In 2001, more than 400 military police officers armed with firearms escorted a key suspect, Chen Qili, a big man of the Bamboo Gang.
Still wearing the body of a criminal, he did not get rid of the pursuit of the Taiwan authorities, and he was once again imprisoned, because it was an interview program.
Not long ago, a Taiwanese television station came to interview Chen Qili, but he openly showed off his large collection of firearms in front of the camera.
At that time, the Cambodian government was censoring illegal firearms, and Chen Qili's behavior was obviously a knowing crime.
The result of this is that he has been imprisoned again at a large age, his condition has continued to worsen, and his life has officially entered the countdown.
So as a former Taiwan gangster, why did Chen Qili fall to such a point? What kind of legendary past does he have?
Chen Qili
Sensational "Jiangnan Case" at home and abroad
From a majestic big brother who is a gangster to a fugitive hiding in Cambodia, the turning point in Chen Qili's life must be inseparable from an important person, he is Liu Yiliang.
This person is more well known as the writer Jiangnan.
In 1983, the biography of Chiang Ching-kuo, written by him, came out and began to be serialized in a forum in the United States.
Because it depicts too many shady scenes of the Chiang family and the extremely sharp writing style, it has also quickly attracted thousands of readers.
It didn't take long for the matter to get bigger, and the Taiwan authorities noticed the incident.
They decided to solve this trouble in a "gentle" way first, after all, Liu Yiliang's identity is very special.
Liu Yiliang
He followed the Kuomintang to Taiwan as a teenager, and was favored by Chiang Ching-kuo and was assigned to the political cadre school for training.
Later, after graduating from Taipei Normal University, Liu Yiliang became a journalist and went to work in the United States and became an American citizen.
It was also during this period that he wrote a book while being "plotted" by the FBI as an informant, passing information back and forth between the two sides.
When the Taiwan authorities learned of this, they originally wanted to use various means to co-opt Liu Yiliang and persuade him to close his hands as soon as possible, and then even plotted against him to work for their own intelligence bureau.
As a result, Liu Yiliang chose to betray.
What is even more surprising is that during that time, he was also ready to write a biography of Song Meiling's story.
Liu Yiliang repeatedly challenged the bottom line of the Taiwan authorities, but he did not know that his death date was approaching.
Wang Xiling
In 1984, Wang Xiling, director of Taiwan's Intelligence Bureau, was introduced to Chen Qili, the boss of the Bamboo Gang.
After a few rounds of conversation, the relationship has become familiar.
As for Wang Xiling's request to assassinate Liu Yiliang, Chen Qili also firmly stated that it would be completed and would never leave any traces.
After being arranged to undergo intelligence training for a period of time, Chen Qili flew to the other side of the ocean with his wife and two assistants to meet with Wu Dun and Dong Guisen, the two backbones of the Bamboo Gang.
They first found Liu Yiliang's residence through secret investigation, and for the next few days they secretly tracked his daily whereabouts and grasped his daily routine.
On the morning of October 15, when it was determined that Liu Yiliang would drive to the porcelain shop at Fisherman's Wharf after breakfast, they immediately ambushed in the garage.
As soon as Liu Yiliang appeared, Wu Dun immediately fired a shot at him in the eyebrow, and Dong Guisen made up two shots until he saw him killed, and the two quickly left.
Wu Dun
The task was completed satisfactorily, and Chen Qili also quickly returned to Taiwan with his two younger brothers, who did not expect that they would be greeted by a prison disaster.
Since the news of Liu Yiliang's assassination was exposed by the media, it has attracted great attention from the US government, and after learning the identity of the murderer, they have strongly demanded that the three people be extradited to stand trial.
At that time, the Taiwan authorities had already arrested Chen Qili and others on the pretext of "sweeping away organized crime."
Just when things were getting into a scorching situation, Zhang Anle, who was known as the "white wolf" in the Bamboo Gang, suddenly took out a tape and provided key evidence for the case.
At this moment, everyone knew that chen Qili had been fully prepared before carrying out the task.
The assassination of Jiang Nan was not a trivial matter, and he was worried that he would be silenced when he returned to Taiwan, so he found Zhang Anle and recorded the conversation between himself and the Taiwan Intelligence Bureau and handed it to the other side for preservation.
What he didn't expect was that this really saved his life.
As the impact of the case grew, Wang Xiling and others who had been assigned to Chen Qili's task were quickly arrested and interrogated.
In the end, under the heavy pressure exerted by the US side, almost all the people involved in the case were sentenced, and even Jiang Xiaowu was almost involved.
Chiang Ching-kuo really had no choice but to send him to Singapore and announce that from now on, the descendants of the Chiang family would not run for leadership.
A sensational "Jiangnan case" that caused the Jiang family dynasty to fall lonely from then on, and also made a gang boss a prisoner of the order, which indeed made the outside world sigh endlessly.
However, what is even more confusing is Chen Qili, as the boss of the Bamboo Gang, why did he have to do things for the Taiwan Intelligence Bureau?
A gangster who grew up in a village
In fact, Chen Qili is not a native of Taiwan, he was born in Guang'an, Sichuan, and came to Taiwan with his parents at the age of 6.
At that time, those who migrated from the mainland were called "provincials" and were often bullied by the locals, and Chen Qili was no exception.
Although his parents are engaged in law-related work, and their discipline of him is also very strict, they cannot stand Chen Qili's strong personality.
Since elementary school, he has always seen "provincial people" being beaten in school, and he does not even dare to resist.
Chen Qili didn't like others to do this to him, so every time his fist fell on him, he always had to fight back.
However, the result of this is to be taught more lessons.
Chen Qili once asked his teacher and father for help, but it was useless, whether he should be beaten or beaten.
After that, Chen Qili secretly swore in his heart that only fists and friends could help him solve the problem.
At that time, as soon as the bell rang at the end of class, he immediately tensed his nerves, because the next moment he would face a "battle".
Over time, Chen Qili's body had more and more scars, and his fighting experience became more and more abundant.
In 1953, just after turning ten, he joined a gang called the "Neutralization Gang" and became a member of it.
The "Zhonghe Gang" was founded by a 17-year-old boy named Sun Depei, whose members were children who had been bullied.
Chen Qili can fight well, and has a lot of experience in fighting with people, and soon became famous in the gang.
And as different gangs have appeared more and more, there have been many fights between each other for turf.
Chen Qili is in this period of strength more and more strong, the limelight is more and more prosperous.
It's just that as the size of the gang grows larger and larger, more and more people join in, and the fish and dragons are mixed, and it is naturally not easy to control.
In the past two years, Sun Depei, as the leader of the gang, was imprisoned for killing people, and then there was an infighting among the members of the gang, and other gangs took advantage of the void to divide up the Zhonghe gang.
Seeing that the "old nest" was disbanded, the remaining group of people ran away and re-established the "Bamboo Gang".
During this period, Zhang Anle, Wu Dun and others also joined in, and the Bamboo Gang gradually grew and expanded rapidly.
As for Chen Qili, he became the leader of the gang by virtue of his bravery and righteousness.
Seeing that the development momentum of the Bamboo Gang has become better and better, it turned out that in 1970, Chen Qili suddenly had an accident.
At that time, there was a member of the gang named Chen Ren who wanted to quit, and before leaving, he also took a lot of public funds, because he was afraid of being hunted down, he found the police to protect himself.
Even so, the Bamboo Gang still sent someone to end Chen Ren's life in front of the police.
As a result, Chen Qili was arrested and imprisoned for a full 6 years, which was the first time in his life that he was imprisoned.
Although the leader of the Bamboo Gang went in temporarily, it was fortunate that there was still Zhang Anle.
He was a literate man who had re-reformed the gang's rules and regulations, and the Bamboo Gang was more stable than ever.
However, the least that can be done within the gang is "infighting", and Zhang Anle is still shallow in seniority and difficult to convince the public.
In the end, because he did not want to get involved in the vicious fight between the gangs, he chose to go to the United States.
After Zhang Anle left, Chen Qili should also be released from prison, but from this time on, he focused on the development of business, and established several companies in a row.
During this period, Chen Qili also made friends with many government officials, and with their escort, the industry of the Bamboo Gang once expanded overseas.
Can do both black and white to eat, the bamboo gang to make bigger and stronger, Chen Qili's life can also be regarded as reaching the peak.
Unexpectedly, when he joined the Taiwan Intelligence Bureau with the mentality of "being loyal" to the Taiwan authorities and participated in the task of assassinating Jiangnan, he was thrown away by the Intelligence Bureau as an "outcast."
What's more, more than half of the members of the Bamboo Gang were also arrested and almost faced disbandment again.
Gangster gangsters, the rivers and lakes are far away
After the "Jiangnan case," Chen Qili clearly understood many things, and the Taiwan authorities were extremely hypocritical, simply treating the gangs as "night pots."
Moreover, they have never returned the justice they deserve.
As it turns out, Chen Qili is not wrong.
Since his release from prison, before he could revive the Bamboo Gang, he was once again wanted by the Taiwan authorities because they were carrying out a new round of anti-gang crime operations.
In order to take refuge, Chen Qili, who was already seriously ill, went to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, to live in seclusion after traveling to two or three places, and built a beautiful manor here.
At that time, he was already very low-key, but the visitors were always in an endless stream.
Chen Qili will not easily turn people away, he will always personally brew a cup of alpine cloud tea for the guests, and then talk about recent events, such as the views of the Taiwan authorities.
In Chen Qili's view, over the past few years, both the KMT and the DPP have been "rotten apples" and have become irredeemable.
Those who advocate Taiwan independence all day long are nothing more than the organs of the powerful who let out their stink, and they would rather be ruled by the Communist Party than let Taiwan be taken away by Taiwan independence!
Moreover, because he was wanted by the Taiwan authorities, he had to hide in a foreign land and not even return home.
Later, the gun incident occurred, Chen Qili was arrested and imprisoned for the third time, during which his father died of illness, and he could not even see the last glance.
Even so, the Taiwan authorities are still trying to escort themselves back to Taiwan through international organizations, which has also made them hate the Taiwan authorities even more.
After his release from prison, Chen Qili placed his father's throne in his home to be enshrined, and the rest of the time continued to help Taiwanese businessmen and Chinese people who encountered difficulties.
In 2007, Chen Qili's health had deteriorated, and his family arranged for him to be treated in a hospital in Hong Kong.
Already skinny by the pain of the disease, when he was lying on the hospital bed, he still wanted to make an appointment with his friends to go to Beijing to watch the Olympic Games the next year.
As a result, this wish has not been realized,
On October 4 of the same year, Chen Qili, a generation of gangsters, died of illness.
His funeral was as grand as imagined, and there were many black and white characters who came to bid farewell to consciousness, and the scene was very spectacular.
And Zhang Anle, who had been good friends with him, was also heartbroken to learn this bad news.
The original "Jiangnan case" made him arrested by the US government, spent ten consecutive years in prison, and after his release, he was wanted by the Taiwan authorities.
Because he hated the Taiwan independence elements as much as Chen Qili, after a period of exile, Zhang Anle established the Taiwan Grand Alliance for the Protection of China on the mainland, openly supporting the policy of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems."
Then he learned that his eldest brother Chen Qili had passed away, and he was sad in his heart and wrote a thousand-word memorial to commemorate it.
Zhang Anle said that in addition to Chen Qili's regret of not being able to return to his hometown, there is also a point that he has not been able to see the reunification of the motherland.
In order to see this day coming, in 2013, Zhang Anle resolutely returned to Taiwan and began to lead more people with lofty ideals who were looking forward to reunification to balance the Taiwan independence forces.
He hopes that in his lifetime, he will be able to do something practical to promote the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait, and he is also practicing his promises.
In any case, the reunification of the motherland is the trend of the times, and this day will eventually come.
