Sow the seeds of traffic safety with love - remembering Qingdao traffic policeman Li Yong

"On the morning of October 2, the upward traffic flow in the jurisdiction of the second squadron of the G15 Shenhai Expressway increased significantly, and it is recommended that drivers plan their travel routes in advance. In addition, drivers are reminded to concentrate on driving vehicles, extend and maintain a safe distance..." This is the last Microblog posted the day before the death of Li Yong, a squadron leader of the traffic police detachment of the Qingdao Municipal Public Security Bureau in Shandong Province and the second squadron of the Third Expressway Brigade.

At about 1 o'clock in the evening of October 3, when Li Yong and auxiliary police officer Zhang Chenggong were patrolling the Shenhai Expressway, they found a car illegally parked in the emergency lane, so they went forward to identify themselves for interrogation. During the interrogation, Li Yong found that the driver was suspected of drunk driving and was ready to test him for alcohol in accordance with the law. However, the driver refused to cooperate, crossed from the gap in the guardrail to the outside of the guardrail, grabbed the bridge deck, and caused the half of the body to hang in the air, and could fall at any time.

Li Yong patrolled here for many years, knowing that there was a culvert below, and the driver was likely to be seriously injured if he fell. In order to protect the personal safety of the driver, Li Yong leaned out of the guardrail, grabbed the driver and dragged him upwards, shouting: "Come back!" Can't hold back! fast! fast! ”

Zhang Chenggong immediately rushed up, with Li Yong tightly clasping the driver's wrist, the driver was thus out of danger, but Li Yong lost his center of gravity because the driver tried to break free, fell from the side of the guardrail, fell to the drainage ditch under the culvert bridge, and was only 55 years old after ineffective rescue.

In the 16 years of his career as a policeman, he created 10 kinds of "warm tips" gestures, completed more than 390 various traffic security tasks, handled more than 1,060 simple accidents, published 16,218 work microblogs, and donated nearly 30,000 milliliters of blood.

In 1986, at the age of 20, Li Yong joined the army and has since grown from an ordinary soldier to a good officer. During his tenure as an assistant in the Transport Unit of a logistics department, he had traveled a total of 1.2 million kilometers, maintaining "zero accidents" for six consecutive years. In 2005, Li Yong was transferred from the army to the public security department, and at the age of 39, he was assigned to the People's Road Squadron of the Sifang Brigade as a traffic policeman.

Li Guosong, the current deputy commander of the Qingdao North Brigade, served as an instructor in the Renmin Road Squadron in 2007. He clearly remembers that in the morning rush hour of traffic in July 2007, a heavy rain raided Qingdao, and Li Yong, who was on duty near the Yanshan overpass, fished out more than 10 license plates from the water. Li Yong knew that the owner of the car without a license plate would be very anxious, and he returned to the brigade after work to check the license plate one by one and contact the owner.

"Since then, I have determined that he is a good policeman who is serious and responsible!" Li Guosong said.

In order to implement the Ministry of Public Security's guiding ideology that 17 kinds of minor traffic violations should be based on education, Li Yong combined whistles with body language in his duty according to his previous psychological knowledge and human behavior habits, and pioneered 10 kinds of "warm gestures".

After the "warm gesture" was widely promoted in the local area, there were fewer acts of driving mobile phones, smoking, and not wearing seat belts, and the resulting traffic accidents and congestion were also reduced.

"As traffic police, we are to ensure the safety of every traffic participant through the strictest law enforcement." This is a consistent oath that Li Yong has taken with his life.

Li Yong's friend and staff member of Haibo Rental Company, Li Jianjun, still remembers that someone was temporarily detained by Li Yong for traffic violations, and he hoped that Li Jianjun would come forward to find Li Yong to "say a favor." "I will never look for Li Yong, I know his principles of life." Li Jianjun said that he has known Li Yong for more than 10 years and has never sought out Li Yong for personal matters. However, whenever Li Jianjun proposed to ask Li Yong to come to the company to give a safety lesson to the driver, Li Yong always agreed happily.

In 2017, the 51-year-old Li Yong was transferred to the Tongsan Highway Brigade as the squadron leader of the second squadron.

Compared with other police types, the high-speed traffic police is more special: the passing vehicle speed is high; the road surface is dark at night; because it is far from the city, the high-speed traffic police often have 48 hours a day...

The second squadron has a large traffic flow, complex traffic conditions, and is far from the hospital. Every time there is a drunk driving investigation, Li Yong will personally take the drunk driver to the hospital to draw blood, and then take pictures and fill out legal documents. The work is usually busy for 3 hours, sometimes until the early morning or even the morning of the next day.

In the eyes of the second squadron of police auxiliary police, Li Yong's law enforcement is not only a ticket, but a traffic safety popularization law with "temperature" again and again.

On April 8 this year, a young man was driving 20% overcrowding, and when he tried to drive the car on the highway, Li Yong saw the flaw and stopped him.

"You're still in your internship and you're not allowed to get on the highway alone!" What if something goes wrong? Cars will break and people will die! "It's not easy to come out and do a job, have you ever considered the consequences..." Li Yong said bitterly, making the young man lower his head.

In 2012, Li Yong also opened a microblog "Traffic Police Li Yong" to publicize traffic safety, answer questions for netizens, and plant the seeds of traffic safety in the hearts of more people.

In order to let more people understand traffic safety knowledge more intuitively, Li Yong used his spare time to spend more than 20,000 yuan to learn three-dimensional animation production technology. Kindergarten children, workers at construction sites, auxiliary police officers who have just joined the work... They are all his subjects.

"Traffic safety lessons should be targeted according to different audiences, which is the basis, and it must also be immersive for listeners." Li Yong once wrote.

After Li Yong's sacrifice, his colleague opened his laptop and found that the courseware in the folder was arranged in an orderly manner: highway safety courseware, auxiliary police training courseware, a factory training courseware...

In recent years, Li Yong has helped the masses extinguish spontaneous combustion of motor vehicles more than 10 times, used 11 rotten maps of Qingdao to guide countless people, and 33 times opened the way for vehicles carrying critically ill patients such as amputation, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and miscarriage to the hospital.

Since joining the work, Li Yongrong has made personal first-class merit once, second-class merit 3 times, and third-class merit 4 times, and has won the honorary titles of advanced worker in Shandong Province and my favorite top ten people's policemen in the province, and is recognized by the masses as a "good policeman" and "good traffic policeman".

Li Yong was also the earliest participant in the "Qingdao Good Driver" public welfare organization. His departure made Tian Pengfei, head of the "Qingdao Good Driver" public welfare organization, very sad: "I still remember a snowy day, when Li Yong was on duty on the street, he lay on the front cover of the passing car, so that the front wheels that slid in the snow could find adhesion again and pass smoothly." Every time I think of Li Yong, I always feel that the next intersection, he is still there..."

After Li Yong's sacrifice, in just one day, his Weibo followers increased by more than 8,000 people, and the number is still growing. Some netizens left a message: "Many years ago, I still remember the way you directed traffic on Yanji Road, all the way! "Seeing this news, my mind is full of the figure of you directing the traffic to run!" Rest in peace! In this way, they remember "traffic policeman Li Yong."
