The working environment has changed, the original intention has not changed

At 23:42 on June 30, 1997, the transfer ceremony of the Hong Kong regime of the Chinese and British governments began on time. Numerous Chinese people stayed in front of the TV and waited for this solemn moment, waiting for the bell to sound at zero. Wang Zhihong, the Republic of Kowloon Customs, was one of the members of that year.

He recalled that when the national flag rose slowly, his heart was very excited, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. On the morning of July 1st, when he went to work on the same way, he witnessed the renaming ceremony held in the Kowloon Customs. From this day, the "People's Republic of China Kowloon Customs" officially changed its name to "Shenzhen Customs of the People's Republic of China". That year, it happened to be the seventh year of Wang Zhihong's work in the customs.

When he reached the place of work, he saw that the familiar port building was full of decorations to celebrate the return of Hong Kong, and the joy of celebrating the return of Hong Kong everywhere. Wang Zhihong and his colleagues were also glowing at the moment of renewal at the moment. It seemed that everything did not change, but everyone deeply knew that it has become a bit different from today.

He stood in the application channel and was full of joy. Every Hong Kong passenger who passes through the customs is full of joy and the pace is even lighter. Wang Zhihong still did the work in his hand according to his workflow, but in his heart, he could not help but congratulate: "Welcome home."

In recent years, Wang Zhihong has been working in the affiliated units in Shenzhen Customs, turning around, and returning to Luohu Port. He said that he was just like a customs officer who was silently dedicated to the front line. In recent years, the job has changed and the working environment has changed, but the mission of loyalty to the people and the original intention of serving the people have not changed.

"Cross Cross" witnessed port butterfly changes

Since 2006, Ms. Gan has traveled to and from Shenzhen and Hong Kong for a long time to live "Shuangcheng Life". The first time I arrived in Hong Kong, I passed the Plog Port. "It was a high heatstroke vacation in 2006. I took my relatives and lined up in the seasons of the crowd. It was only one or two hours in a row." Ms. Gan told the deep night reporter.

When she was in college, Ms. Gan found that she had a lot of faster customs clearance. She revealed that every time I took the Hong Kong ID card, I passed the card. Without the artificial channel, the pass was much faster. "Later, due to work needs, basically, I passed Shenzhen from Hong Kong every week, and Luohu Port also became a place where I don't need to see how to go." She said.

Ms. Gan's experience is not uncommon for tourists to and from Shenzhen Hong Kong daily. Over the years, ports have been constantly transforming. In 2001, the customs inspection on the site added a door -type metal detector; in 2003, the Luohu Port's entry and exit channels enabled the infrared rapid body temperature detector; in 2008, the reform of the classification of entry passengers was innovative, and the "Shenzhen -Hong Kong Student Children" was opened at the entry site " The "special channel for customs clearance; in 2018, the face intelligent identification system of the human face is launched, relying on" face recognition+big data "to achieve concealed supervision of the whole process ... small details and small changes everywhere have made the" no sensing customs clearance "go further further. While realizing the rapid interception of key personnel, the customs journey of ordinary passengers is smoother and the customs clearance experience is more comfortable.

After Hong Kong returned to the motherland, the exchanges between the Mainland and Hong Kong gradually deepened and the personnel exchanged were close. At the same time as the number of passengers increased, the types and quantities of the paids carried on their shoulders and shoulders were quietly changing with the development of the economy.

Wang Zhihong recalled that more than 20 years ago, most passengers carried them in Hong Kong's candy chocolates and electronic products such as watches and radios with a variety of watches and radios. Gradually, cosmetics, trend luxury goods, and electronic products have gradually become the "good heart" of passengers. These quiet changes intuitively reflect the economic development and cultural exchanges between Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
