CCTV News (Reporter Xu Yeqing Zhu Chunyan): On the evening of October 11, Song Dongye, an artist who was arrested for drug abuse in 2016, posted a long article saying that his performance was canceled due to reports from many people.
In the article, he said, "Where there is no need, there is no supply, and in the case of drugs, 'supply' has been unilaterally creating 'need'!" It's always the drug dealer who kills people, not me! Later, he responded to netizens' questions on social platforms, saying that he "felt" that he was very aggrieved. But the vast majority of netizens do not "buy" this.
As early as March 19, 2014, the police found a stronghold of a drug addict in the apartment rented by singer Li Daimo, and then the screenwriter Ning Caishen was arrested for drug involvement, actors Zhang Yaoyang, He Shengdong, Zhang Mo, Gao Hu, Fang Zuming, Ke Zhendong and so on. The drug abuse incident of celebrities in the entertainment industry has also attracted much attention from public opinion, and some experts have said that the phenomenon and situation of drug use in this group are indeed "more obvious" than other groups.
Making mistakes, being arrested, apologizing, coming back... Behind the seemingly "understated" process, there is actually a group of people who are always confronting with drugs with their lives.
In March 1982, the first professional anti-narcotics team in New China, composed of 1,000 professional anti-narcotics police officers, was established in the southwest of Guomen. Shi Xiangning and Chen Jianjun are members of this anti-drug team.
Shi Xiangning
At 4 p.m. on September 27, 1986, when Shi Xiangning was blocking a card at the Menghai Binfang Power Station, a drug dealer tried to carry drugs through the checkpoint and was recognized by him. In order to catch the murderer, it was the rainy season, Shi Xiangning ignored the rapid flow of the quicksand river, jumped into the river with the drug dealer, and was swept into the rock pile by the rapids of the quicksand river, and was only 24 years old when he died.
Chen Jianjun
In 1987, Chen Jianjun's identity was exposed when he was on an undercover mission to contact the drug dealer, due to a communication failure, the police could not receive his request for reinforcements, he fought with the drug dealer alone, and finally fell out of the crowd, fell in a pool of blood, and died at the age of 25.
In today's era of peace, the anti-narcotics police are still one of the most risky police types.
On December 29, 2013, Guangdong police launched a "Thunder Sweeping Drug" operation. This is the largest anti-drug operation since the founding of New China, and the popular film and television work "Icebreaker Action" is based on this model. Although the plot of the play is "in one go", this is not the case in reality. "Actually, the anti-narcotics police are moving stones to find ants." The anti-narcotics police officer involved in the operation said in the dark during the interview.
For fear of retaliation from drug gangs, anti-drug police are often unable to appear in the public eye, and even interviews are mosaicked or obscured. And once they reveal their true identity, it is a black-and-white photo for the memorial, and sometimes they can't even carve their names on the tombstone...
Some people say that our years are quiet because some people carry heavy loads, and the anti-drug police always face difficulties in order to protect the pure land.
"I didn't deliberately choose this path, but I just naturally felt that I wanted to be a policeman." Zhang Ziquan, a narcotics police officer, talked about his choice before his death. In his view, the profession was sacred. His father, Zhang Congshun, was also a former anti-drug police officer, and in 1994, Zhang Congshun bravely fought a drug dealer while investigating a transnational drug trafficking case, and was killed by a drug dealer who detonated a grenade. At that time, Zhang Ziquan was only 10 years old.
On December 15, 2020, Zhang Ziquan died of a sudden illness due to overwork during the investigation of the special case, at the age of 36. Zhang Ziquan's 9-year anti-drug career, detected 158 drug cases, seized more than 20 tons of drugs, and traveled more than 300 days a year. He once said that handling a case is a race against time and a contest with criminal suspects.
In 2020, a total of 64,000 drug crimes were cracked nationwide, 92,000 criminal suspects were arrested, 55.5 tons of drugs were seized, and the number of newly discovered drug users decreased by 30.6% year-on-year. Behind these data is a piece of tranquility exchanged for the hard work of the anti-drug police, drug addicts may be able to "come back", but some anti-drug police can no longer "come back".
