In the real modern history, the character of Xu Wenqiang is naturally not real, Xu Wenqiang dominates the beach and becomes a big man on the side of the party, although his reputation in Shanghai is not necessarily good, but it is definitely a presence that everyone respects.
Although the character of Xu Wenqiang does not really exist, the character of Xu Wenqiang is not randomly invented, Xu Wenqiang has a prototype.
Regarding who is the real prototype of Xu Wenqiang, in fact, the hundred families have their own hundred words, some people say that Xu Wenqiang's prototype is Xu Baochu, some people say that its prototype is Du Yuesheng, about Xu Wenqiang's prototype, each family has its own reason, no one can convince anyone.
But in fact, after all, Xu Wenqiang is a fabricated character, who is Xu Wenqiang's real prototype is really important, the prototype is just a reference, Xu Wenqiang's image is not necessarily just based on a person's image.
Xu Wenqiang was a man who struggled with love and hate, and So did Xu Baochu, in 1915 to 1917, Xu Baochu, with his own unscrupulous means, became acquainted with Du Yuesheng and became a brother, and for a long time afterward, Xu Baochu was jealous and hateful, assassinated many high-ranking officials and magnates, and many high-level officials and powerful people were assassinated by him, at this time Xu Baochu had already joined the Shanghai Axe Gang.
With the Axe Gang as the backstage, Xu Baochu did have arrogant capital, Xu Baochu died in the plot to assassinate Zhang Xiaolin, when Zhang Xiaolin, with his back to the Japanese, almost became a mission in Shanghai Beach, Xu Baochu's life, and Xu Wenqiang are too similar.
Of course, Xu Wenqiang is also very similar to Du Yuesheng in some aspects, although Du Yuesheng is a gangster in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng is not like the general gangster, Du Yuesheng likes to wear a long shirt, like a Confucian general, but he is the most powerful person on the beach.
Du Yuesheng and Xu Wenqiang also have similarities, the two are slowly growing up from childhood, Du Yuesheng was young, and even once worked as a fruit farmer, and later introduced by people, he got the opportunity to enter the Huang Mansion, in the Huang Mansion he got the recognition of Jin Rong, and since then he has gradually grown bigger, and slowly become one of the three giants of the Green Gang on the side of the Ling.
Du Yuesheng is a man of all kinds and exquisite aspects, and his people are extremely good at making friends, whether it is the small leader of the Green Gang, or the warlord of one side, or even the existence of Dai Kasa, all have a good relationship with Du Yuesheng, and Du Yuesheng even actively participated in the anti-Japanese resistance and helped the authorities fight against the Japanese.
Du Yuesheng's life trajectory has many similarities with Xu Wenqiang.
Xu Wenqiang is still a fabricated character in the end, maybe he is Xu Baochu, or maybe he is Du Yuesheng.
