【原文】摘錄自11月3日香港《文匯報》：生活節奏快速的香港，人人來去匆匆，但每當別人需要協助時，港人從不吝嗇發揮互助的獅子山精神，香港警隊亦秉承這種核心值價，日行多善。

社交平台見得最多的是，網民「野生捕獲」有警員在馬路上，協助體力不繼的拾紙皮公公婆婆推車仔到安全地方。網民不知警員的姓名、警區，只能透過萬能的社交平台送上一句：「阿Sir，你真係好。」或將相片連表揚信寄給警務處。

記者找到其中兩名推車警員接受訪問，他們異口同聲表示，執法只是幫助市民的一個途徑，幫助弱勢社群更是警察的職責之一，不論執勤或休班，都想用點點綿力溫暖這座城市，我們的家園。

其中一位主角是東九龍總區交通及管制組第一隊男警員黃松燃。今年8月22日下午約5時，他如常駕駛電單車出更巡經觀塘區一帶時，發現開源道轉入巧明街交通擠塞，原因是一輛的士打着死火燈停在馬路二線上，的士前方有一位婆婆非常吃力地推着手推車在馬路上逆線緩慢行走，手推車上堆滿比人還高的紙皮。

黃松燃向香港文匯報記者憶述，當時已接近下班繁忙時段，路上車多人多，為免婆婆危險，他隨即將電單車亮起紅藍燈，停在馬路上作交通管制，並上前問婆婆：「妳想去哪兒？」對方說：「阿Sir，我想向前行……」黃松燃熱心建議：「咁樣好危險，不如我幫妳推上行人路。」

黃松燃解釋，前方路段車來車往，婆婆在馬路上推着車前行非常危險。說完，他隨即幫忙將手推車推到行人路，並叮囑婆婆「在行人路上走過去，馬路有好多車……妳自己慢慢推，小心啲啦。」婆婆開心地回應：「好啦。」

當他確定婆婆安全後，準備返回馬路駛走電單車繼續巡邏之際，一輛客貨車駛往他身旁，司機可能目擊他幫婆婆推車仔的過程，特意放下車窗向他說：「阿Sir，你真係好。」他聞言即回應：「咁係我哋（警察）本分。」

「我個人而言，就算是警察也好、市民也好，都應該幫助一些年紀比較大的老人家。警察執法只是幫助市民的一個途徑，幫助弱勢社群亦是我們警察的職責。」黃松燃說。

在伸出援手的那一刻，他覺得是出自職責和同理心，幫助婆婆能避免交通意外的發生。他認為，幫助有需要的人最重要是有心，未必一定要是警察身份，「即使我休班後是一位市民，都要幫助一些弱勢社群，這是盡市民的責任。再加上我是一名警察，就多了一份責任。無論是弱勢社群或普通市民，當有需要幫助我都會伸出援手。」

當日黃松燃幫助執紙皮婆婆的事跡，被目擊的市民拍下相片，並向警務處致送讚揚信。

黃松燃坦言：「那一刻不知道有市民拍照，我幫助人亦無諗過會有任何回報。」所以當收到通知有市民送上讚揚信，他感到好驚訝，非常感謝那位市民的讚賞。

「有無讚揚信都會做好本分」

他謙稱：「這封讚揚信只是我警察生涯的一部分，其實有無讚揚信我都會做好自己本分，盡一個警察的職責。」回想投身警隊的初衷，這封信更堅定了他的信心。

Compassionate Officer Aids Elderly, Defending the City with Love

【譯文】In Hong Kong, where the pace of life is fast and everyone is in a hurry, the people of Hong Kong never hesitate to show their Lion Rock spirit of mutual help when others need assistance, and the Hong Kong Police Force also adheres to this core value and does a lot of go.

On social media platforms, one of the most commonly seen scenes is that netizens "wild-caught" a police officer on the road, helping a cardboard collector who was physically weak to push his cart to a safe place. The netizens did not know the name of the police officer or the police district. They could only send a message through social media, saying, "Sir, you are perfect." They could also send a photo and a letter of commendation to the police department. The reporter found two of the police officers to be interviewed. They unanimously said that law enforcement is only a way to help the public, and helping the disadvantaged is one of the duties of the police; no matter whether they are on duty or off-duty, they all want to warm up this city and our homes with a little bit of sponge power.

One of the heroes is Police Constable Wong Chung-yin of the Kowloon East Regional Traffic and Control Section. On August 22 this year, at about 5:00 pm, as usual, he drove a motorcycle out of duty patrol through the Kwun Tong area and found that Hoi Yuen Road into the Hau Ming Street traffic congestion caused a cab with dead lights parked on the second line of the road, the cab in front of an older woman very hard to push a handcart in the road against the line of strolling, handcart piled up higher than a person's cardboard.

Wong recalled to Hong Kong Wen Wei Po reporter that it was close to the end of the rush hour, and the road was crowded. To avoid danger to the elderly, he immediately turned on the red and blue lights of the motorcycle, parked on the road for traffic control, and went up to the elderly and asked: "Where do you want to go? She said, "Sir, I want to go forward. ......" Wong enthusiastically suggested, "This is very dangerous; why don't I help you push on the pavement."

Wong explained that it was hazardous for the granny to push her car on the road with all the traffic in front of her. After that, he helped the trolley onto the pavement and told her, "Walking on the pavement, there are many cars on the road. You push slowly and be careful." The old lady responded happily, "Okay."

When he was sure the old lady was safe, he was about to return to the road to continue patrolling on his motorcycle when a van approached him. The driver, who might have witnessed him helping her to push the car, purposely lowered the van window and said to him, "Sir, you are nice." He responded, "That's our job."

"I think both the police and the public should help the older people. Law enforcement is only a way to help the public, and the police also must help the underprivileged". Mr. Wong said.

At the moment of lending a helping hand, he felt that it was out of duty and empathy that he helped the old lady to avoid a traffic accident. He believes that the essential thing in helping people in need is to have a heart, not necessarily the status of a police officer, "Even if I am a member of the public after work, I have to help the underprivileged; this is to fulfil my duty as a member of the public. Even if I am a member of the public after work, I have to help disadvantaged groups. Whether it is the underprivileged or ordinary citizens, I will lend a helping hand when they need help."

On that day, a public member who witnessed the incident was photographed and sent a letter of commendation to the Police Force.

Wong revealed, "At that moment, I did not know someone had taken photos of me, and I did not think I would get anything for my help. He was surprised when he was informed that a public member had sent him a letter of commendation and was grateful to him for his appreciation.

He humbly said, "This letter of commendation is only part of my career as a police officer. In fact, with or without the letter of commendation, I would have done my job well and fulfilled my duties as a police officer". Thinking back to the beginning of his career in the police force, this letter has strengthened his confidence.
