Detective Chinatown 3 once again brought the Japanese gangsters into the sight of Chinese audiences.
Japanese gangs used to be a force that influenced Japanese society, and gang organizations such as the Yamaguchi Group were even more famous around the world. Today, with the stagnation of Japan for 40 years, Japanese gangsters are no longer brave, but the legend of gangsters is still spread in the market.
Among the gangsters, his presence was particularly special — he wasn't Japanese, and he even joined the anti-Japanese army.
He is Zhao Chunshu.
Matsudo, a satellite city in Tokyo, Japan, is not well known.
Not far from Matsudo Skytrain Station, there is a dilapidated three-story building. The first and second floors are Korean missionary houses, and the third floor is a firm called "Box House".
Korean missionaries could not understand the main business of the firm, only to see men dressed in black in sunglasses every day, coming and going in the office. Tourists who accidentally break into this place do not notice anything unusual here.
But for the Japanese underworld, this is a "holy land" -
Zhao Chunshu is the head of this office, and his other identity is that of the second boss of the famous Japanese gangster Inagawa Kai.
The Inagawa Society was founded by the Japanese gangster Inagawa Holy City. After the end of World War II, in the withered and chaotic Japanese mainland, MacArthur, the Emperor of Japan, acquiesced to the development of gangster forces to maintain law and order in Japan. The gangs became a pole of Japan's military power.
Inagawa Holy City gathers foreign dead soldiers, organizes veterans to unload their armor, and relies on force to rise in the city well.
Zhao Chunshu is a foreign dead soldier surrounded by Inagawa.
Why is it called a dead man? In gangster fires, expats are often sent as pioneers. This also reflects the exclusivity of the Japanese nation.
Before becoming a triad, Zhao Chunshu was an anti-Japanese fighter.
In 1942, 16-year-old Zhao Chunshu joined the army to resist the Japanese, but unfortunately was captured by the Japanese army. Two years later, he was taken into custody in Tianjin. In 1945, Zhao Chunshu was sent by steamship to Yamaguchi Prefecture and was subsequently coerced into labor by the Japanese army.
In the mouths of North Korean laborers: Laborers live worse than dogs. This is not an exaggeration: at that time, Zhao Chunshu could only get two steamed buns a day, and in order to avoid starvation, he had to rummage through the garbage can for food. Heavy and dangerous labor was performed every day, and the slightest mistake was served by the Japanese army with sticks.
Fortunately, in 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered. Zhao Chunshu and his husband and partner were relieved, and they quickly bought a ferry ticket back to China.
Curiously, Zhao Chunshu did not catch the ship back to China and has remained in Japan ever since. Many ships returning to China and South Korea "accidentally crashed" on the way.
Staying in Japan, Cho Haruki traveled to Asakusa, Tokyo. In his early 20s and strong, he was chosen by the gang and became a gangster horse boy.
The gangster's life is licking the blood and the dead, and there is wine in the present and drunk in the present - he lives in a small hotel with the gangster brothers, gets up every afternoon, goes to the nearby business to collect protection fees, and then goes to the movie theater to rub the movie, and when he has money, he gets drunk.
However, idleness is just a disguise for Zhao Chunshu's social. In fact, he conducted daily martial arts training and even hired a professional coach.
He knew that the underworld was based on violence, and without a strong enough force, it would not be able to eat this bowl of rice.
Zhao Chunshu, who can fight bravely, gradually emerged, and he also got to know many members of the Yu Company.
The so-called Foolish Company refers to the undesirable group of young people in post-war Japan who ignored existing moral concepts and allowed themselves to use violence driven by instinct.
For the fools, violence means everything. With the help of the strength of the Yu Company, Zhao Chunshu began a counterattack in the Japanese underworld.
Before Zhao Chunshu, there was no shortage of foreign tycoons who called the wind and rain in the Japanese underworld, such as Jiro Kiyota, the leader of the Five Generations of the Inagawa Society, whose real name was Yuki Bingkei; Shinichi Matsuyama, the leader of the Five Generations of the Extreme Eastern Society, whose real name was Cao Guihua, and so on.
These big guys are basically North Koreans.
Since the Sino-Japanese War, the Korean Peninsula has become a Japanese colony, and Koreans have become second-class citizens of Japan. The Korean ronin in Japan itself, suffering from discrimination and unfair treatment, organized with hatred as a link, formed a gang.
The Ronin of Korea gradually became a terrible underworld force.
The same is true of the Chinese in Taiwan Province. However, the influence of the Taiwan gang is not the same as that of the Korean Ronin, but it is also the only Chinese force that can be relied on in the Japanese underworld.
At first, Zhao Chunshu did not intersect with the Taiwan gang, and he could hide his identity Chinese.
After relying on force to make a name for himself, Zhao Chunshu began to run a casino, and at that time, he turned to the national essence association, which was in the limelight.
However, the National Essence Association inherited the militarist ideology, disdained Zhao Chunshu, and even openly ridiculed Zhao Chunshu's blood and nationality within the organization, and even called him "Indochinese." ”
Under the deep-rooted xenophobia of the Japanese underworld, Zhao Chunshu gradually broke away from the National Essence Association and came together with the Korean Ronin and the Taiwan Gang.
In the 1940s and 1950s, Inagawa Aguchi was an outlier of japanese gangsters.
Not only did he not exclude expatriates, but he even vigorously recruited North Korean ronin and Chinese. At the recommendation of the Korean ronin Ando Seung, Cho Chunshu worshiped under the gates of the Holy City of Inagawa.
Back against a large tree for shade. Zhao Chunshu's casino business took the fast lane, and even owned its own casino; its own, also famous for its outstanding military strength, became a veritable sitting cannon.
But from sitting on the ground cannon to becoming a big guy, you must also have the wisdom of being a person and using people.
Zhao Chunshu's wisdom is Taoguang yang obscure.
Because of his status as an expatriate, Zhao Chunshu's territory will always be a remote area without oil and water, but he still pays the prescribed tribute on a monthly basis. While other bosses are making a lot of money in Tokyo's bustling areas, Cho chunshu maintains local underground order in satellite cities where there are no shopping malls.
His office, which had never been renovated, had the most extravagant thing he did during his lifetime was to play golf with Inagawa Holy City.
The obscure Zhao Chunshu, compared with his peers who were drunk on paper and gold fans and constantly killing, especially got the weight of the Inagawa Holy City, and even entrusted Zhao Chunshu to Zhao Chunshu before his death.
In 1999, Zhao Chunshu died at the age of 91, and half of the Japanese underworld sent him off, extremely sad.
