"Kong Congzi Juwei" records: "There is this father who has this son, and humanity is always the same." "Generally speaking, the father is the example of the son, and he is also the first teacher of the son, and the father's words and deeds will more or less affect the son." In addition, there is a saying in China that "the son inherits the father's business", and the "world" played down by Lao Tzu is often inherited by the son. However, this sentence does not apply to du Yuesheng, the big man of the Green Gang, and his son Du Weishan, how to deal with the specific situation, please continue to look down.
Du Yuesheng was originally a primary school apprentice in the fruit shop, but with his unique cleverness, he not only successfully entered the Golden Rong Mansion, but also climbed the "towering tree" of Golden Rong. In just a few years, Du Yuesheng gained the trust of Jin Rong and won the right to operate the French Concession casino "Gongxing Club". In this process, Du Yuesheng also slowly developed his own forces, colluding with warlords and selling opium, as long as it was a profitable business, he would almost always get involved.
In July 1925, Du Yuesheng established the "Sanxin Company", which monopolized the opium supply chain in the French Concession. Although Li Yuanhong's secretary general made a couplet praising Du Yuesheng - three thousand guests under the Chunshen Gate, five feet south of Du Cheng, touted him as a "contemporary Chunshen Jun", Du Yuesheng's behavior still could not be washed away. On the evening of April 11, 1927, Du Yuesheng designed to bury Wang Shouhua, the leader of the Shanghai workers' movement, and then gathered hooligans to attack the workers' pickets, openly opposing the masses of the people.
Although Du Yuesheng still did a few good deeds during his tenure as vice president of the Red Cross Society of China, his merits and faults could not be offset, and he still could not take off the hat of the Green Gang leader. However, there is an old Chinese saying that "the father repays the debt of the son", but Du Yuesheng's son has been concerned about the motherland all his life and has truly contributed to the country. Du Weishan, du Yuesheng's seventh son and youngest son, his mother Yao Yulan is Du Yuesheng's fourth aunt, Peking Opera actress.
In 1949, when Du Yuesheng was avoiding disaster in Hong Kong, he took the two of them with him. Two years later, du Yuesheng died, and Yao Yulan took her son and husband's coffin by boat to Baodao and settled there ever since. Du Weishan is different from Du Yuesheng, he does not have the temperament of mixing society, nor is he keen on inflammatory, and he looks like an old scholar at a young age. After graduating from high school, Du Weishan went to Australia to study geology, and from his junior year, he worked hard and found a job in a silver mine.
Later, Du became a geologist for an oil company and settled in Vancouver, Canada. Despite this, Du Weishan never gave up his original nationality and often returned to China to visit. Over the years, Du Weishan developed a hobby, that is, collecting ancient coins. When Du Weishan returned to Shanghai in 1991, he donated all 367 Sassanid gold coins that he had treasured for many years to the state.
Founded in 224 and destroyed in 651, the Sassanid Empire reached its peak in 5.6 million square kilometers, including present-day Iran, Afghanistan, Syria and other regions. However, the main currency of the Sassanid Dynasty was not gold coins, but copper coins and silver coins, and it is conceivable how precious the 367 gold coins brought by Du Weishan were. Since then, Du Weishan has donated more than a thousand gold coins, plus the previous one, a total of 2128 pieces, worth more than 1.8 billion yuan, unlike his father Du Yuesheng, he is the person who really cares about the motherland.
