I believe that when Du Yuesheng is mentioned, the first thing that everyone can think of must be the powerful force he showed when he was in Shanghai, some people said that he was the first gang leader in China, and the brilliant deeds he created in the Green Gang at that time made many people feel frightened. In addition, some people commented that he was more tyrannical, mainly because his hands, like many of the higher-ranking people before him, were stained with blood. From our description above, you may think that he must be an evil person, but in fact, the grand memorial scene after his death makes us feel his unique charm. So what kind of scene shocked us so much?
Judging from the news reports:
On the day of his funeral, the major newspapers in Hong Kong reported on him, not only opening up a special magazine, but even a huge supplement issued by the Funeral Committee, which also allowed us to see how much his death was, for the whole of Hong Kong, how shocking, and the newspaper also specially appointed reporters to interview and shoot various features. This kind of scene, even the most popular star at the moment, may not be able to reach this level, and he is relying on his influence to have so many people paying attention, which shows that his power is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Judging from the number of funerals:
Among the honor guards who followed the funeral at that time were some United Chambers of Commerce, Hong Kong compatriots and other colleagues, and 24 workers in addition to the Taoist priests and nuns who practiced various practices, these people themselves occupied a relatively grand scene. In addition to these, there are 53 private cars for the funeral, of which 7 are wives and children related to the birth, and the number of other funeral relatives and friends is about 1,000 people, these people are arranged in pairs, presumably from the beginning to the end of the 30 minutes can not be fully covered, so such a grand scene, but also many people are amazed.
From the perspective of funeral expenses:
Originally, the burial of an ordinary person did not need to spend too much money, but as a person with such a high status and power, how could his funeral be less than a row of noodles, so through some data investigation, it was found that the total cost of his funeral ceremony totaled 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was actually compared with his previous extravagance and waste, but this amount is already astronomical for ordinary people. Therefore, this seemingly extravagant and wasteful economic expenditure can reflect the accumulation of wealth that a person has, of course, it can also be seen from the side how powerful his power is, so that he can have such a large row at the moment of death.
From the perspective of participants:
In the funeral procession, in addition to the relatives and friends of the Du Yuesheng family with about 1,000 people, other people also accounted for more than 300 people, and among these people, in addition to some members and friends who had a close relationship with him before his death, there were also several silver-haired elderly people, who were relatively conspicuous in the crowd, and some people even came to this person's funeral with their families. Some of them are also relatively famous, such as Xu Shiying and Hong Lanyou and Tao Baichuan. Together, these people simply gathered the largest row of local figures, and these figures were able to get together only because of what Du Yuesheng did before he was born.
From the final landing:
With so many people attending his funeral, it was natural to be able to see his status. However, in addition, after his coffin landed, the number of knots and evenings given by light reached almost 200, and the number of flower baskets and wreaths was innumerable. This kind of pomp and circumstance and the funeral of ancient emperors have a fight, but at that time, the emperor's funeral was gold and silver jewelry, and his funeral was relatively simple, but these numbers and piles of connections on the ground can also let us see how beautiful his life is. In addition, this kind of larger scene also spread among the governments, especially some senior government officials, who also participated in it and sent him the last decent.
In fact, the reason why Du Yuesheng was able to have such a pomp and circumstance, in addition to his own sphere of influence, was more because he was the most popular figure in Shanghai Beach. As such a figure, regardless of his merits and demerits, his fall is a very epoch-making existence for the whole of Hong Kong and Taiwan and Shanghai Beach, especially his life looks more like a miniature version of the old Shanghai Beach, so we can also see how beautiful his life is.
However, a person from birth to death is an inevitable process to go through, no matter how beautiful his life is, these things behind him are often handled by posterity, so he likes to be lively, and he cannot perceive how shocking the impact he brings to others in this process, but we can also see from these funeral details how large his sphere of influence is.
