In the vigorous Xinhai Revolution, the late Qing Dynasty, which was shaky and decaying and dilapidated, finally came to the end of falling apart. However, the Qing army was invincible to the revolutionary army and had to announce its surrender, not that they were completely annihilated and died at the last moment. So, where did the remaining Qing troops, who numbered up to a million, go?
In fact, the lives of the people in the late Qing Dynasty had already become poorer and poorer because of social unrest and war. Heavy taxes made their lives tight, and many people had no choice but to join the ranks of the Qing army in order to eat a mixed meal. When they found out that after the End of the Qing Dynasty' rule, staying in the military camp had no meaning to them, and it was better to return to their hometown early to find another job.
The rest are displaced and homeless orphans who work the same way everywhere, so some of them join the ranks of the warlords. However, there are still a small number of people whose choices are very different.
At that time, Hong Kong had already been ceded to Britain in the Treaty of Nanking, but it did not mean that all Of Hong Kong was under British administration, there was a place, although it was located above the area of Hong Kong, but the jurisdiction was still in the hands of the Qing government, this place, that is, the Kowloon Walled City.
With the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the Kowloon City Walled City was completely freed from the jurisdiction of any force and became a gray area. It is said that at that time, the Kowloon City Walled City was very bad, both a slum and a secret stronghold for various illegal and criminal activities. In the dungeon, activities such as the drug trade and illegal gambling attract a large number of local residents. The remaining Qing army saw that the people here were scattered, so they took the opportunity to occupy this place.
After all, the remaining Qing army still has a certain strength, and it is not difficult at all to deal with those residents who fight and fight all day and are mentally decadent. Therefore, this army was king in the Kowloon City Walled City and became the "boss" himself. At that time, the British saw such developments and worried that the Kowloon Walled City would affect their rule over Hong Kong. Therefore, they have been expelled many times, but to no avail.
Later, after the end of World War II, New China was founded. Everywhere is a new look, ready to meet the new life and new journey, except for the Kowloon City Walled City, as if isolated from the world, only indulged in their own "yellow gambling and drugs" world. To this end, the local government decided to revitalize the atmosphere in Hong Kong, and together with the British, they jointly attacked this gray area, and the "last Qing army" that fled because of the dissolution of the Qing Dynasty was finally completely disbanded in 1987.
The former Kowloon City Walled City has undergone a demolition and transformation. Today, it is still full of dense buildings, which looks like an old town. Because it often appears in Hong Kong dramas, it has now become a sightseeing punching place that some tourists must go to sweep the streets.
