Summit visitors take a shine to Hangzhou police
Print Edition
PAN Hongjiang, a traffic police officer in Hangzhou, has become an online celebrity for a video clip showing him giving travel tips in English.
A few days ago, Pan recorded a video after he found the city’s scenic West Lake area had become very crowded and he realized visitors might need help. He uploaded it to the official microblog of the local police bureau and it instantly became a hit. Since then, he has attracted a following both for his good looks and fluent English.
The 2016 Group of 20 summit will be held in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province in east China, tomorrow and Monday. Visitors are swarming to the city and more police are patrolling the streets in preparation for the summit.
While many police have the reputation of being cold, a group of young and energetic officers in Hangzhou has shown another side of the police force on social media.
Pan has been polishing his English skills to better serve tourists from across the world. “Hangzhou is going international, and so are we,” he said.
At a checkpoint near West Lake, policeman Xu Jiong is dressed in a cartoon panda costume. He gets his picture taken with more than 1,000 people per day. And some officers are even being treated like pop stars.
Pictures of Shi Mengpeng, who has been called the “most handsome police officer in Hangzhou” on social media, have received more than a million hits on the Chinese microblogging site Sina Weibo.
