The most beautiful traffic policewoman Mao Li becomes popular, the little princess who maintains peace

Since the media reported in April that traffic policewoman Mao Li issued 138 tickets to leaders' public vehicles in half a year, Mao Li has become a star. Almost everyone in Hunyuan County knows her. Some people even deliberately violate the law to test whether Mao Li is as strict as rumored. Netizens admire Mao Li and assume that if Mao Li were the Minister of Transport or Director of the Traffic Management Bureau, there would be no traffic jams nationwide. Some netizens hope that Mao Li can go to their hometown to direct traffic. The most beautiful female traffic police officer, Mao Li.

Mao Li's popularity goes beyond this. Now, when leaders' cars are parked disorderly, as soon as they see Mao Li coming, they all run away instead of arrogantly saying who they are like before. Drivers who used to argue after being fined now say thank you when they leave after receiving a ticket.

"When I see injustice, I have to take care of it. If I don't, I feel like I have no face to be there," said Mao Li, who was born in a military family and naturally has a sense of justice. She said that standing under the sun, every move she makes can be seen by everyone. "I want to uphold the fairness and justice of the law, let the common people believe in the enforcers, and believe in the law."

"If I copied the 'official protection talisman', I would lose fairness and justice."

A few months after Mao Li started working, a leader from the traffic police team called her and asked her to go back to the team and copy the "official protection talisman". "Look at you, you dare to fine any car now."

"I just won't do it. If I do it, I will lose fairness and justice." Not only did Mao Li not copy it herself, but she also didn't let her teammates copy it. Too many people said she was too foolish, and doing this would definitely lead to retaliation and beatings. For a period of time, she hesitated and wondered if she was really too foolish and too straightforward. She went to ask a colleague with a sense of justice in the traffic police team, "He said he thought I was right, so I became firm and believed I was doing the right thing."

In fact, Mao Li has paid a heavy price for her "foolishness."

Once, a luxury car ignored the red light, forcibly rushed through, and the license plate was covered with camouflage cloth. Mao Li quickly ran up and stopped it. When she bent down to tear off the camouflage cloth, the male driver got out of the car, cursed loudly, and hit her. Fortunately, there were many onlookers, and two provincial TV reporters were interviewing with cameras, so he didn't hit her again.

The man Mao Li stopped was someone in Hunyuan County that "no one dared to offend, no one dared to fine." When she returned to the team to issue the ticket, all her colleagues stayed away from her, saying she had caused trouble and would be retaliated against, and the leader who supported her the most was also not there. That afternoon, she stood on the platform, tears streaming down her face, and still tried her best to do every command action well, "Maybe some drivers and ordinary people saw me crying."

Mao Li's parents were also afraid, found the leader of the traffic police team, and asked to change Mao Li's position. But she refused, "I sincerely like this job, and I believe righteousness will prevail over evil."

The Dongmen Crossroads where Mao Li works is the main road leading to the Beiyue Hengshan Scenic Area and also the busiest section in Hunyuan County. On one side is the Hengshan International Hotel, and on the other side is the Construction Bank. Every morning, the road in front of the hotel is full of cars, belonging to officials and rich merchants. As Mao Li put it, "anyone who comes out, with money and power, can crush you." But she doesn't care, fines those who should be fined, and sticks notices on those who should be stuck.

"Ordinary people in rural areas may not know to stop at red lights and go at green lights, but civil servants in government agencies cannot possibly not know. They just have a sense of privilege, thinking no one dares to stop them," Mao Li said that as long as there is a violation, she will fine them, and she wants people to know "what fairness and justice is, what the law is."

After becoming famous, Mao Li's life became much easier. The province called on traffic police officers to learn from her, and the county leaders gave her awards. And the car of this leader was also fined by Mao Li.

"My world is very simple, just to uphold the dignity of the law."

Mao Li's aunt went to her house and complained that now that she was a traffic police officer, her standards were high, and she didn't even acknowledge her aunt driving by.

Mao Li replied that when she was on duty, her eyes only saw violations, nothing else.

The next day, her aunt deliberately violated the rules while driving, and sure enough, Mao Li quickly ran up and fined her aunt.

"They see bread, Xiaoli cars, their eyes shine brightly, those are simply must-fine cars. Seeing powerful people, they lower their voices, seeing common people, they frown coldly. Oh! How can you still stand there." In Mao Li's concept, there are no good or bad cars, only violation cars and non-violation cars.

Mao Li says so, and does so.

Once, a Land Rover deliberately ran a red light, Mao Li rushed up and stopped it, discovering that the car had a fake license plate. Unexpectedly, the female driver cursed while hitting Mao Li's stomach, "Even daring to fine me, my brother is in the traffic police team, several relatives are also in the traffic police team..." Mao Li looked at her intimidating manner, and was truly a bit scared at the time, so she called 110 for help, but the ticket was issued without hesitation: a fine of 2600 yuan, deduction of 16 points.

Afterwards, people pleading for leniency and applying pressure kept coming, and that woman even found a vice-county magistrate to plead for her. Fortunately, Mao Li had a very supportive team leader Song, so that woman could only pay and accept the punishment. Later at a meeting in the unit, that woman's relatives all looked strangely, and some even directly warned Mao Li, "You need to be careful later."

For law enforcement, Mao Li has been injured more than once, her face has been scratched, her body has been bruised, but as long as she can walk, as long as it's not an injury requiring hospitalization, she will insist on going to work on time.

"Why would such a pretty girl be so hard on yourself?"

"Because the industry you work in is different, as a police officer, you absolutely cannot be weak!" Mao Li laughed. She loves to laugh, even when telling how she stops Land Rovers, how she gets beaten, and how she fines official cars, she laughs because she successfully caught them in the end.

"I want the common people to trust the police."

"Why did you just do your job, yet received so much praise? Why can't so many traffic police do it?"

Whenever journalists ask similar questions, Mao Li sighs, just talking about how she achieves it, how she persists. "Actually, things are very simple, speak and act accordingly, persisting in small things until the end is a kind of success."

From the first day she stood guard, whenever Mao Li saw elderly people crossing the street, she would go to help them. "Do you know, they would laugh at me. Not only do they not do it themselves, but they also laugh at me." Initially, the eight male team members Mao Li led sneered at helping elderly people cross the street, and even mocked Mao Li. But Mao Li persisted every day, and later, the team members could put aside their pride, stop laughing at her, and actively help elderly people cross the street.

"Honoring the old and loving the young is not just a slogan, otherwise you shouldn't say it, or if you say it, you should do it. Every action of yours, your kindness, your evil, the common people can see in their hearts." Mao Li said that traffic police are there to serve the common people, and when encountering situations, they should think for them. Seeing people running red lights, she would certainly bring them far away, repeatedly explaining "you rush that half minute, it's very dangerous..." "Red light stop, green light go, school teachers have already taught it..." "When outsiders come to Hunyuan County and see us obeying the order, it's also glorious..." Each time, Mao Li would talk until the person running the red light had nothing to say, then let them go, reminding them to tell their friends and family not to run red lights when they go home.

People in Hunyuan County often see Mao Li crazily chasing after bicycles and electric scooters. "Sometimes I think it's funny, why be so crazy?" But Mao Li couldn't help herself, correcting these bicycles and electric scooters running red lights again and again. "Colleagues say, even if you catch them, you can't fine them, why chase them? Common people ask me, how much does the traffic police department give you, for you to be so dedicated. I really haven't thought about the money, just feeling happy when violations are corrected."

Mao Li said, the happiest thing for her is catching violators, and then talking until they admit their mistakes and correct them, feeling especially accomplished. "My world is very simple, just upholding the fairness and justice of the law, just living up to this conscience. If I really had so many thoughts, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble."

"Nowadays, the common people hate the police, why?" "It's not easy to make laws, if the enforcers don't enforce them well, we really don't deserve the common people." Sometimes Mao Li also laughs at herself for thinking too much, thinking too big, as a small traffic police officer, living her days without worrying about food or clothing. But once back on the job, she puts these thoughts aside and becomes "Traffic Police Officer Mao Li" again.
