On New Year's Eve in previous years, Ma Huailong, a community policeman from the Qingdao Municipal Public Security Bureau, always accompanied the elderly in his jurisdiction to celebrate the New Year. This year, he received an invitation from China Central Radio and Television Station's CCTV Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala and will use a different way to stay with the people in his jurisdiction. .
"I can finally watch a complete Spring Festival Gala, and I am also watching this Spring Festival Gala for many people." On the morning of January 28, Ma Huailong said with excitement.
On September 8, 2023, the "Power of Loyalty - 'Tell Shandong Political and Legal Story' Creative Communication Competition and 'My Political and Legal Story' Essay Exhibition of Excellent Works" event was co-sponsored by the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Dazhong Newspaper Group Among them, "46 Keys" based on Ma Huailong's advanced deeds not only moved the audience, but also attracted widespread social attention through publicity reports.

Ma Huailong is 57 years old. After transferring from the army in 2008, he took root at the Xinglong Road Police Station of the Shibei Branch of Qingdao Public Security Bureau in Shandong Province and became a community policeman. In the two communities under Lao Ma's jurisdiction, there are more than 7,000 households and more than 20,000 residents, and no one does not know him. The lonely elderly people and disabled residents in the community all regard him as one of their own family members and take the initiative to hand him the keys so that he can "go home and visit" at any time.
He is the "son" of an old man living alone and the "father" of unrelated children... Ma Huailong often "hangs" 46 special keys around his waist, each of which is a promise.
[2] Formed a volunteer assistance team, and his wife also joined
Ma Huailong's "warm-heartedness" that is willing to help others is due to his mother's influence on him. Ma Huailong once mentioned that when he was about 10 years old, his mother took care of a lonely old man for 20 years. Later, he joined the army and often visited the lonely elderly people in nursing homes. He has always liked doing this, and this family tradition has never been lost.
Lao Ma spends a large part of his monthly salary on visiting and taking care of the lonely elderly. Lao Ma himself doesn't know how much money has been spent on the elderly. At the beginning, my wife also complained a lot.
Ma Huailong's wife Duan Youping said, "One day when he was doing laundry, I found more than ten keys in his pocket. Then I asked Ma Huailong, you are not a security guard, what are you doing with so many keys? You are just an ordinary policeman. Later. Lao Ma told me that it was the key to the lonely old man he was helping, and we chatted all night. After hearing this, I felt more moved and began to understand him."
From the initial lack of understanding to recognition, now My wife also took the initiative to join the volunteer team.
Now, those who are busy traveling with Lao Ma include his family members and community residents who have been helped and touched by him. Many people have joined this team. In 2022, a volunteer service team named after Lao Ma was established and now has more than 300 members. They found warmth in Lao Ma and passed this warmth to others.
"Each of the 46 keys in my hand is very heavy. Why is it heavy? Because when you receive this key, the family trusts you, and you have to take care of the family. Not care. One day, two days, one year or two years, this is long-term work. This key is very heavy and I can’t lift it alone, but with caring people, everyone is helping me. So in the future, I may still There will be 47 or 48, but whether it is 47, 48 or 477 or 4777, we can all hold it. Because we have the power of love and we are constantly gathering and growing." Ma Huailong said.

"I did not come to watch the Spring Festival Gala alone, but for many people. When I return to the community, I will tell them the story of the Spring Festival Gala." Ma Huailong said that he received many calls at once , the elders in the community said that they must watch carefully during the Spring Festival Gala and not miss Officer Ma’s shot.
"Because I have to work at the grassroots level and visit the people in the jurisdiction when the Spring Festival comes, I have never watched a Spring Festival Gala in its entirety. This time I finally don't have to be distracted." Ma Huailong said that he had temporarily divided some of his "keys" After I went out, I asked my colleagues at the police station, community workers and volunteer service teams to help take care of the elderly in orphaned and disabled families in the area. "Only when these elderly people have something to spend the holidays can I go out with peace of mind."
