It is not the private property of an individual either.

In the Guantian Village Public Security Prevention and Management Area of Shiyang Town, Bao'an District, Shenzhen City, a shocking scene of deliberate disrespect to the national emblem took place! The national emblem was hanging crookedly on the railing of a second-floor balcony, swaying precariously as if it were about to fall at any moment. Passersby had to be careful! The national emblem is a symbol, a representation of solemnity. But today, the national emblem has lost its former glory, resembling withered flowers or broken willows. When the national emblem is hung directly above the main entrance of government offices at all levels or above the rostrum in conference halls, everyone feels its grandeur and dignity; when people see our athletes adorned with the national emblem pattern on their sports uniforms, standing on the podium acknowledging the audience after bringing honor to our country, they feel how dignified and beautiful it is, deeply realizing the pride and happiness of being Chinese... Yet, the national emblem has lost its original luster, worn out every day under the gaze of countless passersby, precariously hanging there as if receiving a baptism from the public! The image of the national emblem is being eroded so easily!

The Public Security Prevention Team also belongs to an institution under the jurisdiction of the public security organs, a place that safeguards the safety and interests of the people. However, many members of the current Public Security Prevention Teams are temporary recruits, whose ideological and cultural qualities are far from being able to uphold the image of the People's Police. Most of the public security officers and auxiliary police officers are temporary workers recruited from different places. Their public image is消极怠慢(capital operation), these people from all walks of life are just rice bowls for the imperial court. Their ability to handle cases targets the poor.

In the previous years, Shenzhen was crazily checking residence permits, causing the hardworking masses to hide in the mountains and fields in the dead of night. At that time, the Public Security Prevention Team would collect a head tax of two or three hundred yuan per person. Migrant workers with pitifully low wages couldn't bear to hand over their hard-earned money to those blood-sucking bastards! My cousin and I were once caught by the public security officers. It happened during lunch break when we went to the market to buy groceries. The public security team suddenly rushed into the market and started grabbing people. They didn't even ask where you came from, they just grabbed and threw you into the police van and sent you to the police station. At the police station, those who had residence permits were immediately released, while those without were directly asked to pay up! The amount was whatever they said it was. After paying, there wasn't even a fine receipt, they just let you go. At that time, my cousin and I both had a few hundred yuan on us, but we didn't pay, claiming we had no money. They said if we had no money, we could find someone to guarantee for us. We didn't want to involve anyone, so we said we couldn't find anyone to guarantee for us. They didn't believe us and came to search us. Our money was forcibly taken out by them. They said we weren't honest and threatened to lock us up. They even handcuffed us, making us look like murderers. The Public Security Prevention Team was just a den of wolves!

Today, revisiting this place, looking at the national emblem that has lost its luster, I am overwhelmed with emotion! Despite the famous saying "Let wine and meat pass through the intestines, but let Buddha flow in the heart." Regardless of how fierce and dirty the outward appearance of the national emblem may seem, as long as one truly has the concept of the national emblem in their heart, it should be enough. But the national emblem represents all the Chinese people. Don't the Public Security Teams, as servants of the people, have the responsibility to maintain the solemnity and cleanliness of the national emblem? The national emblem is not a toy for children, nor is it private property of any individual. It is the honor and dignity of the country! How can honor and dignity be defiled in such a way...
