Du Yuesheng went from being a small gangster in the countryside of Pudong to becoming the most famous social celebrity in shanghai in the Republic of China, a legend in his life, and his influence was so great that at the most critical time of the Liberation War, both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party tried their best to win his return to Shanghai to support and stand for themselves... Even the great man commented on him: "He has done six words in his life: he has the ability, but he has no temper." ”
Of course, one of the most amazing things about the legend of his body is that he is a rogue, but he can get the heartfelt friendship of a group of proud and proud Republic of China literati, which is particularly rare.
We may wish to go through his circle of literati circles and see what gentlemen's friends he has?
Why did Zhang Taiyan, who despised Du Yuesheng, change his view?
Zhang Taiyan, together with Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, is known as the "Three Masters of Xinhai", is the hero of the establishment of the Republic of China, such a figure in Shanghai can be described as 'Xiangrui', coupled with the literati Qinggao, Zhang Taiyan is prejudiced against Du Yuesheng, who started a family in tobacco soil, believing that this is a person who has no good or bad in his heart.
However, he soon had to ask for the door of the "bad guy" Du Yuesheng. When his nephew had a dispute with people in the Shanghai Concession and "unevenly", Zhang Taiyan, who was rich in five cars and full of economy, was uneven, and the reason was that he was famous and powerless, and he had to write a letter asking the "bad guy" Du Yuesheng to mediate from it.
The so-called 'arbitrary and unreasonable fist is the reason', the settlement of litigation disputes is exactly what Du Yuesheng, a rogue and ruthless person, is best at it, and soon, he received the letter, and he was suffering from how to enhance his reputation.
However, what Zhang Taiyan did not expect was that Du Yuesheng would personally come to him to explain the beginning and end of the matter, and the rumored fierce and evil Du Yuesheng was unexpectedly polite and polite, and his words and deeds were not like the people in the gang, but like a cultural person with poetry books in his belly. What surprised Zhang Taiyan even more was that he had heard that Du Yuesheng had not read since he was poor since childhood, and he did not expect to find that he was still a self-taught and had already had real talents and practical learning.
What made him sigh by default was that after Du Yuesheng left, he found that Du Yuesheng also secretly pressed a silver ticket under the teacup, it turned out that Du Yuesheng was seeing Zhang Taiyan's life was embarrassing, and he knew that Zhang Taiyan had always been arrogant and arrogant, and if he gave it in person, he would not accept it, so he used this method of 'moisturizing and silent' to help one or two.
Since then, the two have not broken off contact, Du Yuesheng often visited the door, booed Han and asked for warmth, and gradually admired each other, and even became a friend of Mo Rebellion, and even Du Yuesheng's name Du Yong, the word Yuesheng, or Zhang Taiyan gave it.
Huang Yanpei, Zhang Shizhao and Du Yuesheng are also friends of Mo Rebellion
In addition to Zhang Taiyan, Huang Yanpei, Zhang Shizhao and other literati who were famous in the Republic of China were also Du Yuesheng's friends.
He helped Huang Yanpei and called for the salvation of the country and the fight against Japan
Huang Yanpei was a well-known educator, who served as the minister of light industry in New China, the vice premier of the State Council, and had a famous theory of cyclical laws with Chairman Mao Zedong in Yan'an. Speaking of which, the literati are arrogant and arrogant, and he also has prejudices against Du Yuesheng, thinking that this is a bad and dirty gang person, but what he did not expect was that when the country came, many self-proclaimed readers who claimed to die of integrity became Japanese running dogs, and it was precisely this hooligan who repeatedly and twice openly rejected the Japanese's solicitation of money and fame, and also established the Shanghai Support Association from all walks of life in the Battle of Songhu, and raised more than 1.5 million yuan in donations with his huge appeal in just one month, as well as 75 million yuan of national debt for national salvation. He made a great contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In addition, after the liberation of Shanghai during the Liberation War, Huang Yanpei, as a pro-communist member, was persecuted by secret agents, and Du Yuesheng immediately sent his disciples to directly help Huang Yanpei, who had little intersection, to escape, only because he believed that Huang Yanpei, a celebrity with great righteousness in his heart, should not die in the assassination of secret agents.
There is no doubt that Du Yuesheng's act of "not being informal but having great righteousness" is quite "bad with conscience and bad two-sidedness", and successfully won the favor of "non-corrupt Confucian" Huang Yanpei.
Fund Zhang Shizhao to save cultural celebrities
Another celebrity that Du Yuesheng befriended was Zhang Shizhao. Zhang Shizhao was a "patriarch of the Three Dynasties", who served as the chief of justice and education of the Beiyang government, a national suffragist of the Nanjing government, and later became a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in New China. However, he has not always had a smooth sailing, and when he fell, he worked as a lawyer in Shanghai to make a living by taking cases. When there is a case, there are three meals a day, when there is no case, it is a full meal to support a day, until the End of that year, the Spring Festival is approaching, Du Yuesheng invited him to the restaurant to eat, when the wine and dinner are full, Du Yuesheng said to him: "Forgive Du For being abrupt, I think that a person of insight like Mr. Zhang who has a big heart to take the case for his livelihood is not big or small? Why not strive to serve the country, use what you have learned to help the nation, and help the country in danger? ”
At that time, Zhang Shizhao took a sip of wine, his face was full of bitterness, and replied: "Zhang Mou is now even difficult to maintain his livelihood, he can't support himself, where is the ambition to help the poor and the poor?" ”
What is unexpected is that Du Yuesheng quickly avoided this topic, but after the banquet was dispersed, Zhang Shizhao had just returned home, and the people sent by Du Yuesheng arrived and sent a sum of money, saying that Du Yuesheng asked Mr. Zhang to teach the tuition fee that was doubtful in his heart, which made Zhang Shizhao stunned and moved. What was even more unexpected was that after that, Du Yuesheng would send money to Zhang Shizhao every month for various reasons, such as the tuition fee for asking Zhang Shizhao to teach the study, the fee for asking Zhang Shizhao to draft a letter, the festival fee for Zhang Shizhao, the lecture fee for asking Zhang Shizhao to give a lecture, etc. The cost was not high, but it was enough for Zhang Shizhao not to worry about his livelihood.
Such a 'superfluous move' is like Du Yuesheng to Zhang Taiyan and other literati, in order not to turn the subsidy into charity and pity, taking into account Zhang Shizhao's self-esteem, and also helping him to enter the school, so that Zhang Shizhao can continue to study and scholarship, laying a material foundation for contributing to the national culture.
