Reporters finally found Hu, a female traffic police officer from the Third Squadron of the Fourth Branch of the Traffic Administration Bureau of Chengdu City. There are many attractive stories about Hu and even some military officers admire her.

She saluted 13 times in half an hour

The female traffic police officer previously stood on a crossroad near the Aolin Stadium and she smiled a lot every day. However, she is very strict with drivers who violate traffic rules. When she catches such a driver, she will not hesitate to resort to punishment. Some people call her a "soft weapon."

In the afternoon of September 21, a video entitled "a Chengdu female traffic police officer enforces the law in a tender way and the driver finally accepts punishment after a half hour of confrontation" appeared on the web. The footage shows that a female traffic police officer stopped an Alto car, and in about 20 minutes, she saluted again and again, with a smile on her face, in an attempt to persuade the driver to accept the punishment. Though the female traffic police officer saluted 13 times, the driver still refused to get out of his car.
