What a beautiful country, with beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Along the way, yellow is dotted with green, green is dotted with yellow, it is an unknown tree, all the branches are upward, stretching out in all directions, it is beautiful. What's even more beautiful is the sky, clear, clean, and intoxicatingly blue. White clouds of various shapes float there quietly, blocking out part of the sunlight and creating shadows on the hillside.

For a long time in the past, Qu Sheng has been living in the provincial capital city of China, accustomed to industrial pollution, and rarely sees such a blue sky.

I feel that everyone here is a good photographer, and if you press the shutter casually, you will be left with a beautiful painting. Clean sky, clean clouds, like a fairy tale. Those picturesque computer desktops are nothing more than that.

The urban area is also very beautiful, with high-rise buildings, residential areas of different styles, wide and clean streets, it is hard to imagine that this is a "world crime capital" and "rape city" with an average of 50 people dying of murder every day, and the crime rate is among the highest in the world!

"Qu, here, get off. ”

This is the second time he has come to Joburg Chinatown, and the second time he has been a guest at the Fulin Hotel, Han Bo looked up at the car, only to see two police cars parked in front of the hotel and across the street, two policemen were interrogating a suspicious black man, and the other three policemen were vigilantly observing the surroundings.

As soon as he got off the plane, he was about to attend a banquet before the jet lag had come up, Qu Shengzheng didn't know whether to take his luggage out of the car, and several compatriots in suits and leather shoes greeted him and opened the car door to greet him warmly.

"Counselor Han, welcome, welcome. ”

"Officer Qu, welcome to South Africa. ”

"Mr. Wang is so polite, Mr. Liu, Mr. Qian, thank you. Han Bo shook hands one by one and said enthusiastically: "Everyone, although everyone knows it, I still think it is necessary to formally introduce it, this is Comrade Qu Sheng, the police liaison officer who just arrived today......

When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears, not to mention that he was not an ordinary fellow who came today.

Qu Sheng felt the enthusiasm of the overseas Chinese leaders, and the overseas Chinese leaders were also happy and even proud to have him as a "Overseas 110" fellow.

Outside is not a place to talk, the three of them walked into the banquet hall under the warm invitation of the overseas Chinese leaders, and the long-awaited overseas Chinese shook hands and said hello, took a group photo, talked and laughed, so lively, Deputy Consul General Xu who went directly to the Consulate General was invited, and everyone was greeted by Chairman Wang of the Chamber of Commerce and Director Li of the Police-Community Cooperation Center.

In Joburg, what the Chinese talk about the most is, of course, law and order.

The reason why Han Bo and Qu Sheng came to South Africa is also because of the security problems faced by the Chinese in South Africa.

This is different from some domestic meetings or activities, Vice President Xu and Han Bo once again thanked the South African Chinese and overseas Chinese from all walks of life for their welcome and hospitality, and several overseas Chinese leaders once again expressed their welcome, and the big guys naturally talked about public security.

"My niece was about to go to court some time ago to act as an interpreter for a client, and while passing through the courthouse hallway, she was robbed by a black man, who snatched her phone and ran down the hallway. The bailiff heard my niece's cry for help and urgently blocked all exits from the courthouse. There was a robbery in the courthouse, and the judge and bailiff were furious, saying that they must catch the daring bastard. As a result, I searched for a long time, but in the end, I still couldn't catch the bastard. ”

There was a robbery in the courthouse, and it sounded like a joke.

Qu Sheng looked incredulous, and Han Bo explained sideways: "The law and order situation in the South African courts has always been worrying, and the people waiting for trial have complained that while waiting for court in the waiting hall, there have been repeated robberies by other people waiting for trial, and the heavily armed bailiffs are also accustomed to this crime and turn a blind eye. But the fact that gangsters robbed the private belongings of staff members in the courthouse corridor shows that law and order has deteriorated to an unbelievable level. ”

"And the morning before yesterday. ”

An overseas Chinese leader took over the conversation and said through gritted teeth in Mandarin with a Fujian accent: "The day before yesterday morning, another crime against the Chinese broke out, and several policemen on active duty colluded with gangsters to loot a Taiwanese businessman's tourist bus at gunpoint on the highway. It's police and bandit collusion again, Counselor Han, anyway, I can't trust the South African police anymore!"

"Mr. Chan, it is undeniable that there are some black sheep in the South African police, but there are also police officers who are committed to their duties. Although I may not know as many South African police officers as I have recently taken office, I have read statistics that in the past year, more than 200 police officers have been killed in the line of duty in South Africa, and many more have been injured in law enforcement. ”

Han Bo looked around at everyone and said seductively: "Therefore, if you encounter an emergency in the future, you should call the police as soon as possible." If you encounter some lawless police officers soliciting bribes or even extortion, do not let them succeed, do not allow Chinese people to pay bribes, and do not encourage their bad atmosphere of extortion. ”

At the mention of this, everyone stopped talking, not knowing how to speak.

Some unscrupulous police always extort and extort Chinese, which can be said to be the habit of the Chinese themselves.

For example, some Chinese with legal identity, although they have all the documents, are still afraid of the police and trouble, and will put a few hundred rands in the documents, and as soon as they are stopped by the police, they will hand them over, and take the initiative to bribe without waiting for the other party to ask for bribes; some people without legal identity are even more afraid of the police, and they can spend a little money to buy a safe "why not"?

In addition, the Chinese are accustomed to using cash in transactions and are not accustomed to depositing it in banks, which provides an opportunity for criminals to take advantage of. For the gangsters, robbing the Chinese will be rewarded.

This meal cannot be eaten in vain, and today cannot be eaten in vain.

Han Bo paused, and then said: "Everyone, the financial industry here is not as backward as in China, and the reason why you don't want to deposit your money in the bank is to avoid the bank charging fees. It's not easy for you to cross the ocean and make a career in a foreign country, and you really can't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons.

A few days ago, I went to Capte to visit, and a female compatriot told me that her husband felt that it was not cost-effective to deposit money in the bank, and to pay handling fees and counting fees, so he kept all the money at home, but not long ago, the two of them were robbed at home, and the gangsters snatched away more than 100,000 cash from the family at once, and suffered heavy losses!"

"Counselor Han, you can rest assured of this, I believe that the bosses here are now avoiding cash transactions as much as possible. ”

"Yes, it's too dangerous to use cash, you can't do it to save that money, you really can't do it. ”

"That's how it should be, be cautious in everything, especially in a foreign country where the public security situation is severe, you can't be without a sense of prevention. However, you do, and there are many compatriots who do not, they may be busy with business, or for other reasons, they do not participate in the Chamber of Commerce, the Association of Fellow Villagers, or the Promotion Association, nor do they usually read Chinese newspapers, or even pay attention to some information released by our embassies and consulates.

Here, on behalf of the Police Liaison Group of the Chinese Embassy in South Africa, I sincerely implore all overseas Chinese leaders, patriotic Chinese and overseas Chinese, and successful people in their careers to help remind us when we meet them again, and at the same time help us warn those Chinese lawbreakers and even members of Chinese criminal gangs not to disturb social order and not to persecute compatriots. Don't do the bad things that those relatives and enemies are quick about!"

The work of protecting overseas Chinese is difficult to do, and it is mainly difficult to do in the scattered sand of the Chinese society.

Don't look at the fact that the Chinese in South Africa mainly live in Johannesburg, but there are very few overseas Chinese associations such as chambers of commerce, hometown associations, and promotion associations, not to mention those who are smuggled over or stay illegally.

Due to the inevitable problems in economic development, the relationship between cadres and the masses in the country is tense.

Some Chinese people have taken their domestic thinking to foreign countries, and even looked down on the overseas Chinese leaders who were relatively close to the embassies and consulates in front of them, thinking that they were "sycophants" from the government, and that they had already gone abroad and that there was no need to look at the faces of the officials.

Han Bo looked back at Vice President Xu, and his face returned to a warm smile again: "Here, I want to tell you a good news, the motherland not only does not ignore everyone's situation, but is trying to improve the security situation of our South African Chinese, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Public Security and the embassy and consulates in South Africa are all working hard, causing the relevant departments of the South African government to attach great importance to it, and have achieved certain results."

For example, the South African police will organize special personnel to crack the murder cases that have occurred in the Chinese community in recent years, and the police will deploy police forces in areas with a high incidence of cases, such as around Chinese shopping malls, to strengthen prevention, and set up an anti-corruption and bribery hotline to rectify corrupt police officers suspected of extortion.

Vice President Xu may have told you that the Consulate General will continue to work to strive for the Joburg Municipal Police Department to set up a police office in Chinatown to prevent police officers from illegally 'enforcing the law' across districts, and the Gauteng Provincial Police Department will also hold regular or irregular discussions with the Chinese community to strengthen cooperation between the two sides. ”

Recently, the public security situation in the Chinatown of Joburg Ciro Town is at risk of deterioration, all kinds of disputes, fights and brawls continue, and some shops report that because there are many shops on both sides of the street, and the parking spaces on the street are obviously insufficient, so there are often fights for parking spaces, not only Chinese, but also locals are involved in disputes: some just quarrel and scold, some fight, each time attracting many local onlookers.

The incident of gangsters shooting and killing people in public in Chinatown has attracted reporters from local television, radio and newspaper offices, and after the news is broadcast, it will inevitably trigger people's associations that Chinatown is very bad, and then endanger the positive image of the entire Chinese community.

Deputy Consul General Xu nodded and added, "When it comes to public security, I would like to remind you to reduce the exposure of information. In day-to-day operations, pay special attention to the confidentiality of information, pay attention to local employees, security guards and familiar customers, do not count large amounts of cash in front of them, and do not reveal the location of hidden money.

At the same time, you should also respect and care for local employees, treat them as family members, and provide them with help often, so that they are grateful and do not want to knowingly disclose your information to outsiders. ”

I had only heard that South Africa was not safe and secure, but until this moment, Qu Sheng had an intuitive impression of South Africa, especially Johannesburg. I secretly think that compared with South Africa, the country is really safe, not self-exaggeration.

When I first arrived, I had no right to speak, so I could only listen to Han Bo and Vice President Xu talking.

Comrade Liu Xincun carefully studied the cases that occurred in the past few years and found that most of the robberies occurred at night, accounting for about 71 percent of the total number of cases. In view of this criminal pattern, it is recommended that everyone reduce night outings. ”

Pointing to a Chinese man in his thirties across the table, Han Bo continued, "Finally, the Police-Community Cooperation Centre can provide security support for everyone. It doesn't matter if you don't know English, the cooperation center can help you call the police, you can recommend a lawyer, you can negotiate with the police station......"
