On February 8, on the eve of the Spring Festival, He Qiao, the "most beautiful grass-roots policeman in China" and "the most beautiful police model in Chongqing" and the community policeman in Shapingba District of Chongqing, opened the door of the police office early in the morning. Today, a group of special guests will be welcomed here.
At 8 o’clock in the morning, everyone arrived one after another. Some of them were old people who were old and rare, and some were young migrant workers who responded to the call of "celebrating the New Year on the spot". Most of them are deaf residents in the community. At the invitation of He Qiao, they will celebrate a special Spring Festival in advance in the police office today.

He Qiao told reporters that considering that many deaf residents’ families in the area could not return home for the New Year in other places, she specially invited everyone to the police office to make dumplings and chat at home to welcome the arrival of the Year of the Ox.
After the residents arrived, the police room, which was originally deserted, was immediately crowded and began to be lively. Everyone sat around the big table in the police room, greeted each other with sign language and paid New Year greetings, and then began to prepare for the next activity: making dumplings.
The glutinous rice balls and fillings brought by everyone from home have been put on the table. Just do it. After everyone washes their hands, they mix the dough, adjust the stuffing, and boil the water. They are busy in an orderly manner. Busy at the same time, they also communicate with each other from time to time with their hands covered with flour, which is better than comparing the dumplings wrapped by who. Several experienced old people teach young people who are not good at it how to make beautiful dumplings. Rub your hands gently for a few laps, and a round glutinous rice ball will be born from their hands.
Many hands make light work. In a short time, several pots on the table were filled with wrapped dumplings. Just then, the water was boiled, and everyone put the wrapped dumplings into the pot in batches. After a while, the dumplings slowly floated to the surface from the bottom of the pot, and then "rolled" one by one, which was a signal that the dumplings were cooked. Hot dumplings are put into bowls, and everyone around the table enjoys this special "reunion dinner".
He Qiao brought the first bowl out of the pot to the oldest mother-in-law, Zhu, and fed her one. He Qiao said: "We are like a big family. We get together in the New Year. Of course, the oldest elder has to move chopsticks first."

It is the last few days before the Spring Festival. He Qiao has visited the deaf families in the community from door to door in the past few days, asking how the New Year’s goods are prepared and whether there is any need for help. He also sent them Spring Festival couplets and blessings.
He Qiao said that in 2020, there was an epidemic and a flood, and it was hard to celebrate the New Year. Many people responded to the call to celebrate the New Year on the spot, so this year must be grand and festive, and welcome the new year with the most joyful mood.
The boiled water with glutinous rice balls is still boiling hot, and the Spring Festival couplets at the entrance of the police office are red and festive. The "silent police office" is silent, but it is full of joy and peace, and a happy smile is on everyone’s face.
