Dancheng is the county seat of Xiangshan County, and at first glance it looks like a big plug hidden in the valley, but from its overall layout, it is clearly a town.

The view from the car window at the mountain pass is quite spectacular.

The city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and is connected to a small plain to the south, and there are many houses in the distance between the farmlands, which were later known to be Nanzhuang.

No matter how far away, the view is still blocked by the mountain.

My first impression was: "This place has nothing to do with the sea." ”

At the southern end of the city, at the junction with the small plain, there is a cement road that is almost half the length of the city, as if it was in the process of construction, and it is very wide and very obvious.

The car climbs to the bottom of the slope and is the passenger station.

There were already several veterans and cadres waiting there in the station, holding a note with the list of names they wanted to pick up and docking with Wang Jianrong's squad leader.

Wang Dongjian, Hua Shenggen, Zhong Zhiguo, and Ren Songping and I were brought together by a tall veteran.

He introduced himself: "I am the squad leader of the Qiancang Border Police Station, Wang Guomin. ”

"You're welcome to be assigned to the Money Warehouse."

He asked if we had pulled down our luggage. We all said, "No." ”

He belongs to the kind of thin and tall, with a small face, always 1.8 meters out of zero, slightly taller than Wang Dongjian, the tallest of the 5 of us. He seems to be very warm and kind.

We didn't stay long at the station and took the 3:50 late bus to Qiancang.

In the process of waiting for the car, the loud radio sound came from outside, and the Xiangshan dialect with a long voice was particularly harsh, and it could be understood if you listened carefully, but it was very tiring, and you couldn't do it if you didn't listen, and there was a feeling of novelty and not ugly.

The car followed the newly made concrete road, turned left to the east and walked northeast, through the hilly area.

It was all a gravel road, and the roof tiles of the houses on the side of the road were covered with a thick layer of sand and ash, and the original blue-black color could not be seen at all.

There is no water source along the way, and there is a shallow ditch left on the roadbed near the mountain, but there is no water flowing.

People who come out of the sea are very sensitive to water, and they like to see everywhere they can see, and there is water all the time.

About an hour's drive to Qiancang bus station.

It's a terminal and the other guests on the bus got off the bus, but we didn't.

The driver continued to drive forward for 200 meters, and stopped in front of the gate of a small courtyard surrounded by a brick wall more than two meters high and whitewashed with white plaster.

One of them was an older one standing in front, also quite tall, 1.76 meters in appearance, obviously stronger and more sophisticated than the others.

Wang Guomin introduced to us: "This is Secretary Xu. ”

We understand that this is a cadre.

Director Xu said with a mouthful of Ningbo accent: "Hard work, hard work!" Or stay in debt, or stay in debt! "Ningbo dialect means hurry in.

Before entering the gate, I glanced at two signs hanging on the wall between the gate and the small door on the beveled edge, namely: "Qiancang Frontier Police Station of the Xiangshan County Border Defense Brigade of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force" and "Qiancang Border Police Station of the Xiangshan County Public Security Bureau."

It was dinner time, so I settled my luggage and ate as a team.

A total of 14 people eat.

In the evening, Director Xu presided over a welcome meeting and got to know each other.

There are 15 people in the institute, 2 cadres and 13 soldiers.

Director Wang Anjun, a native of Xiangshan, went to the detachment for a meeting.

Secretary Xu Zhiqiang, a native of Ningbo City.

8 80-year-old spring soldiers, from Haining and Changshan. They are squad leader Wang Guomin, supply worker Qian Fagen, clerk Qiu Shiliang, deputy squad leader Shen Guoxing, health worker Zeng Genyou, cook Zhang Guoxing, soldier Wu Xianggen, and Wang Chuyi.

Except for Hua Shenggen, who is from Fuyang, the others are from Zhoushan.

Director Xu finally concluded: "We have become a family, and we will work together in the future, unite with each other, and help each other." ”

"Starting tomorrow, the new comrades will concentrate on learning business first, and the other comrades will have nothing to do and work in the responsibility area."

On that day, before the New Year's Day of '82, I hadn't even celebrated my 18th birthday, and I became a police officer at the police station.
