The protagonist in today's story is such a person, he is known as "China's first gangster boss", in that turbulent era, he turned his hand for the clouds to cover his hands for the rain, even the president of the United States is willing to be his little brother, Du Yuesheng is even more afraid to move him, this person was directly buried in Babaoshan after death, he is Situ Meitang, today we will talk about his legendary life.
In 1868, a baby boy fell to the ground in a poor family in Chikan Zhonggu Township, Kaiping City, Guangdong Province, and his parents named him Situ Xianyi (later renamed Situ Meitang), which is a very beautiful name. However, Heaven did not pity this poor family, and when Situ Meitang was 5 years old, his father died, and the mother worked hard to support the whole family and provide for her son to study.
Due to long-term malnutrition, Situ Meitang is very thin, from childhood is the object of bullying, Situ Meitang is not willing, he wants to resist, but he can not beat each other, so when he is a little older, he secretly learns martial arts, the body is more and more solid, in order to reduce the pressure of his mother, only 9 years old he worked as a handyman in a small shop, mother and son snuggled up to each other, spending difficult years.
In 1880, it was the time when it was popular to go abroad to work, Situ Meitang was naturally not willing to be a handyman in the store for a lifetime, so he told his mother that he wanted to go abroad to break in, and his mother gritted his teeth, borrowed 50 yuan of dragon silver, and sent his son abroad, I have to say that having such a mother is a great fortune for Situ Meitang, and Situ Meitang is also determined to let his mother live a good life!
However, the dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel, where is the "American Dream" so easy to achieve? Americans are very xenophobic, Situ Meitang had a hard time finding a job in a Chinese restaurant, but he was often looking for stubble by local hooligans, looking at the restaurant that was smashed by American assholes, Situ Meitang was no longer willing to endure, he used his own kung fu to teach this group of people fiercely, and as a result, the American police did not look for those hooligans, but looked for Situ Meitang's trouble.
At this time, he finally realized that there was no way out for the Chinese in the United States, and in 1885, the 17-year-old Situ Meitang officially joined the Hongmen ZhigongTang in San Francisco (the largest non-governmental association organization of the lower masses of overseas Chinese in the United States) and became a member of the Hongmen, where the Chinese huddled together for warmth, and Situ Meitang's life finally got better.
3 years later, Situ Meitang's restaurant came again an American hooligan, wanted to eat the overlord meal, Situ Meitang did not say a word, he fought with him, who knew that the other party was a strong outsider, Situ Meitang a few punches down, he died. The US police naturally wanted to find trouble for Situ Meitang, but with the efforts of many overseas Chinese and Hongmen people, Situ Meitang was finally sentenced to only 10 months, and at the same time, Situ Meitang was also famous in the circle because of this incident, and many people regarded him as a hero.
After his release from prison, Situ Meitang found a new job on a warship, and it was this experience that indirectly changed his life, he followed the warship, went to South America, Western European countries, greatly broadened his horizons, and he once again realized that the Chinese must unite and say no to violence in order to gain a foothold in the United States!
In the winter of 1894, Situ Meitang returned to the United States and organized the "An liangtang", the slogan is "hoe the strong to help the weak, eliminate violence and anliang", soon, countless Chinese in the United States joined his team, in just a few years, An liangtang has become the strongest group under The Hongmen, with more than 20,000 members, all over 31 cities in the United States!
Situ Meitang was a far-sighted man, he knew that it was useless to have many people, and he knew himself and knew the other, so he hired a professional lawyer to serve as the legal counsel of An Liang Tang, and this legal adviser, named Franklin Roosevelt. He had great respect for the gangster, and even called him "uncle".
Although he has been in the United States for many years, but Situ Meitang has never forgotten his motherland, in 1904, Dr. Sun Yat-sen went to the United States as "Hongmen Big Brother" to carry out revolutionary activities, Situ Meitang immediately met with him, and expressed his willingness to fully support him, and then the outbreak of the War of Resistance, Situ Meitang even mobilized overseas Chinese from all over the world to raise salaries together, and finally raised 3.3 million US dollars to support the country!
In 1941, the 73-year-old Situ Meitang decided to return to China, and as a result, the Matter was known to the Japanese, stopped him, and threatened to induce, but in the face of the Japanese, Mr. Situ Meitang was not afraid at all, sternly refused, the Japanese were furious, but because of Situ Meitang's identity, they did not dare to do anything to him, so they put him under house arrest, fortunately, the patriots jointly intervened and successfully rescued mr. Lao.
After being rescued, the old gentleman immediately came to Chongqing without stopping to make contact with the National Government, and as a result, after seeing the greed and corruption of the National Government, the old man was very disappointed, so he refused the "warm invitation" of the old Chiang, and the old Man could not, so he let the domestic gangster boss Du Yuesheng come out to persuade Situ Meitang, but the old man did not give Du Yuesheng face at all, and still refused.
Du Yuesheng was in a hurry, he threatened the old man, and situ Meitang, who saw more winds and waves, was not afraid at all, and he even pointed at Du Yuesheng's nose and angrily rebuked: "Whether it is him or my Situ Meitang, you can't afford to be a young man, go back, I won't be!" ”
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Mr. Lao organized the members to reorganize the Hongmen Zhigongtang into the overseas Chinese political party "China Hongmen Zhigong Party" and served as the chairman of the national headquarters; later, after the founding of New China, Mr. Lao also specially rushed back to participate in the First Chinese Political Consultative Conference and the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, and settled in Beijing from then on.
