The 25th "China People's Armed Police Loyal Guardian" Selection Announced

第25届“中国武警忠诚卫士”评选揭晓

PLA Daily (解放军报) 5 August 2026

Summary

The People's Armed Police Force Party Committee Standing Committee approved the 25th cohort of 'China People's Armed Police Loyal Guardian' honorees: eleven living personnel and four posthumous martyrs, selected through a process launched in April that ran from nomination through formal approval. The article explicitly frames the selection as a vehicle for releasing the effects of 政治整训 (political rectification training) and 思想整风 (ideological rectification), placing it within an ongoing PAP-wide campaign rather than treating it as a routine awards cycle. This documents how the PAP is using its premier individual commendation mechanism to reinforce compliance with Xi-era political discipline, with the specific linkage to rectification campaigns providing a baseline for tracking how that framing evolves in future cohorts.

Translation

Recently, following deliberation and approval by the Standing Committee of the People's Armed Police Force Party Committee, the results of the 25th "China People's Armed Police Loyal Guardian" selection were announced. Eleven officers and soldiers of firm political conviction, outstanding deeds, and distinguished merit — Wang Zhongke, Wang Shengli, Wang Jian, Long Haisheng, Zhu Jiahong, Liu Changjin, Sun Jinwei, Shen Cong, Song Xiao'ou, Zhang Kexin, and Zhao Hairan (listed in order of stroke count of surname) — were honorably selected as "China People's Armed Police Loyal Guardians." Four martyrs — Yi Xinyu, Miao Jian, Cheng Long, and Qiao Helin — were posthumously awarded the title of "China People's Armed Police Loyal Guardian."

Selecting the 25th "China People's Armed Police Loyal Guardians" is a concrete measure to implement Chairman Xi's important statements on carrying forward glorious traditions and promoting advanced models; it is an important step in releasing the positive effects of political rectification training (政治整训) and激发 igniting positive energy for strengthening the military; and it is a favorable opportunity to comprehensively showcase the People's Armed Police Force's strong image. Since the selection process was launched in April of this year, all levels have attached great importance to it and organized it rigorously, with officers and soldiers at large responding actively and participating enthusiastically. In accordance with the rules of the "China People's Armed Police Loyal Guardian" selection activity, this selection followed the procedures of deployment, nomination, screening, assessment, and approval, adhering to the principles of "emphasizing exemplary deeds, emphasizing the front lines of missions, emphasizing top performers in their fields, and emphasizing grassroots officers and soldiers." It placed emphasis on strictly upholding standards and conditions, strictly controlling assessment checkpoints, consistently selecting the best of the best, and giving balanced consideration to all lines of work, so as to ensure the advanced nature, typicality, and breadth of coverage of those commended. The selected "China People's Armed Police Loyal Guardians" are advanced models who have grown up nurtured and guided by Xi Jinping's thought on strengthening the military; they are outstanding representatives who have been tempered into steel through the conduct of ideological rectification (思想整风) and the deepening of political rectification training (政治整训); and they are benchmark examples who have striven and forged ahead in the practice of working hard to strengthen the military in the new era. Among them are heroic models who have performed guard duties, responded to emergencies, safeguarded rights, and enforced the law; extreme warriors who have honed their military skills, strengthened their capabilities, and achieved outstanding results time and again; and distinguished backbone personnel who have been dedicated and built merit at their posts. They fully demonstrate the new bearing forged through the revolutionary tempering of the century-old people's army; they collectively display the firm conviction of the officers and soldiers of the People's Armed Police Force to obey the Party's command, be capable of winning battles, and maintain an excellent work style; and they comprehensively reflect the abundant fruits achieved through the campaign to "strive to be loyal guardians of the Party and the people." Their advanced deeds and lofty spirit will surely further mobilize, inspire, and guide officers and soldiers at large to emulate those of virtue and excellence — to study the spirit of the Loyal Guardians, follow the path of the Loyal Guardians, and create the achievements of the Loyal Guardians — and on the journey of working hard to achieve the centenary goal of army-building (建军一百年奋斗目标), to strive to write a new chapter of shouldering responsibility for the high-quality development of the People's Armed Police Force.
