. At that time, the Beijing public security microblog "Safe Beijing" reported that on August 23, 2013, according to reports from the public, Chaoyang police seized Xue and Zhang, who were engaged in prostitution, in a small area of Anhui Beili. Among them, Xue Mou was confirmed to be the network big V Xue Manzi.
Since then, Li Daimo, Ning Caishen, Gao Hu, Yin Xiangjie, Wang Xuebing, Gao Hu, Huang Haibo, Wang Quan'an and many other people in the entertainment industry have been reported by the Beijing Chaoyang masses for drug abuse or prostitution, and later investigated and punished by the police, and now Li Yundi's name has been added to this list.

In an article published by Xinhua News Agency titled "The Arrest of Soviet Spies", even as early as 1974, the masses in Chaoyang District organized themselves to become militias and captured Soviet spies together with the police.
Not everyone who lives in Chaoyang District is called "Chaoyang Masses". In early February 2017, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau launched the "Chaoyang Masses HD" mobile phone application, through which the public can send text, pictures, videos and other clues to the police. Two months after the launch of the APP, the number of registered users reached more than 50,000 and more than 3,000 clues were received.
Liu Wei, a lecturer at the China Public Security University, wrote in a paper titled "An Analysis of Building a Community Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Collection System in the New Era" that in 2017, more than 140,000 "Chaoyang masses" registered in real names in Chaoyang District. This group is a collective term for safety volunteers such as shopping mall security guards, red armband volunteers, and ordinary people. In recent years, the "Chaoyang Masses" have provided the police with an average of nearly 20,000 clues per month suspected of breaking the law and committing crimes.
A 2017 report in the Legal Evening News used the Huayan Beilixi community in Chaoyang District as an example to analyze the composition of mass volunteers. There are 890 mass volunteers in the community, of whom 33.3% are volunteer patrol members, 22.2% are security volunteers, 22.2% are security activists, and the rest are members of party member patrols and full-time patrols.
Don't expect anything in return just because of high awareness
As the number of "sunrise masses" increases, the influence is also increasing, and it has gradually become an Internet celebrity.
In September 2015, the Beijing police launched the cartoon images of "Chaoyang Masses" and "Xicheng Big Mama" originally designed by the police through the official Weibo, and made cartoon image cultural shirts, which were given to enthusiastic netizens who actively participated in the activities together with anti-terrorism propaganda materials.

In November 2016, "Chaoyang Masses" became CCTV's 2016 Rule of Law Figure Candidate. On Baidu Encyclopedia, it is explained as "a mass organization in Beijing that cracked many major cases."
In order to improve the ability of the "Chaoyang masses" to identify "bad people", the relevant departments of Chaoyang District will organize regular training, summarize the experience of "eight discoveries and eight reports" such as strangers who find mentally weak and emaciated, report when men often enter the women's rental houses with exposed clothes at night, and organize volunteers to patrol the front line during large-scale activities such as APEC meetings.
According to previous media reports, in May 2017, when a "sunrise crowd" patrolled, he found that a newly moved young man always ordered multiple takeaways by himself, and reported this suspicious situation to the community police. The local police found that there were still 6 prostitutes living in the rental house and netted them all.
However, the "sunrise masses" will occasionally look away. In 2018, some Chaoyang people found that there were often strange men and women in and out of neighbors' homes, and there were constantly loud voices similar to "shouting slogans", thinking that it was a fraud pyramid scheme den, so they reported to the police. The police arrived only to find that it was actually a few young people playing a live quiz game.
Of course, most of the "sunrise masses" do not have these extraordinary experiences. Xiao Lu told reporters, "Reporting spies and finding clues of drug addicts seem to be far away from me." He said that the people in the capital are still of high quality overall, and volunteers can be seen everywhere on the road during major festivals, providing various services and supervising illegal acts.
Lao Wang said that in the three years since he engaged in this job, he had not encountered clues of drug abuse and prostitution. He admired the enthusiastic and keen volunteers, especially the elderly uncles and aunts, "Every morning in the morning rush hour, you see people at the intersection with small flags to maintain traffic order, and the garbage can recycling stations that supervise you to do garbage sorting are retired elderly people who are volunteers." They also have two more activities on the street every month, and yesterday they were still on the road. Lao Wang said, "They also have no return, and sometimes some volunteer welfare is mainly high consciousness." ”
