In 2024, the elimination of the three evils will make many mainland people pay attention to the current situation of gangsters in Taiwan Province again.
In fact, Taiwanese gangs have existed for many years, and although they mainly operate illegal businesses, it is different from many people's stereotypes of gangsters burning, killing, and looting.
【Taiwanese Gangsters】
In short, there have also been some righteous people among Taiwanese gangsters. Among them, the most representative is undoubtedly Zhang Anle, a gangster in Taiwan, who single-handedly stirred up the entire Taiwan Province and has long been committed to the cause of peaceful reunification between the two sides of the strait.
Taiwanese gangster legend
In the 90s of the last century, Zhang Anle's name was thunderous in the mainland, he was one of the most successful Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland at that time, and his company became the world's first in the industry, enjoying a high reputation.
【Zhang Anle】
But in fact, Zhang Anle has another identity in Taiwan Province that is more famous, that is, the top boss of the Bamboo Union Gang, which has been the most powerful gang in Taiwan Province for a long time.
The first half of Zhang Anle's life is extremely legendary, he is a native of Nanjing, his father was an officer of the Kuomintang at that time, and his position was not low, after the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated to Taiwan Province, Zhang Anle's family also settled in Taiwan Province.
Zhang Anle's growth environment is very good, and his academic performance in school is also very good, but Zhang Anle came into contact with the local underworld forces in Taiwan Province because of an opportunity and entered their circle.
【Zhang Anle】
For others, it may be unfortunate for the family to embark on this path, but Zhang Anle seems to have been born to eat this bowl of rice, and joined the Bamboo Union Gang at the age of 16, when the Bamboo Union Gang was still a new force in the underworld circle in Taiwan Province.
Zhang Anle is known as the white wolf in the gang, once the gang brawl was interfered with by the police, Zhang Anle's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, went up and cut a policeman, squatted in prison for a year before being released.
This qualification has allowed Zhang Anle to be reused within the gang and has become a well-known figure in the underworld circle in Taiwan Province, and Zhang Anle is indeed a talent.
While making a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, he did not waste his studies, and he was admitted to Tamkang University with excellent results, specializing in history.
【Zhang Anle】
It is said that hooligans are not terrible, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated, Zhang Anle is such a strange person, while he finished his university studies, he also set up a branch of the Bamboo Union Gang in Tamjiang.
But then again, the university environment in Taiwan Province is completely different from that of the mainland, in fact, there are not a few students in Tamkang University who claim to have gangster identities, and Zhang Anle led his Bamboo Union Gang brothers to defeat the Four Seas Gang forces in the school.
Zhang Anle is often provoked by some small gang forces in school, but he is not a weak scholar, and he breaks up the other party with a dance of guns and sticks.
【Tamkang University】
Because of his meritorious work in "opening up the territory and expanding the territory", Zhang Anle's status in the Bamboo Union Gang is getting higher and higher.
In 1965, the Bamboo Union Gang became the largest gangster organization in Taiwan Province, and Zhang Anle became the right-hand man of the boss Chen Qili.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qili had just reached the top, and he was plagued by a man named Chen Ren, Chen Qili listened to this person's suggestion to engage in fraud, and after several successes, Chen Qili handed over the financial power of the gang to Chen Li.
As a result, as soon as Chen Li was arrested by the police, he shook off the inside story of the gang, so much so that even Chiang Kai-shek personally inquired about the matter and asked the Taiwan Provincial Police to sweep up the Bamboo Union Gang.
Zhang Anle would have been implicated, but because of the protection of his student status, he did not leave any leverage, but survived the turmoil unscathed.
【Zhang Anle】
Zhang Anle did not lose confidence because of the current situation, on the contrary, he knew very well that as soon as Chen Qili entered, his time would come.
From the black boss to the hero of unification
Compared with ordinary underworld people, the most valuable thing about Zhang Anle is that he will analyze the current situation and introduce some professional management models into the gangsters.
After Zhang Anle took over Chen Qili's position as the boss, he did not choose to immediately expand his own power, but carried out top-down reforms from within the gang.
【Zhang Anle】
Zhang Anle used the idea of doing a company to manage the gang, and also held a special training course for the gang members, asking them to learn the sophistication of human affairs and etiquette, so as to deal with the upper class.
Although it is said that the gang members learn the etiquette of the upper class, the effect is significant, and the members no longer regard themselves as people in the rivers and lakes, nor do they advocate being brave and ruthless.
【Bamboo Union Gang】
After realizing that the internal struggle of the Bamboo Union Gang was becoming more and more intense, Zhang Anle also lost interest in continuing to lead the Bamboo Union Gang and went to study at Stanford University in the United States.
While in the United States, Zhang Anle offended the US government and the Taiwan authorities for his public remarks, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
In the past 10 years, Zhang Anle has spent his time reading, and after he studied Das Kapital and other Marxist works in depth, his political stance and ideology have undergone tremendous changes.
After Zhang Anle returned to Taiwan Province in the 90s of the last century, he founded a company to do business with the Bamboo Union Gang, and secondly, he publicized the anti-Taiwan independence movement in Taiwan Province and founded the "China Reunification Promotion Party".
【Zhang Anle】
As more and more people support Zhang Anle, his life in Taiwan Province is becoming more and more difficult. The Taiwan authorities and the "Taiwan independence" forces can be said to have itched their teeth with hatred for this gangster who has single-handedly stirred up the whole of Taiwan.
In the face of such a high-pressure and dangerous living environment, he simply took his own business to the mainland to continue to do business, and took advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up to become bigger and bigger, and finally even became the industry boss on a global scale.
But no one expected that just when Zhang Anle became famous, he publicly announced that he would return to Taiwan Province and surrender.
Although he has a very high status in the gang over the years, he has not committed any actual crimes, and only by returning to Taiwan Province can he propagate the idea of peaceful reunification between the two sides of the strait.
【Zhang Anle】
When he was taken away by the Taiwan Provincial Police at the airport, Zhang Anle held aloft the pamphlet "Peaceful Reunification, One Country, Two Systems" that he had personally written.
Since the Taiwan authorities did not have conclusive evidence that Zhang Anle was suspected of committing a crime, Zhang Anle was released after three hours of detention, and since then he has continued to propagate the political concept of one country, two systems, and peaceful reunification on the island.
