Film and Television World Life Record

Xia Jie's mother would complain about Xia's father's colleagues when he died, she would hold a grudge, she would use her connections to send her daughter to police academy, she would demand all kinds of preferential treatment, and she would take all of this for granted.

Li Dawei, the first among the newly recruited police officers, had poor grades in school but always managed to barely pass. He was optimistic and cheerful, loved helping others, and was always elected as a class leader. However, he was also a troublesome student for teachers because he had many ideas and was disobedient.

After graduating from police academy, his grades were poor, and he was assigned to the Balihe Police Station as a makeshift job. However, his stubborn personality and his daring and enterprising spirit made many people think he was a promising police officer.

Yang Shu, a master's graduate from Peking University, passed the exam for the municipal bureau and was assigned to grassroots training, which led him to the Balihe Police Station.

His arrival was highly valued by the Balihe Police Station, as the station was in dire need of highly educated personnel, and he became a prized asset in the eyes of the station chief. However, Yang Shu also had his shortcomings; he had a bookish air about him, and when faced with disputes and conflicts, he was overly idealistic. This was the reason he was sent to the Balihe Police Station for training.

Zhao Jiwei was the least noticeable of the four. He didn't have a good family background, a good education, or a tough personality; he was just like most of us. He could only try his best to stand out, single-mindedly wanting to accomplish great things, showcase himself, and find an opportunity to get ahead.

Unfortunately, the more he wanted to make a name for himself and the more eager he was to show off, the more trouble he caused.

Overall, this is a good show, but there are also some frustrating aspects, such as the police being portrayed as too weak.

The plot emphasizes the police's tolerance, grievances, and sacrifices, ultimately giving the impression that... these police officers are too aggrieved and cowardly, they have no principles and just compromise with unreasonable people!

In many cases, the biggest problem is not the facts of the case, nor the fair and just resolution of the matter according to law, but the fear of public opinion and complaints.

It seems that resolving matters legally and fairly is less important than the rigid performance evaluation standard of "public satisfaction" set by higher authorities.

As soon as a bad guy makes a fuss or files a complaint, fearing being held accountable by his superiors, the police station immediately backs down and tolerates him, then turns around and persuades the victim to back down.

The old man and his children in the dog-walking case, in particular, really exemplified the extremes of being unreasonable and making trouble out of nothing.

Even though it was the dog that was walking itself without a leash, scaring a young child to tears, the person who made the accusation is now demanding compensation from the other party.

Even after the police arrived at the scene, the old man's arrogance did not subside at all. He even staged a "fainting and extorting money" act, which was truly shocking.

After being taken to the hospital, the examination revealed no problems, but he insisted on pretending to be sick and refusing to get up.

His children arrived later, and they were experts in this area. They first caused a scene at the hospital, and then carried the old man to cause a scene at the police station, with only one goal: to extort money.

The most ridiculous thing is that the old man, who was so angry that he fell ill, stood up from the stretcher and walked into the office when the stretcher couldn't be carried in. Then he lay down on the table and groaned.

After the police presented the video surveillance evidence to the family, seeing that they couldn't get anything out of the police, they left the police station cursing and went to the victim's home to cause trouble.

They used every means imaginable—banging on doors, hurling insults, splashing paint—to disrupt the victim's family's lives, leaving the children crying inside and the adults too afraid to even leave the house.

What's most infuriating is that the police officers handling the case were completely helpless. The elderly man involved was over seventy years old and couldn't be detained, and they couldn't find direct evidence to identify his children who were causing trouble, so they couldn't arrest them either.

Some people's evil is etched into their bones and flows in their blood. The dog-walking man and his family acted as if they were saying, "I'm going to extort money from you, I'm going to cause trouble, what can you do about it?"

And what happened? The police in the show advised the victims to be tolerant and sign a settlement agreement, claiming that "peace and tranquility are too precious" and that once they signed, the victims would stop causing trouble.

It's all about whoever cries is right, and whoever makes a scene is right.

What kind of peace is this? What is precious? Good people suffer and are wronged, all in exchange for so-called peace?

In another scene, Ms. Wu came to the police station to report that her child was missing. Officer Xia Jie received her and, after registering her information, asked Ms. Wu to have her blood drawn for testing in accordance with relevant regulations, which is a normal procedure.

However, this request seemed to touch a nerve with Ms. Wu, who believed that Xia Jie had cursed her child to have an accident. Later, through the efforts of Xia Jie and her mentor, Ms. Wu's child was finally found.

Instead of showing any gratitude, Ms. Wu slapped Xia Jie and went to the police station the next day to complain about Xia Jie, demanding that Xia Jie apologize in person for what she had said the day before.

Xia Jie felt wronged, believing she hadn't done anything wrong and had even been slapped, so she refused her request. Ms. Wu then filed a complaint with the bureau and then the provincial authorities.

Faced with questioning from the bureau, the director, left with no other option, actually advised Xia Jie to apologize. Xia Jie knew she hadn't done anything wrong and had no desire to go.

Finally, the director decided to personally apologize with the instructor and deputy director. Seeing this, Xia Jie had no choice but to give up her insistence and go to Ms. Wu's house.

What did Xia Jie do wrong? No! She even helped someone find their lost child, but because of a fabricated "mistake," she has to pay the price for someone else's unreasonable demands.

Watching this drama, you'll find that the more reasonable and honest a person is, the more likely they are to suffer losses. On the contrary, those who are unreasonable and argumentative, even if they are police officers, are sometimes quite helpless and have to endure grievances and coax and persuade them.

To avoid making a big fuss and getting held accountable by higher-ups.

……

In the drama, what the police fear most is not the difficulty of the case, but rather the disturbance, the reports filed against them, and the petitions to higher authorities.

When someone acts unreasonably, the police back down, failing to demonstrate the authority of public power and the fairness and impartiality of the law.

What did Xia Jie do wrong? He followed the procedures strictly. Just because he touched a nerve with Ms. Wu and made her feel bad, he started making a fuss and filing all sorts of reports, making a policeman who did nothing wrong apologize to her.

However, the police, from the chief to the station chief, all admitted it. In order to prevent the other party from making further trouble, they actually gave in to the other party's demands and made Xia Jie apologize.

Is this really a good thing? Good people suffer injustice, while those who cause trouble show no remorse and go unpunished.

There was also an old rogue who would stage accidents to extort money. When he was young, he abused his wife every day, even beating her in front of their young children until she went deaf. He never fulfilled any of his parental responsibilities.

This liar, inhuman, and cunning old rogue, who was diagnosed with a terminal illness and needed a liver transplant, staged an accident on a bus to extort money from a woman carrying a child, hoping she would pay for his medical treatment.

Unfortunately, there was surveillance footage, so instead of extorting money, they blamed the police.

Since no guardian could be found and the hospital was unwilling to admit him, the kind-hearted director Wang Shouyi not only paid for his medical treatment out of his own pocket but also called on the institute to donate money to him. He also sent Li Dawei to take care of him and clean up his bodily waste.

The most bizarre thing is that in order to find a guardian for the old man as soon as possible, they found his son, who had long severed ties with the old man, and asked him to take responsibility.

In the end, the son, who had lived in his father's shadow since childhood and hated the old man to the core, turned out to be a kind-hearted and good person. After much persuasion from the police, he came to the hospital, finally relented, and decided to donate part of his liver to save the old man's life.

Bad people go unpunished, while good people have to endure and make sacrifices.

This is the most frustrating aspect of the show: good people have to be patient, kind, accommodating, and suffer injustice. Bad people, on the other hand, are quite carefree. As long as they are unreasonable and make a scene, the police will back down, making the wronged and reasonable good people step back and let things pass.

Throughout the entire series, apart from a very few criminal cases, the rest of the cases basically ended in "reconciliation".

Regardless of whether they are good or bad, right or wrong, or who was wronged or who started the incident.

The film is filled with concessions, compromises, and helplessness. Most of the time, people try to smooth things over, and the bad guys don't receive the punishment they deserve, while the good guys don't get the results they want.

This infuriated Li Mu, because he was afraid of complaints, afraid of his superiors' opinions, and afraid of facing public opinion. His timid and hesitant approach to handling matters, resulting in so many unsavory attempts to smooth things over, was extremely frustrating.

If he were a policeman, he wouldn't have put up with this humiliation when he went in.

As long as he does the right thing, doesn't make mistakes, has a clear conscience, and doesn't break the law, he's not afraid of any public complaints!

As long as you're still in police uniform, if you dare to cause trouble or act unreasonably, thinking that whoever cries or makes a scene is right, I'll teach you a lesson.

Good people shouldn't shed tears, and bad people should pay the price they deserve, instead of trying to smooth things over.

This is what the police should do, and what they should uphold.

These thoughts raced through my mind, and before I knew it, it was evening. After dinner, it was exactly seven o'clock.

Li Mu returned to his bedroom and lay down on the bed. With a thought, a flash of light appeared, and he disappeared.

……

Early in the morning, Li Mu woke up and realized that he had entered the world of Police Honor.

Lying motionless in bed, Li Mu began to organize his thoughts and memories to understand the current situation.

In this world, he is still called Li Mu, but he is already twenty-six years old. He has been a police officer for four years and is a proud people's policeman.

As an outstanding graduate of the Provincial Public Security University, Li Mu went directly to the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment after graduation. After completing his one-year internship, he was awarded the rank of Third-Class Police Sergeant.

Among the police force, criminal investigators are the easiest to earn merits. Over the past three years, Li Mu has become an experienced criminal investigator, accumulating numerous merits, both big and small. Recently, he was promoted to the rank of First-Class Police Superintendent.

Following the usual procedure, officers are promoted every three years. A third-class superintendent would need six years to be promoted to first-class superintendent, and there can be no mistakes during that time.

Li Mu's performance can be considered that of a promising young man.

However, some time ago, there was a vacancy for deputy squadron leader in the detachment. Li Mu also wanted to get promoted, but given his seniority, there was naturally no result.

Coincidentally, when I was studying at the police academy, I had a teacher with whom I had a good relationship. We often played ball together. Recently, he was transferred to Qingdao City and became the deputy director of the political department of the municipal bureau.

The rank isn't high. Let alone the deputy director of the political department, even the director has a whole bunch of higher-ups above him, such as the bureau chief, political commissar, executive deputy bureau chief, and deputy bureau chief.

However, the Political Department of the Public Security Bureau is responsible for political work and is a direct working department of the Party Committee, directly undertaking the Party Committee's work. Specifically, it is mainly responsible for organization and propaganda work. It has an Organization Department and a Propaganda Department, which are externally referred to as the Personnel Training Section and the Propaganda Section.

The Personnel and Training Department is primarily responsible for personnel management, cadre appointment and removal, and cadre education. The Publicity Department is responsible for ideological and theoretical education, news, and the development of organizational culture.

The deputy director of the political department may not be a high-ranking official in the municipal bureau, but he still wields some power.

Chapter 351 Balilihe Police Station

As a former teacher and fellow ball player with whom he had a good relationship, it was natural for Li Mu to pay a visit when the other party came to take up a new position as a leader.

During this time, Teacher Liu learned about Li Mu's situation over the past few years and gave him some suggestions.

Given Li Mu's seniority, it would be difficult for him to advance within the Criminal Investigation Division. There are plenty of capable and experienced people there, all waiting to be promoted!

He's just a newbie in criminal investigation who's only been working for a few years, and he's not some rich kid. It's too difficult for him to get promoted right now.

For a public servant to advance their career and go further, diverse experience and experience in multiple positions are essential.

Especially those in grassroots positions, and those with grassroots work experience.

At that time, Teacher Liu revealed to him that the Municipal Bureau was planning to respond to the call from higher authorities and improve the professional skills of grassroots police stations.

The plan is to select a group of experienced and capable officers from the municipal bureau to serve in grassroots police stations that rank poorly throughout the city, in order to comprehensively improve the policing capabilities of these stations.

Because the assignments were from the municipal bureau to local police stations, which were located in remote suburbs, many people were unwilling to go, even though they would be given the position of deputy director or deputy instructor. Who knew if they could come back after being assigned to a post there?

After all, it's the municipal bureau. Even if you're just a low-level soldier, you're still far superior to those in the local police stations.

Li Mu's qualifications are somewhat lacking, so it would be a stretch for him to be directly appointed as a deputy director or deputy instructor. However, many of the qualified and capable officers in the bureau already have promising futures within the municipal bureau, and many are unwilling to go to the grassroots level, especially to remote police stations in the suburbs.

Under these circumstances, the standards set by the Municipal Bureau were slightly relaxed, and Li Mu barely met the requirements for the temporary posting.

Teacher Liu said that if Li Mu was willing, he could put in a good word for him and try to secure a temporary post.

If you want to build a solid foundation and go further in this field, it's much better to serve as a deputy director in a local police station for two years than to stay in the criminal investigation team to gain seniority and work day and night with a group of tough guys to earn credit.

With experience in grassroots leadership positions, it will be easier to seize good opportunities in the future.
