塞罕坝精神的践行者

臧新茂　熊冬冬

塞罕壩机械林场是在荒原上营建起来的大型人工林场，位于河北省最北部，地处内蒙古高原浑善达克沙地南缘，是滦河、辽河两大水系的发源地之一，是绿化河北、护卫京津的重要生态保护屏障，在国家生态建设体系中具有特殊的战略地位。2014年4月28日，中宣部授予塞罕坝林场“时代楷模”荣誉称号，2017年12月5日，联合国环境署授予塞罕坝林场“地球卫士奖”荣誉称号。

2021年8月，习近平总书记在塞罕坝机械林场考察时强调，塞罕坝精神是中国共产党精神谱系的组成部分。全党全国人民要发扬这种精神，把绿色经济和生态文明发展好。要传承好塞罕坝精神，深刻理解和落实生态文明理念，再接再厉、二次创业，在实现第二个百年奋斗目标新征程上再建功立业。

塞罕坝森林警察既是林场的建设者，又是林场的守护者，也是塞罕坝精神的缔造者。1962年塞罕坝机械林场上马建设，1964年围场县公安局塞罕坝机械林场派出所成立，1982年塞罕坝机械林场公安分局成立，2020年10月之后，塞罕坝森林警察支队划归河北省公安厅统一领导管理。支队承担着维护塞罕坝辖区内的社会治安秩序、保护国家森林资源等工作。林场地域广、战线长，积雪期长达7个月，最低气温达零下43.3℃。虽然条件艰苦，但几代公安民警牢记初心使命，听从党的召唤，植绿护绿，战天斗地，在塞外荒原上艰苦奋斗、甘于奉献，用青春、血汗乃至生命捍卫了林区生态安全和社会和谐稳定，赓续着牢记使命的传统，履行着保护生态文明建设成就的神圣使命，在塞罕坝的发展历程中发挥着重要且不可替代的作用。

治安队队长王景祥是一名59岁的老同志，在国内防疫形势严峻的时候，他选择坚守在零下40℃的省界检查站，带领民警连续多日加班加点、昼夜奋战，圆满完成了党和人民交给的光荣任务，以实际行动诠释了人民警察的初心和使命。2021年8月，王景祥荣立个人二等功。

千层板派出所女所长勾万春，1999年从南京森林警察学院毕业，因为父亲是塞罕坝林场职工，她放弃了留在城市的机会，来到塞罕坝一干就是20多年。派出所辖区面积28.6万亩，通往内蒙古的三条省级公路从辖区穿过，是违法犯罪分子盗挖、无证运输树苗的重要通道。勾万春白天参加森林防火工作，晚上去路口蹲守。2012年，怀孕的勾万春在坝上连续工作了两个月，她拖着沉重的身子，忙上忙下没耽误值班执勤。2014年5月，勾万春接到家里的电话，说她的女儿不慎被摔成重伤。三个小时后，等她赶到医院，孩子已经离开了人世！在最痛苦的境遇里，她选择继续坚守工作岗位。她说：“我始终觉得女儿就在身边，她在我工作中孕育，又在我工作里成长。现在，她虽然不在了，我要用更出色的工作纪念她。”2014年，勾万春荣立个人三等功。

来自福建漳州的年轻民警林伟光，2017年在南京森林警察学院毕业后来到这里工作。冬季这里漫山遍野都被大雪覆盖，生活和环境的不适让他产生了思想波动。老民警带着林伟光来到塞罕坝展览馆和林场第一任党委书记王尚海的纪念碑前，给他讲那一代人几十年如一日、把不毛之地变成了浩瀚林海的故事。老一辈的奉献精神使林伟光的思想受到了强烈冲击，他决心要做一个真正的“塞罕坝人”。如今的他，不仅把母亲和妻子从遥远的南方接来安了家，自己也全身心投入到工作中，并成长为支队的业务骨干。

从一棵树到一片“海”，从茫茫荒原上的两间土房到窗明几净的办公楼，从几个人的派出所到一支现代化的森警队伍，从最初的骑马巡逻到摩托车、汽车等现代交通工具投入使用……冬去春来几十载，塞罕坝上的树长了几茬，塞罕坝森林警察也换了几茬，始终不变的是他们艰苦奋斗、甘于奉献的精神。

2016年以来，塞罕坝支队共查处各类涉林案件千余起，并与内蒙古、围场县等周边兄弟单位建立警务协作机制，构建了紧密的区域警务联防联治平台，累计指派民警20余人次与围场县公安局木兰警务室开展夏季联合执法行动，共处理各类警情970起，通过密切的警务协作，有效打击了违法犯罪行为，维护了林区社会治安秩序。

支队坚持以人民为中心，着力提高群众的获得感、满意度。近年来，共组织开展各类志愿服务活动60次，解决群众难题20件，救助受困游客20余次，解救迷山走失老人2人，为群众提供法律援助15次。支队先后被公安部、中华全国总工会评为“全国公安机关成绩突出集体”；2次荣获“全国优秀森林公安局”称号，3次荣立集体二等功，5次荣立集体三等功；1人荣获全国优秀人民警察称号，5人荣立个人二等功，16人27次荣立个人三等功。

“塞罕坝森警是河北公安森警的一个缩影，我们坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，深入学习贯彻习近平总书记关于对河北工作、公安工作、生态建设的一系列重要讲话指示精神，以大力弘扬塞罕坝精神推进森警‘二次创业为动力，认真履职尽责，积极主动作为，严厉打击破坏森林及野生动植物资源违法犯罪，全力服务保障首都‘两区建设，为加快建设经济强省美丽河北贡献森警力量。”河北省公安厅森林公安局党委书记、局长赵锋坚定地表示，下一步，要接力传承好“牢记使命、艰苦创业、绿色发展”的塞罕坝精神，在保护生态资源促进绿色发展新征程上二次创业、再建新功，让祖国天更蓝、山更绿、水更清，环境更美好。

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.
