He is the "godfather of heroin" in the Golden Triangle
He is the "opium general" in modern history of Myanmar
He was born in Myanmar but says he is a Chinese
Decades in the Golden Triangle have made heroin, a new drug, popular around the world.
Opium warlords, drug lords, drug kings, etc. are his hats
He is Luo Xinghan
Speaking of the Golden Triangle, it is no stranger to most Chinese, the world drug cave not far from the Chinese border, the Golden Triangle can be world-famous, inseparable from the "credit" of these generations of drug lords, but many people do not know that opium was not grown before the Golden Triangle.
In the 19th century, at the instigation of British and French colonists, the Golden Triangle began to cultivate opium drugs, and in the 20th century, the colonial system collapsed, and the armed forces of the Golden Triangle set up their own portals and began to harvest market fish and meat, which also gave birth to several drug kings, and drug production became larger and larger.
Luo Xinghan was born in Kokang in 1934, his Burmese name is "Fear of Mongolia" His family made a lot of money by growing big tobacco and selling opium, and became a well-known rich family in the local area.
In the 40s and 50s of the 20th century, after the Kuomintang army retreated to Kokang, it began to recruit troops, organize people to clear arable land, grow poppies and trade opium.
The Kuomintang founded the Anti-Communist 3 Military School in Kokang, when Luo Hanxing was 13 years old and entered the school, along with the "King of Kokang" Peng Jiasheng, Kunsha came from this school
After graduating from primary school, Luo Hanxing was awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and then entered the Yang family's toast armed forces, the captain of the self-defense forces, because of the appreciation of Yang Jinxiu and Miss Yang Er in the Yang family, coupled with Luo Xinghan's marksmanship, he soon became Miss Yang Er's right hand.
Miss Yang Er is a noble person in Luo Hanxing's career, and he also became a springboard for the later poison king.
In 1962, a military coup d'état occurred in Burma, arresting Yang Zhencai (Yang Jinxiu's brother), the abdicated toastmaster of the Yang clan, and Yang Jinxiu, who took over as Kokang leader, and putting him under house arrest on charges of drug trafficking.
A few months later, Luo Xinghan led people to fight a bloody battle with the government army and recaptured Miss Yang Er at the cost of hundreds of casualties, and Luo Xinghan became famous ever since.
In the 60s of the 20th century, the family armed forces of the Tusi Yang family were defeated by the Burmese government army, and Luo Xinghan and many people in the Self-Defense Forces defected to the remnants of the Kuomintang. War is on the verge of eruption between government forces and Burma's major family forces. In the turbulent situation, the head of the family armed forces led by Luo Hanxing and Yang Jinxiu was arrested, and the family armed forces of the Yang family were destroyed.
After being released from prison for five years, Yang Jinxiu returned to Yangon to retire and never got involved in the drug business again. Since then, the matter between Luo Hanxing and Miss Yang Er has come to an end.
Luo Han Hing negotiated with the Burmese government and the Burmese government on the condition that they jointly deal with the Burmese communists, and the Burmese government quickly released him, allocated him with a gun, and appointed him as the leader of the Kokang Self-Defense Forces to return to Kokang to suppress the "insurgent" forces.
Luo Hanxing took the opportunity to dismantle the Yang family's armed forces, replaced them himself, and added the "yellow horse coat" given by the government to kill Kokang, and because of his merits in "suppressing bandits", he became the chairman of the Kokang County Government.
Relying on the model of drug trafficking and feeding the army with drugs, Luo Xinghan's army has continued to expand, reaching more than 2,000 people at its peak, and the army has also purchased American-style equipment.
The entire drug business in the Golden Triangle has to go through Luo Xinghan's hands. There is already a complete and mature drug industry chain. From cultivation to purification and poisoning, to contacting domestic and foreign buyers for sale.
Luo Xinghan built his own drug factory and drug warehouse, plus the armed forces and accumulated contacts, and the drug production, supply and marketing were all in hand.
It is understood that more than 200 tons of opium can be transported in a year, making a profit of 6 million US dollars.
It was during this period that Luo Xinghan's factory produced a new drug, heroin. As soon as this new drug was produced, it quickly became popular all over the world
According to the American Times: In its heyday, more than 60% of heroin in the United States came from Luo Xinghan. The reason why the United States calls Luo Xinghan the "godfather of heroin".
In July 1973, the drug lord, who had a near monopoly on the global drug business, was arrested in Thailand and handed over to the Burmese government, which imposed him to death under pressure from the United States, and then changed to life imprisonment.
On May 28, 1980, he was granted amnesty, and Luo Xinghan was released from prison in June of the same year. Quan's brother Luo Xingming led more than 800 people to surrender to the Burmese government.
In 1989, he cooperated with the Burmese government army to negotiate with the general of the Communist Party of Burma, Peng Jiasheng, to expel the Communist Party of Burma, form the Chengdang Allied Army, and was designated as the First Special Region of Shan State, and served as the chairman of the Kokang Cultural Association.
He died at his home in Yangon, Myanmar on July 6, 2013.
Drugs in the Golden Triangle have not disappeared because of Luo Hanxing's withdrawal, and to this day, drugs are still the common enemy of the global people, and the fight against drugs has not stopped.
For drugs, everyone should always be on guard, only by staying away from drugs can we have a healthy and fresh life.
