Taipei City Police Da’an Branch Dunhua South Road Police Station cook Ma Li retired honorably after 27 years

The Dunhua South Road Police Station of the Taipei City Police Da'an Branch will give birth to a "retired colleague" Ma Li at the end of this month. She has accompanied the police for 27 years. Although she does not carry police equipment on duty, she always prepares a variety of delicious food and has become the best logistics supply force. In addition to expressing condolences to the grassroots during the Spring Festival, Police Chief Lin Yantian today also specially issued red envelopes and small retirement gifts to express Ma Li's silent efforts.

It is understood that Li Ma has been a cook at the Dunhua South Road Police Station since August 10, 1999. She has gone through the 921 earthquake, the reconstruction of the old police station, and all the way to the new police station. However, at the age of 73 this year, she has decided to retire honorably at the end of this month, and her 27 years of kitchen logistics and supply work will also come to an end.

The grassroots colleagues said with reluctance that Li Ma always treats her colleagues at the police station as her own children. She works 26 days a month and prepares at least two meat dishes for each meal, as well as fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, etc. and a large pot of soup. Considering that each colleague only has to pay 1,300 yuan for one meal and 2,600 yuan for two meals per month, it is quite rich.

The grassroots pointed out that because many colleagues are on duty outside and cannot eat on time when handling cases, Li Ma will wait until the last police officer has finished eating before getting off work. Moreover, if there is not enough food at that time, she will cook noodles from her own pocket to feed her. There is also a saying among colleagues that there is a kind of hunger called "Li Ma" to prevent you from being hungry.

It is reported that Li Ma once sold soy milk with her family, but because the landlord took back the store, she had to find another way out, and then worked in the kitchen. Since the original chef of Dunhua South Road Police Station resigned at that time, Li Ma took over the job through the introduction of a friend, accompanying her colleagues through countless busy days. It has been 27 years now, and she will be honorably retired at the end of this month.
