In the last century, Hong Kong's ancient puzzle boy culture prevailed, and the gangsters in the gangster movies have become the idols that people envy, but after all, they are gangsters, not recognized by the mainstream society, although it seems to be prestigious, but there is no political status, but today we want to talk about this person, he is the world's second largest gangster who stood on the top of Tiananmen Square and participated in the founding ceremony! He is Mr. Situ Meitang, a famous overseas Chinese leader in the United States, the founder of the China Zhi Gong Party, the American Hongmen gangster, and the famous patriot.
Situ Meitang (1868-1955), the character Ji Zan, the original name envy. Born on April 3, 1868 in Chikan Zhonggu Township, Kaiping County, Guangdong Province. In March 1882, he went to the United States to earn a living and joined the "Hongmen Zhigongtang". Before Franklin D. Roosevelt became president, he served as legal adviser to the church. In 1904, Sun Yat-sen went to the United States for an event, and the two established a deep friendship. Subsequently, Situ Meitang launched several fundraising campaigns to support the domestic revolution. In order to support the anti-Japanese resistance, Situ Meitang initiated the establishment of the "New York Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association". In 1942, he made a special trip to various countries in South America to publicize the motherland's War of Resistance to overseas Chinese. In 1948, Situ Meitang publicly declared his support for the Chinese Communist Party and the idea of convening a new political consultative conference and forming a people's democratic government. In 1955, Mr. Szeto Meitang died of cerebral hemorrhage at the age of eighty-seven.

Throughout the life of Mr. Situ Meitang, his life before the age of thirty-eight can be described as very unfortunate, and in 1873 (at the age of 6), he lost his father. Enrolled in a private school. In 1877 (at the age of 10), he dropped out of school. Worked as a handyman in a small shop in Xinhui County. In 1880 (at the age of 13), his mother borrowed 50 yuan of dragon silver and took a ship to the United States to make a living. Worked as a cook at the "Hoshin Lou" restaurant in San Francisco. In 1885 (at the age of 18), he took the oath of worship and joined the Hongmen Zhigong Church in San Francisco. In 1886 (at the age of 19), he was imprisoned for ten months in hard labor because of injuries to a hooligan who ate "Overlord Meal". After being released from prison, he managed the children for an overseas Chinese family. In 1894 (at the age of 27), he worked as a cook on the American warship "Paul Mill". He traveled with the ship to South America and some countries in Western Europe. In the winter of 1894, a separate system was established in the Zhigong Hall in Boston, USA, and an anliang hall was organized, under the banner of "hoeing the strong to help the weak, eliminating violence and anliang". An Liang Tang soon became a strong group under the Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang, and eventually developed to have An Liang Tang in 31 cities across the United States, with a huge scale and more than 20,000 members. In 1898 (at the age of 31), he resigned with several Chinese seafarers and returned to Boston, pushing carts along the street to sell fruits, vegetables and meat for a living. In 1904 (at the age of 37), in the autumn, he met with Sun Yat-sen.

It is reasonable to say that Mr. Situ Meitang was born in the turbulent era at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and even more because of the turmoil of life, he had to leave his hometown to make a living in a foreign land, and he should have complained about the motherland, but Mr. Situ Meitang ran back and forth at the age of sixty-four for the victory of the motherland's War of Resistance, worked hard and ran, and raised funds to support the motherland's War of Resistance, which can be described as a patriotic model for overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, and it is also a model for our young people to learn.
The reason why Xiaobian knew and went to know Mr. Situ Meitang was also because of his identity as a gangster, but after understanding, Xiaobian deeply respected Mr. Situ's behavior. Dry to say that it is useless, The editor gives an example of a figure, Mr. Situ Meitang since the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance in 1937, at the age of seventy-one, he has raised more than 14 million US dollars, and he himself is one of the seventeen overseas Chinese in New York with the largest number of individual donations. Moreover, in the face of the hostile forces, Mr. Situ was even more righteous to the nation, and his iron backbone proudly came to the world.
Mr. Situ Meitang and Chairman Mao
In the winter of 1941, he returned to China and was hired as a senator of overseas Chinese in the Chinese National SuffrageTte. While passing through Hong Kong, Yazaki, the head of the Japanese special high-tech department, understood the details of Situ Meitang and sent someone to summon him to the secret service to threaten and induce him to serve as the chairman of the maintenance committee, in an attempt to use him to organize the Hong Kong gang and assist the Japanese army in "strengthening law and order." At that time, Mr. Situ Meitang was 75 years old, but he showed a high degree of national integrity. He said to Yazaki, "I'm over the age of old, and I don't want to carry a black cauldron before I go into the ground, like a virgin woman with a white head and a half life." So I decided not to maintain the president. Tegaoke wanted to kill this stubborn old man, but because of the great power of the Hong Kong gang, he did not dare to rush into action, so he had to swallow his anger and let him go. With the help of Brother Hongmen, Situ Meitang ventured out of Hong Kong in disguise and smuggled himself to the mainland.
After arriving in Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek and his wife paid great respect to him, and when they came, they were greeted, and when they went out, they personally helped him to the door and promised him the post of member of the State Government. At this time, Situ, however, witnessed the corruption of the Kuomintang and the plight of the people in the rear areas, and was extremely disappointed in the Kuomintang, so he refused to join the Kuomintang and refused to hold an official position.
In 1947, in Nanjing and Shanghai, Situ Meitang refused to be a deputy to the National Congress, and Du Yuesheng intimidated Jiang: "Jiang told you to be a person, you must be, he is not a person to be troubled." Situ Meitang waved his staff and shot up the case, shouting: "I Situ Meitang is not improper, tell Jiang someone, Situ Meitang is not easy to mess with!" "The sound cracked the golden stone, and many years later, it can still be heard.
It can be seen that Mr. Situ is proud of the motherland and the nation, and he prefers not to bend.
In 1955, the 87-year-old Mr. Situ Meitang drove the crane west due to cerebral hemorrhage, and Premier Zhou personally presided over the public sacrifice meeting, which was attended by more than 700 people, which was rare after the liberation of such a standard public sacrifice ceremony. After the ceremony, Mr. Situ Meitang was buried in Babao Mountain, which can be called the highest praise for Mr. Situ Meitang's lifelong journey to the country.
