Officers put duty first for COVID-19 inspections

Immigration police proud to serve on the front line. Yang Zekun reports.

For some immigration police officers, the toughest part of the COVID-19 epidemic is not the hectic work schedule or the greater risk of becoming infected.

Instead, not being around for important occasions while their children are growing up is the main problem. Despite that, they said they are sure they will never find a job that will make them more proud.

Shi Moran, who has worked for the entry-exit border inspection station at a major airport in Qingdao, Shandong province, for 16 years, said sacrificing family time is challenging, but her dedication to work during the epidemic is one of the most satisfying aspects of the job.
