When it comes to the stories of the police, the movies or the TV series such as Die Hard, Internal Affairs and the IV Group of Fatal Cases would always strike us, which make the lives of policemen are supposed to be thrilling, dangerous and exciting. However, this documentary exposed the realest things that happened in the police station of Shanghai, one of the most bustling metropolis of the world.
当我们谈到警局的故事，总会想到类似《虎胆龙威》，《无间道》和《重案六组》的电视剧和电影，常常会觉得警察的生活就像影片里一样刺激，危险和令人兴奋。但是，这部纪录片以最真实的角度，讲述了坐落于繁忙大都市上海中警察局中的一点一滴。
Contrasting with our imagination, due to the development of the investigation, which has resulted in the dramatic decline of the vicious events, today, most of the policemen are busy with dealing with the trivia of this city in their common working days, for instance, providing assistance to the old with Alzheimer who get lost, catching the pickpockets hidden in the metro and spreading anti-fraud knowledge to their responsible communities. These are definitely not great things but extremely relevant to our daily lives as citizens.
与我们所想象的不同，由于犯罪侦查技术的发展，近年来所发生的恶性案件数量急剧下降，所以当今警务人员的日常工作就变成了处理看似日常的琐碎小事，比如送迷路的老年痴呆患者回家，抓捕地铁中的扒手，在负责的小区宣传防诈骗知识等等。但是这些看起来微不足道的小事，却与我们的日常生活息息相关。
Though being immersed in the most usual affairs, there are still some events that impressed me a lot. One of them is a story about an officer who had been seeking for a burglar for 22 years. This case occurred at a dark night in 1997, when he was woken up by the scream of his neighbor upstairs. As a policeman, he rushed up at once then caught two of the intruders, also, he was hurt by the knives that hold by them. Unfortunately, his neighbor, a lady at 26, still passed away because of excessive bleeding. Consequently, this case had became one of his unforgettable nightmare, especially there was still one of the criminals hadn’t been arrested. But just as the old saying “Heaven’s vengeance is slow but sure”, the last burglar was finally found in 2019, by the latest domestic investigation system. I almost bursted into tear when I heard the officer asked the criminal: “Do you remember me? You know I’ve been waiting for this moment for 22 years”.
虽然警务工作常常被大量平常的案件淹没，但依然有一些令我印象深刻。一个警官追凶22年的故事令人尤为感动。事情发生在1997年的一个深夜，这名警官被楼上邻居的尖叫所惊醒，他便立刻冲到楼上当场控制住了两名入室抢劫的劫匪，当然在此过程中，他也被歹徒所持的刀具刺伤。但不幸的是，他的邻居，一名26岁的年轻女子，还是因为失血过多而死亡。 因为其中一名嫌疑人迟迟没有抓获，所以这个案子也成为了这名警官心里过不去的一道坎。不过，老话说得好，天网恢恢，疏而不漏，这名醉方最终通过全国警务侦办系统，于2019年被找到。他只问劫匪：“你还认得我吗？ 你知道吗，我等这一刻等了22年。”听到这句话，我瞬间泪奔。
Another representative case, instead of such a breathtaking one, offered a warning to the public. An ordinary white-collar worker was noticed shoplifting for several time by a shopkeeper, which of cause made the owner turn to the police for help. There was no doubt that she was found easily by a police officer through the supervisor scattered upon the streets. Until this point, she didn’t realize that she would face to a short jail sentence because she had commit thieving for many times, even if the food she had stolen wouldn’t cost much.
另一个具有代表性的案例，虽然没有惊醒动魄的情节，却为我们敲响了警钟。一名普通白领在商店多次偷窃商品的行为被老板娘发觉，随后店主选择向警方寻求帮助。显然，民警顺着遍布路边的摄像头，轻而易举地找到了她。但直到这时，行窃者还没有意识到，她多次盗窃的行为面临着判刑，即使她偷的商品并不值钱。
I suppose that the routines of the police in this series illustrate far more than the realest record of their lives, in the meantime, these reflect a large quantity of social problems which couldn’t be resolved by a policeman, such as the juvenile delinquency caused by the original families, our ignorance of the minority groups and the underdevelopment of the online system of our daily affairs.
我认为，《派出所的故事》不仅仅是对于真实警局日常的记录，同时也反映了大量单单由警察处理不了的社会问题，比如有原生家庭问题导致的青少年犯罪，我们对少数群体的忽视以及侦办日常事务互联网系统发展的欠缺。
Obviously, we still have a long way to go in the urban security, but its innovation needs not only the will of the government and the police, but also the cooperation of every resident.
显然，在城市治安这方面，我们还有一条很长的路要走，但是治安管理的革新不仅需要政府和警方的决定，更需要每一个居民的配合。
