He was the first generation of thieves, the predecessor of Ye Jihuan, Zhang Ziqiang and others, and was known as the head of the "Ten Great Kou" in that year.
He did all kinds of evil deeds, acted ferociously, and regarded human life as a straw, and after he was imprisoned at the age of 25, his deeds were made into a movie.
He is the "Sand Pear Boy" of the "Big Circle Gang", Zhang Shixiong.
Speaking of the Hong Kong Thief King, everyone may think of Yip Ji Huan, Zhang Ziqiang and Ji Bingxiong. But in fact, the name of the first thief king since the opening of Hong Kong is owned by Zhang Shixiong, nicknamed "Sha Li Tsai".
Born in 1959 and nicknamed "Sha Li Tsai", Zhang Shixiong committed a lot of serious crimes in Hong Kong, not only known as the "King of Thieves", but also recognized as the first of the "Ten Great Kou".
In the 1980s, Zhang Shixiong smuggled himself into Hong Kong with the "slender" Huang Zhiming and Huang Zhijian brothers and others, and became a member of the "Big Circle Gang", specializing in the "big tea and rice" business.
"Big Circle Gang" has been heard in many gangster movies, but compared with well-known gang societies such as "New Ngee Ann", "14K", "Heshenghe", etc., "Big Circle Gang" is actually not a community.
Since the 1930s, due to unstable factors such as war, the mainland has set off a long wave of "fleeing from hong Kong."
At first, many rich and powerful people came to take root, such as Du Yuesheng, a big hooligan in Shanghai, who fled to Hong Kong for refuge. Later, those who had money and those who did not have money ran to Hong Kong, after all, as far as the living environment at that time was concerned, Hong Kong was relatively stable.
And in those days, hong Kong was free to come and go, and based on this condition, it led to an increasing influx of refugees, and it was not until 1974 that restrictions began to be imposed.
Because there were too many refugees, which caused a lot of pressure, in the years from November 1974 to October 1980, Hong Kong and Britain implemented a "barrier policy" for these "refugees".
"Base" is actually the meaning of "base" in the baseball field, as long as the player is on base in time, it will not be out. The same is true of this "fortification policy", where stowaways can survive if they are not caught at the border and can successfully run to the city center; if they are caught at the border, they will be repatriated.
Most of the people who stayed behind would find a job and make a living, such as working as a meat and vegetable vendor in Mong Kok and other places. However, there are also some people who are in a hurry to get rich, have an out-of-style style, and embark on the road of crime.
This part of the people come from all over the world, and often dozens or even a dozen people form a group and go around doing evil. This part of the people who have done many evil deeds from the mainland to Hong Kong are collectively known locally as "big circle boys" and "big circle gangs".
Although the "Big Circle Gang" has a loose personnel organization, compared with the "Heshenghe", "New Ngee Ann", "14K" and other large societies with tens of thousands of people at every turn, they do much more fiercely than these clubs.
Many "big circles" will come to Hong Kong to make a living, most of them are poor in the mainland and have no food to eat, perhaps because of this, whenever the "big circle boys" fight with people, they often erupt into a fierce force and hard steel with their opponents, after all, they are from poor families, they can't win or survive, and there is still a glimmer of life when they win.
The "big circle gang" can be described as less than more, frightening, and the word "barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes" is more suitable.
The "big tea rice" in Cantonese originally refers to the poor people's food on the banquet, because the usual day is not to eat the banquet, there are good things will be put on the wine, so "big tea rice" is often used to describe the oil and water rich things.
Later, "rich oil and water" was extended to the meaning of "making a big deal", and slowly it became black words and became synonymous with criminal activities such as "robbery and extortion".
"Sha Li Zai" Zhang Shixiong and his gang, Zhang Shixiong is the best at planning the strategy, each action is not blind, he will first step on the point and then make a plan, each action will have multiple sets of programs as a support, and even can be specific to which time car is in what place, which time people are in what place, what kind of situation is encountered, and which set of planning plans to deal with, he has arrangements.
It is true: "Hooligans are not terrible, they are afraid that hooligans have culture."
And Zhang Shixiong can be called the "Thief King", and his partner "Slender" Huang Zhiming is also inseparable. Huang Zhiming is a short man of only one meter and six meters, and because of his short stature, he is called "thin" (small man), but he is an important "arsenal" in Zhang Shixiong's gang.
He had channels to bring in the "Black Star", and he also knew how to modify, and even made his own "peanut rice", which made Asir at that time a headache. In just two years from 1980 to 1981, he has been involved in more than a dozen cases and has exchanged fire with Asir in the streets.
You know, at that time, the jianghu fire was at most a cold weapon such as beef knives and tridents, and Zhang Shixiong's gang with the "black star" was really opened.
On May 6, 1982, 23-year-old Zhang Shixiong and Huang Zhiming and a group of people each holding a "black star" rushed into Yau Ma Tei Canton Road, robbed the "Rongxing Xiang Jade" market, and snatched jewelry and jade worth 2.2 million yuan.
On October 8 of the same year, Zhang Shixiong and his gang once again launched an operation armed with the "Black Star" and rushed into the "Tserry Shwe Lin Gold Line" at the New World Center in Tsim Sha Tsui and plundered 1.1 million gold.
You know, the millions of that year was not an order of magnitude from now, and it was possible to buy a lot of real estate in Hong Kong, let alone take it back to the mainland, ordinary people are already enough to eat for a lifetime.
According to the line in the movie, it should be: "After doing this time, I will close it", but Zhang Shixiong did not mean to close it, and shot it again.
On June 27, 1983, Cheung Se-hung, who had disappeared for more than half a year, reappeared and looted the "Jing Fu Jewelry Gold Shop" in the mall of the Miramar Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui and stole 1.64 million gold and silver jewelry. The terrible thing is that in this operation, he fired four "peanut rice", two of which were used to scare people, and the other two entered the heads of Indian and Pakistani security guards, and reported to Yama Wangye on the spot.
Fortunately, this time, Asir was very well prepared, and with lightning speed, he solved the case within a week.
In June 1984, the invincible Zhang Shixiong was convicted of manslaughter and robbery and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Although he has been released from prison so far, the 25-year-old who is in his youth is locked up, and when he comes out, he is already a 40-year-old middle-aged man, what is the meaning of such a life.
The core figure, Huang Zhiming, was also imprisoned at the time, where he recognized Ji Bingxiong, who was arrested for pickpocketing.
Ji Bingxiong worshiped under Huang Zhiming's door in prison, and obeyed Huang Zhiming's master, and the jianghu called his master and apprentice "double ghost pat door".
Ji Bingxiong became another "thief king" in the later period. Of course, doing this line of harm, no one has a good ending, Huang Zhiming still did not repent after he was released from prison, in the july 30, 2002 search for Ji Bingxiong, Huang Zhiming was arrested again, and this life is also the end
At that time, it was quite sensational, and the famous director Mak Dangxiong also took the opportunity to rub the heat, and a year after Zhang Shixiong's arrest, "Provincial Hong Kong Flag Soldier" was released, and the "Dadong" played by Lin Wei in the film was an allusion to Zhang Shixiong, and Mai Dangxiong also won many awards for this film.
In the first movie, in addition to the starring Lin Wei, in order to make the movie look more realistic, the other supporting characters are really people in the "Big Circle Gang", although the acting skills are not good, but they are very real, and they are really well-intentioned.
Due to the excellent reputation of the movie, this series has been filmed before and after 4 films, interested friends can watch Ha.
