Distinguished policewoman, Ren Changxia shakes hands with local residents  in Dongfeng District of Zhengzhou, Capital of Henan Province

Ren Changxia was born in  Zhengzhou, Henan Province  on February 8, 1964. After  graduating from police training school in 1983, she began  to work as a preliminary investigator at the Zhengzhou  Police Station. Studious and  modest, she became an  expert police officer and investigator. Statistics showed that  during Ren’s stay in the  Zhongyuan pre-trial division  of Zhengzhou, she achieved  unprecedented success in  Henan, with 1,072 cases  handled and more than 950  culprits captured. During her  four years in the department  of public security and legal  work in Zhengzhou, Ren handled more than 1,000 cases,  all of which were handled  professionally and fairly. In April 2001, Ren was  promoted to commissioner  of Dengfeng Police Station.  There, Ren became the  first female police commissioner in Henan’s history. In  Dengfeng, many cases were  previously left unsolved, so  Ren pledged to change the  tone of the department within 100 days. The investigative  process for many cases was  laborious. Sometimes Ren  and her colleagues had to  spend tens of days in the field  under difficult conditions. On April 14, 2004,  after reporting to work in  Zhengzhou, Ren drove back  to Dengfeng that night to  handle an important case.  Unfortunately, she never arrived at Dengfeng. She died  from injuries related to a car  accident. She was 40. From the day Ren began  her work, she remained faithful to the CPC and dutifully  fulfilled her responsibility  to serve the people. In her  lifetime, she received more  than 40 achievement awards.  In 2004 and 2009, Ren was  named one of the 100 key  people who has “Moved  China” in the years since the  nation’s founding
