When I was very young and had not yet seen any TV series, there was a theme song of a TV series that I was already familiar with, that is, the theme song of the tv series "Shanghai Beach". A little older, I understood how wide the influence of this TV series really was, and the most popular and handsome outfit for men at that time was Xu Wenqiang's large white scarf and trench coat.
People who have watched the TV series should remember that Xu Wenqiang's legendary life is inseparable from the support of a nobleman, who is the big man on the beach, Feng Jingyao. Many people think that Shanghai Beach is just a TV series, and the characters in it are fictional. But art comes from life, whether it is Xu Wenqiang or Feng Jingyao, there are prototypes in history, and Feng Jingyao's prototype is to help the boss on the beach, Jin Rong.
Jin Rong was originally a scoundrel in the land, and learned the craft of framing, but he was always unable to work quietly and seriously. Just when he could not hold on, he happened to encounter the French Concession, in order to maintain law and order, openly recruit patrols. At that time, it was very popular to be able to be a patrol in the foreign concession in Shanghai, and Jin Jinrong was only 32 years old at the time, and he was born with a fairly strong physique and successfully entered the patrol room.
Jin Rong's development is inseparable from a woman, his original wife Lin Guisheng. Although Lin Guisheng was born in Jiangnan Water Town, he was not at all as tender as water as a Jiangnan woman. She opened a shop in Shanghai's Shili Yangchang to do some business to welcome. Because of his work in the patrol house, Jin Rong began to intersect with Lin Gui and fell in love with this hot and tough boss lady. Under the diligent pursuit of Jin Rong, Lin Guisheng fell and married him.
Lin Guisheng is a very ambitious woman, she told Jin Rong that when the patrol can only do nothing for a lifetime, it is better to break into her own career, Jin Rong was moved. The couple moved to a mixed place near the concession, and Lin Guisheng used the contacts he had accumulated when he opened the store to help Jin Rong establish the Qing Gang and open the road of black and white all-you-can-eat.
On the surface, Jin Rong is the only Chinese inspector in the French Concession, backed by the French Concession, and the general domestic forces do not dare to move him; secretly he is a big man on the beach, with the identity of the French Concession inspector, unscrupulously opening casinos, green buildings and other businesses, even arms and tobacco businesses dare to touch, the most brilliant time has more than 1,000 disciples. Du Yuesheng, another big man in the "Three Tycoons of Shanghai", was his subordinate at the beginning, and later because of Lin Guisheng's appreciation, he began to slowly stand up on his own.
Jin Rong's age is gradually increasing, the power has been stable, at this time to see the strong and also began to age his wife, it began to be a little uncomfortable, he began to be more inclined to that kind of delicate and interesting woman, such as the famous Lu Lanchun. Lu Lanchun is the adopted daughter of Jin Rongmen, who single-handedly promoted her as a famous corner of Shanghai and wanted to marry her into the door.
But Jin Jinrong also knew that Lin Guisheng's personality would definitely not tolerate Lu Lanchun, so he wanted Du Yuesheng, who had a good relationship with Lin Guisheng, to persuade him. There was no compromise in Lin Guisheng's dictionary, and she told Jin Jinrong that there was Lu Lanchun without her. The whole Shanghai Beach did not expect that Jin Jinrong really divorced Lin Guisheng for Lu Lanchun, so Du Yuesheng and Jin Rong had a gap, lin Guisheng set up another portal, and once again had a powerful force.
On the eve of the founding of New China, Du Yuesheng fled to Hong Kong Province and asked Lin Guisheng if he wanted to be together, But Lin Guisheng refused, and she decided to stay in this big Shanghai that made her cry and laugh and was about to fall lonely. There was another person who made the same choice with her, and that was her ex-husband Jin Rong.
At this time, most of Jin Rong's family property was swept away by his daughter-in-law Li Zhiqing, and Lu Lanchun had already divorced him to find true love, but his connections were still there, and some people advised him to go to Hong Kong Province, so that he could spend the rest of his life without worry, but he refused. It was the eve of 1949, and Jin Rong was 81 years old.
In 1951, Golden Rong accepted the call for transformation and began to sweep the street, and the news of "Golden Rong Sweeping Street" shocked many people at home and abroad. In 1953, the 85-year-old Jin Rong died, and the legendary life of a generation of Shanghai beach tycoons came to an end.
