Chapter 44 Memories from the Gold Star

On November 22, "United Daily News" published a news that all the police officers surnamed Wang were dispatched from Bitan, Xindian Police Station, Taipei County. The police stars on their uniforms were particularly dazzling. I dare say that he marked 20,000 yuan each. Yes, in addition to legitimate purposes, the remaining funds are hung up with two gold police star pendants, which can prevent theft and save money.From this piece of news, the author remembered a scandal when he became a civil servant for the first time. During the period of the Beiyang government in the 123rd year of the Republic of China, I had not yet graduated from school. During the summer vacation, I found the Northwest Geographies drawn by my ancestor Wen Zhengong, and studied the distribution of lakes and mountains in the north and south of the Kuruk Mountains and Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang.Suddenly, Grand Duke Li Muzhai (Sheng Duo) came to Shexia. He was in the same year as his ancestor Wen Zhengong Gengchen. He was very happy to see me study the study of geology and he took me to see his student, Jingjie. Mr. Xie Xiaoshi, the director of the bureau, let me go to the bureau to practice and experience. At the same time, the border map of the bureau and the imperial Russia have very detailed records of dividing the territory.The Economic and Border Bureau is a cold yamen, and I don’t sign in when I go to and from get off work. When I have free time, I go to the reference room of the bureau to read books and drawings.The bureau gave me a badge in seven colors. It must have been worn by many people.I didn't like to hang badges, so I hid this badge in my wallet, and only showed it to the management staff when I borrowed books from the library in the bureau.

One day, I accompanied Xianci to Toutiao Baohengxiang jewelry store in the corridor outside the front door to inlay hand ornaments.Zhu Long, the shopkeeper, usually likes to chat with me the most. After chatting, we talked about whether or not to hang a badge on the yamen.He said: "Yu Shuyan worked with Director Guo Baochang of the General Affairs Office of the 'Presidential Palace'. For a year, he was sent on a mission by the government to sing and play at Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai. All the arrangements for the front and backstage naturally fell on Shuyan. He also doesn't wear a badge. He has never been stopped when he enters and exits the General Affairs Office, but the guards at the gate of Huairen Hall don't know him. Back to the show. Fortunately, Lei Zhenchun from the inspector's office gave the guard a hard time and comforted Yu Shuyan, so the matter was settled."

I said, "I have an errand in the Economic and Border Bureau, but the badge is too ugly, so I don't want to wear it." Shopkeeper Zhu said: "Take it out and let me have a look. I can show you something new!" I showed him that the enamel bottom and the steel wire were almost worn out, and there was no way to repair it. He said: "I'll give you a silver burnt bluish Baomei as it is." I asked him to order one without thinking about it.When it is finished, it is really elegant and beautiful, and the sun is dazzling. Compared with the first-class Great Ribbon Jiahe Medal, it looks more embroidered and embroidered.Because it was too dazzling, I didn't dare to hang it, so I asked my predecessor, Mrs. Yan Yintong.The teacher told me: "The badge is like a famous utensil awarded to you. How can you just copy it for innovation? Destroy it as soon as possible."

Because the new product was so delicate and lovely, I couldn't bear to destroy it, so I kept it in a collection. It was not until the Northern Expedition was completed and I went to the Ministry of Finance that I took it out and used it as a key chain pendant.Recently, I saw police officer Wang wearing a gold police star, which is exactly the same as the silver badge I made privately in the past.Thinking back on the teenager's absurd behavior, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
