Spring in the border areas was late, Pishan County in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region had just warmed up, and the sandstorm arrived as promised, and the dust was everywhere and the sky and earth were yellow.
Pishan Mountain has a lot of wind and sand, the Taklamakan Desert in the north stretches for thousands of miles, and the Karakoram Mountains in the south are blocked, and there are more than 200 days of "eating soil" in a year.
Argati Mamuti, former deputy director of the Pishan County Public Security Bureau, grew up between this snowy mountain and the Han sea. The pain of the side plug has made him a strong and enthusiastic personality. He often said, "Fight the enemy fiercely, and love the people sincerely." ”
In September 2016, Ereti died heroically in the fight against terrorism, and his life was frozen at the age of 46, and he was buried in his hometown guarded with his blood. To this day, people still remember him and spread his story by word of mouth.
It is said that Ereti Mamuti is an excellent people's policeman, a true Communist Party member, and a people's hero.

In 1969, Ageti Mamu was born in Koktirek Township, Pishan County, where he spent his youth. After graduating from the Xinjiang People's Police Academy in July 1989, he returned to Pishan and became a people's policeman.
Kok tirek Township has a large area, a large population and many cases, and is the township with the most complicated social security in Pishan.
In 1996, Ereti was sent to the Kokterek Township Police Station, where he worked for 17 years.
In 2005, Abulati Ahmet, a high school classmate of Ereti, was transferred to the Kokterek Township police station.
"At that time, Ereti's temperament changed a lot: he was introverted when he was studying, and he was capable and decisive when he was at the police station." Abulati said that Agereti not only knows the geographical distribution, natural environment, road traffic and other conditions of the 25 villages in the township, but also establishes a deep relationship with the villagers.
Mutarif Maimaiti, the current chief of the Kokterek Township Police Station, was once Argetty's "soldier".
"He takes the lead in everything he does. We don't understand, he patiently answered. "But if you don't understand and don't ask, he will criticize you fiercely." ”
Knowing that Mutarif had many brothers and sisters attending university and the family's financial situation was tense, Agerati took 100 yuan out of his salary of eight or nine hundred yuan a month to give Mutarif as living expenses, so that he could rest assured.
"We must uphold the fairness and rigor of the law as we love our own eyes." Ereti often warned the police in this way, which is also the basic belief he has always upheld in his police career.
Professional and dedicated, strict and warm.
Under the leadership of Ereti, the Kok tirek Township Police Station honored and equaled: "advanced unit for law enforcement quality work", "annual advanced collective for public security work", "annual advanced unit for comprehensive management of social security" and so on. Ereti was rated as an outstanding civil servant and outstanding party member 13 times, a second-class meritorious service and a third-class meritorious service 5 times, and in 2010, he was named "the director of the people's satisfaction police station in Xinjiang".
In March 2014, Ereti was transferred to the Pishan County Public Security Bureau as an instructor of the public security brigade, and in July of the same year, he was also appointed as the director of the "Strike Hard Office". In October 2015, he was appointed deputy director of the Pishan County Public Security Bureau.
"The biggest feature of Deputy Director Ereti is that he clings to the case. There are many seemingly unimportant details, but he can see the clues from them, through deep digging and detailed investigation, expanding the line of tracking, and finally successfully solving the case. Police officer Song Longjiang recalled.

Argyti Mamuti and his wife, Mayinur Nizamuddin, have known each other since childhood, and the two fell in love freely, marrying in 1991.
After the marriage, Ereti devoted himself to work so much that every time Mayinur gave birth, he was not around. When the eldest daughter, Gulimire Eger, was born, Mayinur had difficulty giving birth and struggled alone in the delivery bed for more than 20 hours.
Ereti was also sorry and apologized to his wife: "I can't take care of the house, you are too tired!" ”
"I want nothing but my husband's peace." At first, Mayinur inevitably felt lonely and aggrieved, but remembering the warmth and thoughtfulness of Ereti, she slowly understood her husband and supported the whole family alone.
Ereti, who gathers less with his family, is close to the masses.
On July 3, 2015, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck Pishan County, and Ereti took the initiative to ask for help and rushed to the front line of the disaster. Investigate the disaster, divert traffic, set up tents, rescue property, resettle the victims... On that day, Ereti led his comrades to rescue more than 20 trapped people from the ruins and evacuated more than 5,000 people.
After the relief effort, Agerati returned home to see his wife, alone with three children, cleaning up her damaged house. He felt guilty: "I am not good, let you suffer." ”
After the second daughter, Gu Liqire, graduated from junior high school, her father sent her to hami thousands of miles away to go to school. At a young age, she was afraid of life in a foreign land. Recalling her father's original fierce determination, Gu Liqi's heart was only grateful: "Dad loves us in a rational and calm way. ”
After the birth of the third daughter Gu Lize, As long as Ai Reti returned home, he must hug her and play happily with her. Gulchi was keenly aware that the father's love for his daughters grew with increasing age, "as if with a kind of urgency to compensate."
Everything is moving in a good direction.
Gu Liqire was admitted to Xinjiang University of Finance and Economics. On the eve of Eid al-Adha in 2016, when the school was closed, her father called her to go home.
The family had a reunion pilaf. At the dinner table, father's words were many. "What are your plans for the October holidays?" Father asked.
"I just went home and I won't be back in October." She said.
"Let's come back." Father looked at her gently and said slowly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > three</h1>
Unexpectedly, this was Gulchire's last conversation with her father. 2 days later, the bad news came...
On the afternoon of September 10, 2016, Agereti led the police to Kokterek Township to carry out a search. According to the clues, Ah Mou, a fugitive wanted by the Ministry of Public Security's Class A wanted order, is hiding somewhere.
Houses, barns, bushes, cornfields... Minute by minute, the scene was almost searched, but no one was seen. Ereti did not give up. Just when he and his comrades-in-arms searched less than 10 meters away from the forest belt, A Suddenly appeared.
"Hidden!" Ereti shouted, and at the same time decisively drew his gun and fired. Between the lightning stones and the fire, a huge explosion sounded. Ereti fell to the ground, bleeding profusely...
In 27 years since the police, this is not the first time that Ereti has stood in front of his comrades.
"Whenever danger arises, he is always the first to enter the central site, closest to the potential danger." Remembering Ereti, Mutarib's eye circles turned red.
Ahmad Tijan Mamuti will never forget that day. When he arrived at the hospital, the corridor was crowded with cadres, police officers and the masses, and "everyone wept for his departure."
The day before the sacrifice, Agerati promised his wife on the phone: "When you are done with this mission, go home and spend Eid al-Adha with you." Before he could deliver on his promise, Agerati left forever.
"I live alone in such an empty house..." Faced with an empty home, Mayinur was deeply saddened.
After the news of Ageti's death came out, many people spontaneously came to attend his funeral. Villager Abulizi Usman fondly recalls that he was a good man, a man who served the people.
"He has an innate heroic temperament, a fighting spirit of sacrificing his life and forgetting death and charging forward at all times, and he is a veritable people's hero." Zhang Xiaoqin, political commissar of the Muji Branch of the Pishan County Public Security Bureau, said.
On September 17, 2019, President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree awarding Ireti Mamuti and four others the national honorary title of "People's Hero"; on September 25, 2019, Ireti Mamuti was awarded the honorary title of "The Most Beautiful Strivers".
The hero is gone, but the spirit lives on. In recent years, the Hotan District Public Security Bureau has carried forward the lofty spirit of the "people's hero" Ereti Mamuti and completely reversed the rampant situation of the "three forces." There have been no violent terrorist cases in Xinjiang for more than four consecutive years.
Time can dilute grief, but it cannot replace endless thoughts.
Now, when walking with the children, looking at the stable and peaceful streets, Mayinur said that "her husband's blood did not flow in vain"; Guli Mire put on a police uniform and became a police officer in the Pishan County Public Security Bureau; Gu Liqire named her newborn son Kahereman, meaning "hero", in honor of the child's grandfather.
On the wall of the conference room of the Kokterek Township Police Station hangs a photograph of Ereti. Mutarev often looked into those calm eyes, and his mind seemed to return to the days when he was fighting side by side with his master.
