Dedicated cop killed apprehending suspect

Wu Lin was a police officer working in Shanxi province before being killed in the line of duty in April last year at the age of 27.

In 2021, Wu was dispatched to the police station in a township in Xinzhou, Shanxi province. He made his mobile phone number public, and kept the phone on around the clock so that people could reach him promptly in times of need.

Local people called Wu to help them deal with various emergencies and even mediate spats, which happened almost daily during his three years at the police station.
