With the explosion of the movie, Liu Huanrong, the prototype of the protagonist Chen Guilin played by Ruan Jingtian, also appeared in the eyes of the public again. Let's get to know this "legend" together.
Growth history
On the island of Taiwan, there is an old saying: "When guns and horses enter Huayi, they return empty-handed." This sentence vividly describes the Kuomintang troops who were forced to retreat to Taiwan during the civil war, where they had nothing left and were housed in simple shacks, nicknamed "military villages" by the locals, living a very different life than before.
Residents of the military villages are often blackmailed and beaten by local gangs, while inactive officials turn a blind eye. In this environment, people can only survive by countering violence with violence. An old saying may sum up the scene of this era: "Sharpen the knife Huo Huo to the pigs and sheep, and pity the Huangmen Han who has no money to fatten." This is the environment in which Liu Huanrong grew up.
Liu Huanrong, who grew up in a military village in Taiwan, has endured hardships since he was a child. His father was a lieutenant colonel officer of the Kuomintang Party, and after retreating to Taiwan with the army, he had to become a fruit ferryman, barely supporting the family with this meager income. However, these people from other provinces are discriminated against and bullied locally, and local gangs often come to extort "protection money", and if they refuse to pay, their stalls will be destroyed and even beaten.
Fork in fate
When Liu Huanrong was a child, he witnessed his mother's miserable wail when she was beaten by gangsters, but he couldn't do anything about it. This made him sincerely hate this unfair society, and he was determined to rely on his fists in exchange for the dignity of survival. When he was 16 years old, he joined a small gang organized by people from other provinces, the "Little Plum Blossom Gang", but unexpectedly injured people in a conflict and was imprisoned for 10 months. After being released from prison, Liu Huanrong wanted to reform himself, but the criminal record on his body made his survival more difficult.
At that time, the Taiwan authorities promulgated a strict "regulations on prosecuting and suppressing hooligans," and anyone who looked suspicious could be arrested and imprisoned for "education." Liu Huanrong, who has a criminal record, has become the target of key scrutiny, and he is completely unable to make a living on the right path, and once again embarked on the road of crime.
Liu Huanrong soon became the head of the Bamboo Union Gang with his ferocious and ruthless skills, and became the most ruthless "professional killer" in Taiwan's history in one fell swoop. He once single-handedly destroyed the two gang leaders of the Great Forest Gang and the Great Lakes Gang, and his methods were super ferocious, which made everyone in the entire underworld fearful. What's even more terrifying is that he is not only resolute and ruthless, but also arrogant and arrogant, often making a big deal of it after hurting people to show his "prestige".
Ruthless
Later, Liu Huanrong did something for Chen Qili, the boss of the Bamboo Union, that made people in the underworld frightened. The second generation of a rich man lost NT$200 million due to being manipulated in the casino, and found several other gangs to help "collect debts", successfully compressing the debt to 20 million. Just when everyone was about to divide the spoils, Liu Huanrong suddenly made a move, broke in with a shotgun in his hand, and arrogantly threatened: "Divide the money?" In other words, he ignored the dignity of the gang boss and took the money away alone.
In the following years, Liu Huanrong was even more murderous and murderous. He didn't even let go of his friend You Guolin for many years, and after suspecting that he was an internal ghost, he set up a Hongmen banquet to charm You Guolin, and brutally dismembered his body early the next morning. What's even more terrifying is that when he was in the Philippines, he also exterminated the family of 9 of the two brothers Chen Zhengchang and Chen Nanguang, and the methods were extremely cruel.
Killers also have feelings
But this professional killer, known as the "madman", also has a warm heart. He likes to paint, and all the proceeds from the sale of paintings are donated to orphanages in Taiwan. Whenever they see street children, they will go to rob casinos and give money to the children. What is even more unexpected is that when he was sentenced to death, tens of thousands of orphans pleaded for him, praising him as a "good person".
Although Liu Huanrong's life trajectory is bloody and hideous, he also has a warm side of humanity deep in his heart. It's just that he was born in troubled times and has suffered a lot since he was a child, so he chooses to fight against this ruthless world with ruthless means. The "wanted warrants" drove him to a dead end, eventually leading him to degenerate into a bloodthirsty demon.
epilogue
The journey of life is a troubled road, and Liu Huanrong is one of the people who has gone astray on this road. The turbulent and chaotic era of that year, as well as the cold society, made him write a cruel epic with his own life, becoming a microcosm of this era.
Life is like this, Liu Huanrong's life can be called a great vicissitudes, he has experienced too many injustices in life and was forced to go to a dead end. But he did not give up his yearning for beautiful things, and it was precisely because he experienced the darkness that he longed for the light even more.
There are indeed too many helplessness and hardships in life, but can we hold on to the purity of our hearts? or choose to be drowned in the darkness of despair by fate, Liu Huanrong gave his answer. People have choices in their lives. And what choice will you make?
