There is an old Chinese saying that the road knows the horsepower from afar, and sees the hearts of the people for a long time, which means that the road is far away, so that you can know the strength of the horse. Only by experiencing more things can we know the sinister and evil of renren's hearts. There are some people who may come to you when you are rich, but they may become quiet and disappear when you lose power, which is not uncommon in the world. However, Presumably, Du Yuesheng in his later years can better appreciate it, after all, he was a former big man, and he ended up borrowing money from others. And none of the people who had been begging him were willing to lend him, except for one person.
Du Yuesheng, born in 1888, died before he was four years old. It can be said that Du Yuesheng grew up in loneliness and hardship in his childhood, presumably he experienced a lot of human feelings when he was young, but it is good to have a stepmother and uncle to take care of it. It was also in this kind of family that he began to be exposed to gangsters from an early age, and he joined the youth gang at the age of 14. He had worked under Jin Rong's men, but it didn't take long for him to make a mark, and Jin Rong trusted him very much. And he relied on his own means to independently get out of the Huang Mansion, and he did a very good job, and soon became one of the best figures.
From July 1925, after he established the Sanxin Company, he monopolized the shipment of opium in the French Concession. And his social status continued to rise, and gradually became the three shanghai tycoons who could be mentioned together with Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin. Looking at his eminent position, many military and political figures and cultural leaders will sell him some face, such as his ceremony held in June 1931. This was exactly the time when he held the inauguration ceremony of the family ceremony and the ceremony of "entering the shrine with the Lord", and in order to congratulate him, Chiang Kai-shek personally sent the plaque.
Shanghai's police commanders, mayors and other dignitaries have also given gifts, which shows their status. In Shanghai Beach in that era, he was also a prominent figure. When he founded Hengshe in 1932, all kinds of forces were involved, including the press, the film industry, the Shanghai Municipal Social Bureau, and so on. In fact, he also had a lot of controversy as a person, first of all, he was able to make a fortune in that era, mainly relying on opium. Compared with everyone, it is clear how harmful this thing is, and once it is touched, it is a disaster for a family.
Du Yuesheng's hands are innumerable, countless families are torn apart because of his business, and even the blood of revolutionaries. The big guys who can become the top in the chaotic world are all made of white bones. On the other hand, he does have a national righteousness, and this cannot be denied. From beginning to end, Du Yuesheng supported the Anti-Japanese Resistance, and also used his position to raise donations for the salvation of the country, and used his strength to support the War of Resistance in the front. As early as May 15, 1925, when the Japanese abused child laborers and shot workers, Du Yuesheng was also the first person to stand up.
Maybe he was motivated by profit and reputation, but he just stood up so that the Japanese could not suppress this matter. The next year, faced with the living problems of 100,000 workers, he also took out a lot of money to deal with the workers. Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he has always stood on the side of the Anti-Japanese War, and many people may say that he was also making a fortune during this period. Indeed, he earned a great deal of money by exchanging supplies with the occupied areas with his men, and for the people he oppressed, he was shot ten thousand times without resent.
However, the contributions he made could not be ignored, and many of the wealth he made were invested in the battlefield, and before the beginning of the War of Resistance alone, he organized and raised more than 1.5 million donations. During the war, he did not contribute less, and during the August 13 War of Resistance, he ordered the sinking of his own ship in order to cause the obstruction of the Yangtze River channel to stop the Japanese army. He also served as vice president of the Red Cross of China for many years, sending supplies to the rescue of wounded soldiers, and for these soldiers, he did not seem so hateful.
But apparently, he understood that the things he had done could not make the people easily forgive him. Therefore, after liberation, I had to choose to give up my years of business in Shanghai and go to Hong Kong. Du Yuesheng's era is over in the end, in Hong Kong, he has no power. The family had no job, and later they had to go to someone to borrow money. At first, someone may have lent it to him, but some people later saw that he was down, and they did not pay attention to him. Until the appearance of a person, this person was very generous, and when they met, they lost a check to Du Yuesheng. It is also said that within one and a half million, Mr. Du can use it casually, more than one and a half million, and it is enough to inform him. Who is this person, and why is he so generous to Du Yuesheng?
The man who borrowed Du Yuesheng's money was named Liu Hangchen, who was a famous industrialist in the Republic of China and the god of wealth of Liu Xiang, the king of Sichuan. He is also a half-official and half-businessman, and therefore, money is naturally available. Chuankang Bank and Chuanyan Bank are the doorways where he once made money, so why is he so good to Du Yuesheng? In fact, the reason is very simple, Liu Hangchen also had a depressed time in his early years, just in Shanghai. He also provoked Jin Rong, who was Du Yuesheng who helped him and did not ask for any reward.
When he did not deal with another Sichuan big man, it was also Du Yuesheng who sent someone to protect him, so the friendship between the two was still relatively deep. This time when Du Yuesheng fell, Liu Hangchen naturally would not sit idly by, although his situation was not very good at that time. Liu Hangchen later died of depression in Hong Kong because he did not know something clear and was abandoned. Although Du Yuesheng did not worry about food and clothing, he was seriously ill before going to Hong Kong, so he did not live for several years, and died on August 16, 1951.
