As a policewoman at the Huangwa Street Station in Chengdu, capital city of southeast Sichuan Province, Jiang Zhimin devotes a lot of her spare time to helping the residents in her local community. She genuinely enjoys solving problems for the masses and she regards it as the best thing in the world.

The 10,000 people, making up 2,900 families, with in her area all know that Jiang Zhimin can settle everything for you no matter what difficulty you face.

A 30-year-old lady Xiao Fan used to indulge in drugs after her marriage broke up. Several years of drug taking left her well-off family penniless. Finally, she could not even afford the cost of giving up drugs.

When Jiang got wind of the situation, she went and visited Xiao and encouraged her to face up to her problem. Then she talked with Xiao Fan's family and they all decided to send her to a drug rehabilitation center. Today, Xiao Fan has successfully quit drugs and found herself a new job. Whenever she meets someone, she can't help but say, "It was Aunty Jiang who saved me and my family. I would have died long ago if it wasn't for Jiang."

Unlike other senior citizens who enjoy the comforts of family love, 80-year Grandma Wang still had to worry about her only son, who had been sentenced 10 years in prison for fraud. To makes things worse, he rejected reeducation and was in a very depressed mood at the beginning of his term.

Again, Jiang went to Grandma Wang. She arranged for some local residents to care for Grandma Wang. At the same time, she kept writing letters to Wang's son, telling him of his mother's life and developments in his hometown, encouraging him to serve good time so as to get an early release.

With Jiang's help, Yang rebuilt his confidence for life. He has started doing well in prison and has already had his sentence reduced twice.
