Du Yuesheng died at the age of 63, and Chiang Kai-shek sent 4 words, telling Du Yuesheng's true personality!
In Shanghai in the 20s and 30s of the last century, Jin Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin were known as the "three tycoons of Shanghai", of which Jin Rong was greedy for money, Zhang Xiaolin could fight, and Du Yuesheng would be a man, and it was precisely because of the different personalities of the three that Du Yuesheng's influence was greater.
The relationship between Du Yuesheng and Chiang Kai-shek should start from Chiang Kai-shek's "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, when Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to eliminate the Communist Party in Shanghai in order to implement dictatorial rule, and he understood that if he wanted to do a good job in this matter, he could not do without Du Yuesheng's help, and at this time, Du Yuesheng was also optimistic about Chiang Kai-shek's development and wanted to lean on this big tree, so the two hit it off.
After careful arrangement, Du Yuesheng first killed Wang Shouhua, the leader of the Shanghai workers, and then commanded his disciples to arrest and kill other Communists, causing extremely tragic consequences. Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with Du Yuesheng's work and offered a commendation, and from then on, Du Yuesheng and Chiang Kai-shek established a close cooperative relationship.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Du Yuesheng cooperated with Chiang Kai-shek's instructions and resolutely did not want to be a traitor and took refuge in Hong Kong; during this period, Du Yuesheng made great contributions to the anti-Japanese struggle to save the country, and he not only donated money and materials, but also helped Dai Kasa get rid of many traitors and won praise from society.
However, after the victory of the War of Resistance, Du Yuesheng thought that he had worked hard and made great achievements, and Chiang Kai-shek should have left him the position of mayor of Shanghai, at least a position of vice mayor, however, unexpectedly, Du Yuesheng did not get anything, his heart was very hurt, he felt that he was a night pot, he used it when he needed it, and when he did not need it, it was smelly under the bed.
In 1949, Chiang Kai-shek had a premonition that he was going to fail, so he invited Du Yuesheng to go to Taiwan with him, but the shrewd Du Yuesheng refused on the grounds that Taiwan's climate was not suitable, he knew Chiang Kai-shek too well, if he went to Taiwan, he would certainly not have a good end, and finally he chose to go to Hong Kong.
In 1951, Du Yuesheng's physical condition deteriorated sharply, and finally he died of illness on August 16, and after the news reached Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek sent 4 words "Righteous Festival Nie Zhao" to tell Du Yuesheng's life as a person. From these four words, it can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek still appreciates Du Yuesheng's very moralistic character.
