塞罕壩精神的踐行者

臧新茂　熊冬冬

塞罕壩機械林場是在荒原上營建起來的大型人工林場，位于河北省最北部，地處內蒙古高原渾善達克沙地南緣，是灤河、遼河兩大水系的發源地之一，是綠化河北、護衛京津的重要生態保護屏障，在國家生態建設體系中具有特殊的戰略地位。2014年4月28日，中宣部授予塞罕壩林場“時代楷模”榮譽稱號，2017年12月5日，聯合國環境署授予塞罕壩林場“地球衛士獎”榮譽稱號。

2021年8月，習近平總書記在塞罕壩機械林場考察時強調，塞罕壩精神是中國共產黨精神譜系的組成部分。全黨全國人民要發揚這種精神，把綠色經濟和生態文明發展好。要傳承好塞罕壩精神，深刻理解和落實生態文明理念，再接再厲、二次創業，在實現第二個百年奮斗目標新征程上再建功立業。

塞罕壩森林警察既是林場的建設者，又是林場的守護者，也是塞罕壩精神的締造者。1962年塞罕壩機械林場上馬建設，1964年圍場縣公安局塞罕壩機械林場派出所成立，1982年塞罕壩機械林場公安分局成立，2020年10月之后，塞罕壩森林警察支隊劃歸河北省公安廳統一領導管理。支隊承擔著維護塞罕壩轄區內的社會治安秩序、保護國家森林資源等工作。林場地域廣、戰線長，積雪期長達7個月，最低氣溫達零下43.3℃。雖然條件艱苦，但幾代公安民警牢記初心使命，聽從黨的召喚，植綠護綠，戰天斗地，在塞外荒原上艱苦奮斗、甘于奉獻，用青春、血汗乃至生命捍衛了林區生態安全和社會和諧穩定，賡續著牢記使命的傳統，履行著保護生態文明建設成就的神圣使命，在塞罕壩的發展歷程中發揮著重要且不可替代的作用。

治安隊隊長王景祥是一名59歲的老同志，在國內防疫形勢嚴峻的時候，他選擇堅守在零下40℃的省界檢查站，帶領民警連續多日加班加點、晝夜奮戰，圓滿完成了黨和人民交給的光榮任務，以實際行動詮釋了人民警察的初心和使命。2021年8月，王景祥榮立個人二等功。

千層板派出所女所長勾萬春，1999年從南京森林警察學院畢業，因為父親是塞罕壩林場職工，她放棄了留在城市的機會，來到塞罕壩一干就是20多年。派出所轄區面積28.6萬畝，通往內蒙古的三條省級公路從轄區穿過，是違法犯罪分子盜挖、無證運輸樹苗的重要通道。勾萬春白天參加森林防火工作，晚上去路口蹲守。2012年，懷孕的勾萬春在壩上連續工作了兩個月，她拖著沉重的身子，忙上忙下沒耽誤值班執勤。2014年5月，勾萬春接到家里的電話，說她的女兒不慎被摔成重傷。三個小時后，等她趕到醫院，孩子已經離開了人世！在最痛苦的境遇里，她選擇繼續堅守工作崗位。她說：“我始終覺得女兒就在身邊，她在我工作中孕育，又在我工作里成長。現在，她雖然不在了，我要用更出色的工作紀念她。”2014年，勾萬春榮立個人三等功。

來自福建漳州的年輕民警林偉光，2017年在南京森林警察學院畢業后來到這里工作。冬季這里漫山遍野都被大雪覆蓋，生活和環境的不適讓他產生了思想波動。老民警帶著林偉光來到塞罕壩展覽館和林場第一任黨委書記王尚海的紀念碑前，給他講那一代人幾十年如一日、把不毛之地變成了浩瀚林海的故事。老一輩的奉獻精神使林偉光的思想受到了強烈沖擊，他決心要做一個真正的“塞罕壩人”。如今的他，不僅把母親和妻子從遙遠的南方接來安了家，自己也全身心投入到工作中，并成長為支隊的業務骨干。

從一棵樹到一片“海”，從茫茫荒原上的兩間土房到窗明幾凈的辦公樓，從幾個人的派出所到一支現代化的森警隊伍，從最初的騎馬巡邏到摩托車、汽車等現代交通工具投入使用……冬去春來幾十載，塞罕壩上的樹長了幾茬，塞罕壩森林警察也換了幾茬，始終不變的是他們艱苦奮斗、甘于奉獻的精神。

2016年以來，塞罕壩支隊共查處各類涉林案件千余起，并與內蒙古、圍場縣等周邊兄弟單位建立警務協作機制，構建了緊密的區域警務聯防聯治平臺，累計指派民警20余人次與圍場縣公安局木蘭警務室開展夏季聯合執法行動，共處理各類警情970起，通過密切的警務協作，有效打擊了違法犯罪行為，維護了林區社會治安秩序。

支隊堅持以人民為中心，著力提高群眾的獲得感、滿意度。近年來，共組織開展各類志愿服務活動60次，解決群眾難題20件，救助受困游客20余次，解救迷山走失老人2人，為群眾提供法律援助15次。支隊先后被公安部、中華全國總工會評為“全國公安機關成績突出集體”；2次榮獲“全國優秀森林公安局”稱號，3次榮立集體二等功，5次榮立集體三等功；1人榮獲全國優秀人民警察稱號，5人榮立個人二等功，16人27次榮立個人三等功。

“塞罕壩森警是河北公安森警的一個縮影，我們堅持以習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想為指導，深入學習貫徹習近平總書記關于對河北工作、公安工作、生態建設的一系列重要講話指示精神，以大力弘揚塞罕壩精神推進森警‘二次創業為動力，認真履職盡責，積極主動作為，嚴厲打擊破壞森林及野生動植物資源違法犯罪，全力服務保障首都‘兩區建設，為加快建設經濟強省美麗河北貢獻森警力量。”河北省公安廳森林公安局黨委書記、局長趙鋒堅定地表示，下一步，要接力傳承好“牢記使命、艱苦創業、綠色發展”的塞罕壩精神，在保護生態資源促進綠色發展新征程上二次創業、再建新功，讓祖國天更藍、山更綠、水更清，環境更美好。

Putting the Saihanba Spirit into Practice

By Zang Xinmao and Xiong Dongdong

The Saihanba Mechanized Forest Farm， located in the northernmost part of Hebei Province， is a vast man-made forest on once barren land along the southern edge of Inner Mongolia's Hunshandake Sand Lands. As a source of the Luan and Liao rivers， and a vital protective barrier for the environment of Beijing， Tianjin， and Hebei Province， Saihanba plays a strategic role in China's ecological development. On April 28， 2014， the forest farm was honored with the title of "Role Model of the Era" by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China （CPC） and on December 5， 2017， it won the UN "Champions of the Earth Award".

In August 2021， Xi Jinping， General Secretary of the Communist Party of China， visited the farm and stressed that the Saihanba Spirit — a term attributed to generations of workers on the farm who have kept their mission in mind， worked diligently and pursued green development — is part of a long list of inspiring principles for the CPC. The entire Party and nation should have the same spirit in their efforts to develop the green economy and further ecological progress. Workers at the Saihanba forest farm should gain a deeper understanding of ecological conservation and make new contributions to the realization of China's second centenary goal.

The forest police in Saihanba not only serve as builders and guardians of the forest farm but also play a crucial role in shaping the Saihanba Spirit. Construction of the farm began in 1962， with the Saihanba Forest Farm Police Station established two years later under the Public Security Bureau of Weichang County and later upgraded into the Saihanba Forest Farm Public Security Sub-Bureau in 1982. In October 2020， the Saihanba Forest Police Detachment， responsible for maintaining social order， ensuring security， and safeguarding the national forest resources in Saihanba， was placed under the leadership of the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department. Despite the expansive nature of the farm and challenging conditions on it—winters can last seven months with temperatures dropping as low as minus 43.3 degrees Celsius—generations of police officers at Saihanba have remained committed to their mission by responding to the call of the Party， tirelessly planting and safeguarding trees in the face of adversity， and selflessly contributing to the once barren land. Their dedication has ensured the ecological security and social harmony of the forest area. In the future， they will carry on the legacy of steadfast commitment to their mission and continue to fulfill the sacred duty of protecting ecological progress. Without their efforts， Saihanba as we know it today would not exist.

Wang Jingxiang， the head of the public security squad on the farm， is a 59-year-old veteran officer， who showed his commitment to the original aspiration of the people's police at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in China. Together with his colleagues， he worked round the clock for several days at the provincial border checkpoint amid temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius. In recognition of his exceptional dedication， Wang was awarded an Individual Merit Citation Class II in August 2021.

Gou Wanchun， the female director of Qiancengban Police Station， has devoted more than 20 years of her life to serving at Saihanba. Though she could have chosen to live in the city after graduating from Nanjing Forest Police College in 1999， she decided to work at the Saihanba Forest Farm where her father had also served. In her expansive jurisdiction， spanning over 286，000 mu （approximately 190 square kilometers）， there are three provincial highways connecting to Inner Mongolia which are frequently used by criminals in illegal logging and unauthorized transportation. In the day， Gou takes on forest fire prevention work; at night she keeps watch at road junctions. In 2012， despite being heavily pregnant， she diligently worked in the forest area for two consecutive months， fulfilling her duties without fail. In May 2014， she received a phone call from her family， saying that her daughter had been injured in a fall. Gou rushed the three-hours trip from the forest area to the hospital， only to find her beloved daughter had already passed away. In the throes of her grief， she remained resilient and dedicated to her work. "My daughter had always kept me company during my duties. Now that she is gone， I shall deliver an even better work performance in her honor，" she said. In 2014， Gou was awarded the Individual Merit Citation Class Ⅲ.

Lin Weiguang is another officer at Saihanba. Originally from Zhangzhou， Fujian Province， he has worked at Saihanba since graduating from Nanjing Forest Police College in 2017. Initially， he felt overwhelmed by the demanding lifestyle and hostile environment. However， after visiting the Saihanba exhibition hall and paying tribute to Wang Shanghai， the first Party Secretary of the forest farm， at his memorial monument， Lin was deeply moved by stories shared by his senior officers about how the older generation had dedicated themselves for decades to transforming barren land into a vast forest. Inspired by their commitment， Lin made up his mind to follow in their footsteps and become a practitioner of the Saihanba spirit. He has since settled down in the area， bringing his mother and wife to live with him here. Through hard work， he has grown into an invaluable asset for the detachment.

Saihanba has witnessed numerous transformations： from a single tree to a sprawling forest， from two modest huts in the wilderness to well-maintained and illuminated office buildings， from a police station with only a handful of officers to a modernized forest police force， from horseback patrols to the utilization of motorcycles and cars. Over the past decades， crops of trees have been planted on the farm and generations of officers have fulfilled their services. What has remained unchanged is the tradition of hard work and selfless dedication among the officers.

Since 2016， the Saihanba Forest Police Detachment has handled over a thousand cases related to forestry offenses. By establishing coordination mechanisms and joint prevention and control platforms with neighboring units in Weichang County and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region， the detachment has deployed over 20 officers to participate in summer joint law enforcement operations. Working closely with Mulan Police Office of the Weichang County Public Security Bureau， they have successfully resolved 970 cases. Through their collective efforts， the detachment has made significant strides in combating illegal activities and maintaining social order within the forest area.

In its commitment to prioritizing the interests of the people， the detachment has organized 60 voluntary service activities， resolved 20 local disputes， assisted more than 20 stranded tourists， rescued two senior citizens who were lost in the mountains， and provided legal aid on 15 occasions to the public. These outstanding contributions have garnered numerous honors and titles， including Model Team of the National Public Security System， awarded by both the Ministry of Public Security and the All-China Federation of Trade Unions; Outstanding Forest Public Security Bureau （2 times）; Collective Merit Citations Class II （3 times）; and Collective Merit Citations Class III （5 times）. Additionally， its officers have also received many honors， such as Role Model of the People's Police in China （1 officer）， Individual Merit Citation Class II （5 officers）， and Individual Merit Citation Class III （16 officers， totaling 27 times）.

"The Saihanba Forest Police represents the epitome of all forest police in Hebei Province. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the principles outlined in his speeches regarding the development of Hebei， progress in public security， and advancement in ecological conservation， we will step up our efforts to promote the Saihanba Spirit and 'make new contributions' to combating crimes that harm forests and wildlife resources. Our goal is to facilitate the development of the capital city Beijing while simultaneously building a more prosperous and beautiful Hebei，" stated Zhao Feng， Party Secretary and Director General of the Forest Public Security Bureau of the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department. He further emphasized their commitment to embracing the Saihanba Spirit， characterized by "staying true to our original aspirations， being hardworking and enterprising， and pursuing green development，" and pledged to embark on a new journey to conserve ecological resources， promote green development and create a picturesque landscape for China.
