Speaking of gangsters, the most resonant after the eighties is "Ancient Puzzle Boy", when the post-eighties were in their youth, easy to be touched by the heavy love and righteousness of the hot-blooded youth inside, they tattooed dragons or other patterns on their chests or arms, look handsome and dashing, but ignore the gangsters in the fight and kill, drug production, drug trafficking, arms trafficking and other underground activities.
Al Qaeda leader bin Laden went around creating terrorist attacks, which made people feel frightened. The United States still believes that 9/11 was due to him. However, the gangs are not all evil, and there is such a "chivalrous" gang that has left a strong mark in the history of our country.
Before the Hongmen were born into the Heaven and Earth Society, Sun Yat-sen was once the third in command
Hongmen is first believed to have been established in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, originating from "HanLiu", and later vigorously developed by Chen Jinnan under the general system of Dongning in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and then transformed into "Hongmen".
There are two theories about the name of Hongmen: one is that Hongmen is Hanmen, and the Hongzi characters are all derived from the traditional Characters of Han,"Han", and the Ming Dynasty government was occupied by the Manchus to establish the Qing Dynasty, that is, the Han lost the land of the Central Plains, and "Han" went to "Middle-earth" to become Hong. Another theory is that the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was named Hongwu and named after this Hong.
This organization is called the Heaven and Earth Society externally, and hongmen on the inside. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying that "red flowers and green leaves and white lotus roots, the three religions were originally one", that is, Hongmen, Qingbang and White Lotus Sect. Among them, the slogan of the Qing Gang is "For the Heavenly Path", while Hongmen advocates anti-Qing restoration and love for the country.
It is worth mentioning that Sun Yat-sen also saw the influence of Hongmen on overseas Chinese in the Americas and prepared to go to the Americas to publicize the revolution, so under the introduction of his uncle and Hongmen's predecessors, he resolutely joined the Honolulu ZhigongTang. He became the third in command of Hongmen, in charge of law enforcement, and was named "Hong Stick".
Hongmen Zhigongtang "big guy" - Situ Meitang
Situ Meitang experienced the loss of his father and dropped out of school in his childhood, and later his mother borrowed 50 yuan of dragon silver, and he took a ship to the United States and began a new life. In 1885, he joined the Hongmen Zhigong Church in San Francisco. At that time, the Hongmen Zhigongtang was a non-governmental association organization of the lower-class masses of overseas Chinese in North America, and it was the largest, and the banner at that time was still "anti-Qing and restoration", but there was more of a creed of "loyalty and righteousness, unity and mutual assistance".
Since its inception, this overseas organization of Hongmen has adhered to the purpose of loving the country, the nation, and resisting foreign aggression. In 1904, Sun Yat-sen came to the United States to meet situ Meitang, probably under the influence of Sun Yat-sen, Situ Meitang established the "Anliang General Hall" the following year, and Franklin Roosevelt, later the president of the United States, was his legal adviser.
It should be known that 90% of the local overseas Chinese have joined the Hongmen Zhigongtang, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Situ Meitang led the Hongmen overseas Chinese in the United States to donate to the motherland and established the "New York All Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association", which raised a total of 14 million US dollars in the eight-year War of Resistance, and the Anliangtang where he was located raised up to 3.3 million US dollars.
Therefore, overseas Chinese have made the greatest contribution to the revolution of the motherland, and these overseas Chinese are also because of the influence of Hongmen. As a Chinese with national integrity, he refused to be the chairman of the maintenance of Japan, and he also rejected Chiang Kai-shek, focusing on the reconstruction of the motherland's economy. When the founding of New China was founded, he participated in the founding ceremony, died of illness in 1955, and his body was buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, with a total of more than 700 people attending the ceremony, such a solemn funeral is rare after liberation.
Good and evil are not in the facts themselves, but in the human heart
Compared with the grand ceremony of Situ Meitang in Babaoshan, China, the funeral of his heir Lin Shen in the United States can be described as quite sensational. Why is that? Pu Songling wrote in "Liaozhai Zhiyi": "Although there is a heart for good, although good is not rewarded, no heart is evil, although evil is not punished", good and evil are not in the facts themselves, but in the human heart.
Lin Shen inherited and carried forward the Hongmen purpose of Situ Meitang very well: love the country, love the nation, and be loyal and righteous. So when Lin Shen died in 1992, gangs from all over the world came to pay his funeral, including the Russian Tomahawk, the Bamboo Gang, the Italian Ku Klux Klan, the Japanese Yakuza and hongmen insiders, with a huge team of more than 90,000 people.
This move instantly aroused the high alarm of the United States, and had to dispatch riot police to maintain order, knowing how dangerous it was for so many gang members to gather together, so the United States arranged 200,000 police officers around the periphery just in case. Perhaps with respect for the deceased, the funeral went very smoothly, without anyone having any conflict.
