In April 2023, the second meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress voted to pass the newly revised Anti Espionage Law of the People's Republic of China, which will come into effect on July 1, 2023. This provides important guarantees for accelerating the construction of a new pattern of work for national security organs on the track of the rule of law, and is of great significance for deepening the anti espionage struggle of national security organs in the new era and new journey, and building a strong national security barrier.

The vast number of national security officers of the national security organs always bear in mind their instructions and bravely shoulder their missions, fighting on the front lines of anti infiltration, anti subversion, anti separatism, and anti terrorism struggles, faithfully fulfilling their duties, and using their youth and passion to build a strong steel wall to safeguard national security.

One evening, a special task force of the Shanghai National Security Bureau reviewed the case file as usual, and they had flipped through this thick material countless times.

"Come and see, there's a clue here!" Two crumpled business cards became the key clues to solving an important directional espionage case.

In an invisible battlefield, details often determine success or failure.

With professional skills and keen investigative intuition, the task force boldly envisioned and carefully sought evidence. Through the clues revealed in the business card, a complex and secretive espionage network gradually emerged. After intense investigation, the deeply buried spy was successfully dug out.

It may seem ordinary to dig out the spy behind a business card, but behind it lies the years of perseverance and accumulation of national security officers.

In order to dig out the "nails" buried in key departments, a police officer from a certain detachment of the National Security Department of Hebei Province has been fighting for more than 200 consecutive days, reviewing thousands of files and visiting hundreds of people, achieving a breakthrough in cracking down on the first case of espionage crimes in a certain field.

A senior police officer from the Shanghai National Security Bureau utilized his professional expertise to compile and improve a dictionary of abbreviations in a certain field. To this day, this almost ruined "treasure trove" is still passed down in the hands of the younger generation of investigators, becoming a "secret weapon" in the struggle against the enemy.

In the field of cybersecurity, victory or defeat often occurs in an instant. A certain department of the Sichuan Provincial Department of National Security has established a work platform that integrates multiple means and functions over a period of 4 years, achieving a leapfrog development of cyberspace defense capabilities from single technological breakthroughs to intelligent and systematic development. It effectively solves the problem of "difficult to detect potential threats, difficult to depict behavioral characteristics, and difficult to restore path traces".

Deeply implement laws and regulations such as the National Security Law, and investigate a number of major cases that endanger national security; Strengthen national security education for all, better organize and mobilize the entire society to counter espionage; Long term stationed on difficult frontlines to carry out tasks and faithfully safeguard national security... National security officers faithfully perform their duties on hidden fronts and make every effort to build a strong security barrier.

In the hinterland of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau with an average altitude of over 4200 meters, between the Bayan Kara Mountains and the Animaqing Mountains, facing the complex enemy situation and harsh environment of infiltration, division, subversion and destruction, national security officers silently guard the snowy plateau year after year, building a "steel defense line" with their flesh and blood.

When verifying clues, due to the long distance and blocked roads, as well as considerations for confidentiality work, staying overnight in the deep mountains and wilderness, having meals and camping became common. "A bowl of instant noodles, a glass of water, a whole night" is a true portrayal of the police officers.

Hardship is not afraid of hardship, lack of oxygen is not lacking in spirit.

"It is indeed difficult here, but the more difficult the place is, the more people need to guard it. If we don't go up, who will go up." Enduring the test of loneliness and loneliness, with unwavering loyalty to the cause of national security, they demonstrate the dedication and responsibility of national security officers in the new era with their youth and passion.

Jiang Dingbian is a frontline anti espionage police officer who has been stationed on the northern border of China for nearly 30 years. The port area where he is located is an important target for enemy infiltration and destruction. In the depths of winter, ports that pass customs 24 hours a day enter extremely cold weather with temperatures below minus 30 degrees Celsius. Accompanying Jiang Dingbian was not only the work equipment, but also a folding bed.

"This place is far from the capital, but very close to national security." Like Jiang Dingbian, countless national security officers rooted in the border of the motherland silently dedicate themselves.

Walking on the blade, some national security officers have sacrificed their precious lives and erected monuments with a firm belief in defending national security.

Speaking of the debt owed to the family, it is a pain in the heart of every national security officer.

The work of national security officers is secretive and cannot be confided in to their families. The saying "disappear as soon as you say" and the saying "even if there is an urgent matter at home, no one can be found" have become complaints from many family members of national security officers. However, after complaining, the family members used silent support to build a solid defense line for the police officers to work with peace of mind.

"He has to go to another city for a long time to carry out tasks, cut off contact with his original life circle, and I will adjust my work, let my child transfer to a new environment to adapt to. When he goes to his next position, we may face a family relocation." The wife and son of a national security police officer admitted, "Who made us national security family members? It's impossible to have no complaints, but we truly have no regrets."

The hidden front has accompanied the CPC along the way, and countless unsung heroes have given up their families and taken care of everyone, writing silent meritorious deeds with their blood. In the new era and on a new journey, national security organs will keep in mind their instructions, forge a steadfast and pure national security army that reassures the Party, is willing to contribute, and can win through hard work, and make new and greater contributions to safeguarding the construction of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation.
