During the 2019 National Day, the square outside the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, a famous attraction in Taiwan, was full of people.
A large group of young people gathered here to listen to an old man's lecture.
They all come from the Bamboo Union Gang, Taiwan's largest gangster.
The old man angrily denounced the Taiwan authorities and the "hollow cabbage" lady on the street for selling their souls and being a complete traitor!
After an impassioned speech, he immediately signaled his subordinates to turn on the stereo, then picked up the microphone in his hand and organized the audience to sing the red song "My Chinese Heart".
The red songs were sung one after another, the old man's heart was surging, and the five-star red flag prepared in advance was also waved at this moment, and the old man raised his arms and shouted:
"Adhere to the '92 Consensus'! Peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait! ”
Many tourists at the scene were also infected by this scene, and they took out their mobile phones to find out who this old man was?
However, when everyone saw his information, they were shocked.
This person's name is Zhang Anle, and he is the founder of the Party for the Promotion of Chinese Unification.
Zhang Anle
He also has a stunning identity:
The person who spoke to the Bamboo Union Gang, Taiwan's largest triad organization, is an underworld boss known as the "white wolf" by the jianghu people.
Family trajectories who came to Taiwan from the mainland
"Nostalgia is a shallow strait, I am at this end, and the mainland is at that end."
Every time he recited Mr. Yu Guangzhong's "Homesickness", Zhang Anle's memory would travel back to those fiery years.
Zhang Anle's ancestral home is in Hongdong County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, where the famous wave of immigration began in history.
Zhang Anle's parents also walked out from here and moved their family to Nanjing.
Therefore, Zhang Anle was born in Nanjing in 1948.
Zhang's parents were both college teachers who taught at universities in Nanjing and were senior intellectuals.
If they are in peacetime, they are the Kochi family that everyone envies.
Unfortunately, Nanjing in 1948 was stormy, and Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary rule was about to come to an end.
Under these circumstances, Chiang Kai-shek finally chose to flee Taiwan.
It is indignant that Chiang Kai-shek carried out a frenzied raid before leaving the mainland.
He flew a large amount of gold and silver to Taiwan, and also took a large number of intellectuals to Baodao, including Zhang Anle's parents.
Therefore, Zhang Anle has been living in Taiwan since he has memories, but he has no memory of his true hometown.
Fortunately, his parents were intellectuals with conscience, and they were afraid that Chiang Kai-shek's brainwashing offensive would make their children forget where the "roots" were.
Therefore, since he was a child, Zhang Anle's parents have continuously educated him in patriotism, telling him that the mainland and Taiwan have been in the same cloth since ancient times, and that the two sides of the strait are one family.
Under the influence of such a family atmosphere, Zhang Anle has developed a strong sense of home and country since he was a child.
As he grew older, Zhang Anle perfectly inherited the ingenuity of his parents, and his academic performance was always among the best.
The parents are also very satisfied with this child and look forward to training him to become an academic talent.
To this end, his father also specially took Zhang Anle, who graduated from elementary school, to the United States, allowing him to contact the world's most cutting-edge technology.
Zhang Anle has since made up his mind that he must become a scientific research elite, and when he grows up, like his parents, he will enter the university to engage in research.
But the only difference is that he hopes that when he grows up, he can return to the mainland and serve in the mainland's research institute, so as to use his wisdom to build his hometown well.
His father told him that as long as he studied hard, he would have the opportunity to go to the United States for further studies in the future.
After completing his studies in the United States, he can get rid of the control of the Taiwan authorities and return to the mainland to build the motherland.
Zhang Anle was very excited about this, so he began to immerse himself in reading.
It's just that he doesn't know at this time that fate is about to play a big joke on him.
From a national high school bully to a life-threatening scholar
In the three years of junior high school, Zhang Anle's grades have always been stable in the first place in the class and the top five in the grade.
As long as he plays normally, he can be admitted to key high schools.
However, it was at this time that he contracted pneumonia and was eventually hospitalized, causing him to miss the high school entrance examination that year.
After recovering from pneumonia, Zhang Anle could only transfer to a new junior high school for one year to prepare for the next year's middle school entrance examination.
It was this change that made this rising star of the top student mistakenly embark on the road of gangster bosses.
In this repeat school, there are a large number of students who do not work properly and interact closely with the youth in society.
When they learned that Zhang Anle was not an aboriginal, but from the mainland, they often bullied him at school.
In this regard, Zhang Anle always wanted to calm the people, so he did not tell the teacher about the matter, and he has been suffering silently.
But one day after school, a few punks in the school blocked Zhang Anle's way and wanted to give him some color to see.
Facing several people from the five big and three thick, the thin Zhang Anle knew that it was impossible to escape, so he took the initiative to squat down and hold his head in his hands and prepare to be beaten.
At this moment, several young people rushed up, punching and kicking the punks who bullied Zhang Anle.
Zhang Anle is full of gratitude to these big brothers who roar when they see the uneven road, and must let them tell them where they are.
Several young people in society saw that Zhang Anle was a sincere person, so they said to the "four-eyed boy" in front of them:
"We are from the Bamboo Union Gang, covering this area, if you have difficulties in the future, you will find us."
Zhang Anle felt the humanistic care from the underworld for the first time, which made him feel uneasy.
What made Zhang Anle feel even more amazing was that since that day, the big and small gangsters in the school have treated him respectfully, and they no longer call him "rotten boy" when they meet, but will shout "Brother Le" a few times from afar.
It turned out that the few punks who were beaten saw the people of the Bamboo Union Gang take the lead for him, and mistakenly thought that he had a great future, so they treated him as a big brother.
The clever Zhang Anle quickly figured out the situation in the school, so he simply pretended to be the person in charge of the Bamboo Union Gang stationed in the school, and Zhang Anle became the school's eldest brother.
After graduating from junior high school, Zhang Anle was admitted to a key high school, and the night he received the admission notice, he couldn't wait to tell the good news to the lifesavers that year.
These punks are also very happy, thinking that now is the time for the Bamboo Union Gang to hire people, and if a student like Zhang Anle is willing to join the gang, he will definitely be able to be reused.
So, they solemnly invited Zhang Anle to join the Bamboo Union Gang, and Zhang Anle agreed without hesitation.
After joining the gang, Zhang Anle did both his studies and career.
During the day, he brushes up on questions in school and helps the teacher to hand in homework from time to time;
In the evening, he personally led his brothers to charge and open up the market for the Bamboo Union Gang.
Because Zhang Anle was smart and dared to fight and kill, he quickly established a name in the rivers and lakes, and everyone gave this life-killing scholar a honorific name called "White Wolf", which means to praise his white skin and beautiful heart.
During high school, Zhang Anle fell in love with Tang Taizong Li Shimin, read a lot of ancient books, and taught himself the art of war.
After graduating from high school, he was admitted to Tamkang University with excellent grades majoring in literature and history, which ranked second in Taiwan.
Zhang Anle
Interestingly, on the day Zhang Anle Gold List was inscribed, the Taiwan Bamboo Union Gang actually printed a banner and hung it at the entrance of the school, and the content was actually advertised by Zhang Anle:
Young students join gangs, and their academic performance is beneficial and harmless.
However, it was this move of the Bamboo Union Gang that completely exposed Zhang Anle's identity, and his parents were extremely shocked to learn that their Xueba son was actually the "Great Protector" of the Bamboo United Gang.
The "Gangnam case" that was unfortunately involved
Zhang Anle's parents were so angry that they cried out that their family was unfortunate after knowing that their son was an important big brother in the underworld.
They immediately chose to move and grounded Zhang Anle, demanding that he completely cut ties with the gang.
Zhang Anle has been very filial since he was a child, and he is not willing to go against the wishes of his parents.
After some contemplation, he agreed to his parents' request, announced that the golden basin washed his hands and withdrew from the organization.
In order to show his determination to quit, Zhang Anle worked hard to get admitted to Stanford University as a graduate student.
The younger brothers of the Bamboo Union Gang heard that the boss had gone to the United States for graduate school, and they all stayed in the wind and messy.
Zhang Anle's parents are extremely pleased with this, as long as their son goes to graduate school in the United States, everything will be fine.
After arriving in the United States, Zhang began his graduate studies in accounting and information management, and he used the wealth he had accumulated to open a local Chinese restaurant.
As a result, the restaurant business was booming, earning enough money for all his expenses in the United States.
Just when Zhang Anle was studying academia without distraction, an old friend came to the United States to find him to catch up.
As the so-called "meeting the old knowledge in another country", the person who came was his best classmate at Tamkang University, Chen Qili.
Chen Qili, Zhang Anle
At this time, Chen Qili also has an identity: the Bamboo Union Gang speaker.
Chen Qili stayed in the United States for nearly a month, and Zhang Anle warmly welcomed this good brother.
However, Chen Qili's sudden disturbance of Zhang Anle this time was actually asking for him.
It turned out that as a gangster, Chen Qili had a handle in the hands of the Kuomintang authorities.
So the Kuomintang authorities used this as a blackmail and ordered him to go to the United States to assassinate a journalist codenamed "Jiangnan".
The reason is that this journalist wrote a large number of articles to smear Chiang Ching-kuo, and also published books to expose Chiang Ching-kuo's scandals one by one.
Chen Qili is not a pure reckless man, he is afraid that once he succeeds, the Taiwan authorities will unload the grind and kill the donkey.
Therefore, he handed Zhang Anle the recording of the original Kuomintang and his plot to assassinate him, telling him that if he was in trouble, he would ask him to make the recording public and use the power of public opinion to rescue himself.
Zhang Anle was righteous and Bo Yuntian, and naturally agreed to Chen Qili's request.
The situation turned out to be as Chen Qili expected.
After completing the assassination and returning to Taiwan, Chen Qili was immediately arrested by the Taiwan authorities and sentenced to death on the charge of "assassinating Liu Yiliang (i.e. 'Jiangnan')."
Seeing that the authorities turned their faces and did not recognize people, Zhang Anle was furious, immediately released the recording in his hands in the United States, and hired an American lawyer with a high salary to fight the lawsuit, vowing to rescue his friend Chen Qili.
In the end, the Taiwan authorities were forced to release Chen Qili not guilty.
Chen Qili
Chen Qili was very grateful for Zhang Anle's heavy feelings, so after he was released from prison, he respected Zhang Anle as a speaker, and he took a back seat and became the spiritual leader of the gang.
However, the Taiwan authorities hated Zhang Anle at this time, and a huge conspiracy against Zhang Anle was also staged intensively on the other side of the ocean.
In his later years, he was patriotic and fervorous
Just when Zhang Anle was excited about his friend's freedom, the US police suddenly arrested Zhang Anle on the charge of "drug trafficking" and finally sentenced him to 15 years in prison.
Obviously, this is a conspiracy jointly planned by the Taiwan authorities and the CIA to avenge the "Jiangnan case."
Those who are familiar with Zhang Anle know that he hates drug dealers the most, and when he was running a gang in Taiwan, he set up gang rules that did not allow the Bamboo Union Gang to be contaminated with drugs, and once discovered, he would enforce family laws.
However, Zhang Anle was eventually imprisoned by the Americans.
Zhang Anle, who was in prison, did not give in, and on the one hand, he continued his studies in prison, earning two master's degrees;
On the other hand, he read a large number of original Marxist-Leninist works, formed new gangs in prison, and did not forget to scold the Taiwan authorities as lackeys of the Americans when he was in prison.
Zhang Anle was imprisoned in the United States for a decade.
After his release, his thinking changed greatly and he was determined to fight the Taiwan authorities to the end.
He used the power of the Bamboo Union Gang to establish the Tao Strategy Group and began to whitewash the organization.
At this time, the Taiwan authorities were already in power by Ah Hui, a member of Taiwan, and Ah Hui issued a wanted warrant for Zhang Anle.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Anle resolutely returned to the mainland of the motherland to invest in construction, bravely became a trendsetter in the wave of reform and opening up, and successively invested and built factories in Shenzhen, Dongguan and Nanchang.
It was also during this period that he witnessed a series of brilliant achievements made by the mainland of the motherland under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and realized that only cross-strait reunification was the only way out for Taiwan.
As he grew older, Zhang Anle's sense of identity and belonging to the mainland became stronger, so he devoted all his energy in his later years to the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.
In 2004, Zhang Anle saw that the D-elements in the grandstand were very rampant on the island, so he led the leaders of the Bamboo Union Gang to the 72 Martyrs' Cemetery in Huanghuagang, Guangzhou, to pay public respects.
Zhang Anle came prepared, and before the martyr's spirit, he led the establishment of the Taiwan Great Alliance for the Protection of China Party, delivered an impromptu speech, and angered the leader of the Taiwan authorities.
The following year, Zhang Anle reorganized the Alliance Party and established the "China Reunification Promotion Party," loudly publicizing the slogan of "cross-strait reunification, one country, two systems," and mobilizing Taiwan's patriotic people to hold demonstrations and rallies, which stirred up the Taiwan authorities' anxiety.
In 2013, Zhang Anle returned to Baodao after 17 years away from Taiwan.
Facing a large number of reporters waiting at the airport, Zhang Anle distributed the "Patriotic Handbook" on the spot as a gangster and opposition leader.
The Taiwan authorities were furious and immediately arrested him.
As a result, the next day, Zhang Anle's son took a lawyer and bailed Zhang Anle with 1 million in cash.
So far, Zhang Anle still shows his "white wolf" characteristics, biting the "hollow cabbage" and not letting go.
Whenever a reporter asked him why he was so "pro-China", Zhang Anle would immediately reply to the other party:
"We are originally a family, we are all Chinese, where did the pro-China and pro-Taiwan distinction come from? Only Wang Baeggan will deceive and destroy the ancestors. ”
These powerful words made him receive a lot of praise.
Not long ago, when US politician Lopezi visited Taiwan, Zhang Anle did not say a word, spent a huge amount of money to directly check into the hotel where Lopesi was located in advance, and openly sang red songs with a stereo in the lobby, causing the Taiwan authorities to complain.
It is said that now "Hollow Cai" sees Zhang Anle choosing to go around, and he is really scared by Zhang Anle.
epilogue
In his later years, Zhang Anle would always repeatedly chant Cao Cao's verse "A martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong". He said that he was old, but he was old and strong, and his heart in Taiwan turned to the mainland.
If he could see the reunification of the two sides of the strait before entering the soil, he would die without regrets. Of course, it is better to have peaceful reunification, because the two sides of the strait are originally one family!
