There are 3 bosses in the old society of Shanghai, namely Jin Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin, and Du Yuesheng, but Du Yuesheng's name sounds tight and affectionate, perhaps this is the reason why he has more three points of love than the deeds of the other two Youth Gang bosses.

Du Yuesheng's original wife was named Shen Yueying, who was only one year younger than Du Yuesheng. Shen Yueying's mother was the comb-haired aunt in the Huang Mansion, which was The Mansion of Jin Rong.

Du Yuesheng first entered the eyes of Lin Guisheng, the wife of Jin Rong, and was responsible for running a casino called "Gongxing Club" in the French Concession. Because he often went in and out of the Huang Mansion, Lin Guisheng simply gave Shen Yueying to him and was responsible for taking care of his daily life. Because of this relationship, even if Du Yuesheng later became a leader of the Green Gang who could be equal to Jin Rong's status, he still attached great importance to Shen Yueying.
