Speaking of Du Yuesheng, you will think of two other people of his era, Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, who were the leaders of the gang leaders in shanghai beach in old China, known as the three tycoons of Shanghai. However, the road taken by the three people in the end was not exactly the same, and Jin Rong did not run after the liberation of Shanghai, but stayed, became an ordinary civilian overnight, honestly accepted the transformation, and finally got a good death.
Zhang Xiaolin became a traitor, surrendered to the Japanese, and was eventually killed by his bodyguard, Lin Huaibu. Du Yuesheng fled to Hong Kong, and finally died of illness in Hong Kong, and was buried in Xizhi Town, Taipei County, with the cemetery sitting southeast and facing northwest, always looking in the direction of Shanghai, remembering the glory he once had.
After Du Yuesheng's death, his cemetery was unattended for many years for various reasons, but later someone found that there was an unknown old man who had nothing to do with him and had any blood relatives to sweep his grave for three years, which was really touching. Later, someone found this old man, and the old man's words made people move, he said that the reason why he was willing to give Du Yuesheng a tomb in his old age was mainly because he admired Du Yuesheng's character.
Among the three tycoons of Shanghai Beach, there is a saying that Jin Rong is the most greedy, Zhang Xiaolin is the most ruthless, and Du Yuesheng is the most capable of being a person. Indeed, looking at Du Yuesheng's entire life, he was born in a chaotic world, but he had his own ideas, and he was not completely following the tide.
It is indeed difficult to put into words the evaluation of Du Yuesheng, who once booby-trapped and killed Wang Shouhua, a member of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions of the Communist Party of China, in the "counter-revolutionary coup d'état" on April 12, causing the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions to fall into a leaderless situation overnight, which is a stain that cannot be washed away from him.
However, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he rescued wounded soldiers, delivered supplies, helped the Eighth Route Army, and organized a team to fight Japan, which showed his righteous side. During the period when Shanghai was reduced to an isolated island, Du Yuesheng organized secret intelligence personnel and fought against the special high school of the Japanese army. He used his influence in the Shanghai gang to make the Japanese somewhat jealous of whatever they did in Shanghai.
After the September 18 incident, Du Yuesheng also protected Zhang Xueliang, and he spoke to the Shanghai gang, if Zhang Xueliang has a problem, I will definitely wipe out the Axe Gang in Shanghai. The Japanese special high school decided to carry out assassination operations against the disobedient Du Yuesheng several times, but they were all recognized by him in time.
Even in this difficult situation, Du Yuesheng did not shrink back, fully demonstrating the national integrity that a Chinese should have. At the same time, although Jin Rong did not surrender to the Japanese, he did not dare to openly confront the Japanese, but only vainly entrusted the snake. Zhang Xiaolin simply became a traitor, and only Du Yuesheng stood in front of the Japanese with dignity and did not flinch.
On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai, Jin Rong was reluctant to make a fortune and insisted on staying in Shanghai. Du Yuesheng, because he had killed an early leader, gave up his wealth and left Shanghai. However, his chivalrous style on the date of the War of Resistance Against Japan was still recognized by many people, and no one was perfect, after all, he had also done some things that were beneficial to the country and the nation.
Therefore, when he saw that his cemetery in Taipei had not been cleaned for many years, this nameless old man felt his great righteousness and would take the initiative to stand up and sweep the grave for him for three years, which was really touching. Du Yuesheng, who was buried in the underground, if he knew about it, he would be able to see it.
