In Shanghai, in 1936, Shanghai was still the largest city in the Far East, and all kinds of black-and-white collusion emerged one after another. In such an era of fireworks and crime, Chiang Kai-shek's nephew Yu Luomin accidentally angered a bigwig, Lu Liankui, the inspector general of the Shanghai Public Concession. Lu Liankui is not only a bigwig in the police world, but also inextricably linked to the underworld. As the old saying goes, "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, but it doesn't know the hearts of good people", what situation will this conflict turn into?
One day in 1936, in the spring season, the streets and alleys of Shanghai were filled with the fragrance of sycamore flowers, but what this floral fragrance could not hide was the smell of power and desire that layers upon layers. Behind the prosperity, there are countless contradictions hidden.
Yu Luomin, a young and promising young man, as Chiang Kai-shek's nephew, is naturally a golden branch and jade leaf, and he always has some confidence in walking the rivers and lakes. On this day, Yu Luomin had just received his military salary from Nanjing, and he had some money in his pocket, so he wanted to stop in Shanghai for a while and buy some things to take home. He chose the famous Central Hotel on Shanghai Beach as a base to stay, but he never thought that this stop would run into trouble.
Lu Liankui, the chief inspector of the public concession at the time, held a lot of power, and he was beautiful on weekdays, but he was also a notorious figure. On this day, he took his little lover Miss Liu to appear at the Central Hotel, and when the two were in love, an accident happened. Yu Luomin accidentally collided with Miss Liu in the elevator room, which was a trivial matter, but in the eyes of his lover, it was a big rebellion.
As soon as Lu Liankui's anger came, where did he care whose relative you were, in the dead of night, he came straight to Yu Luomin's room with a little bit of alcohol and a little annoyance. He knocked on the door and entered, looking like he was going to search, but he had the intention of robbing and stealing. Yu Luomin saw Lu Liankui's ill intentions at a glance, and the two had a fierce argument in the room.
Just when the atmosphere was at its most tense, Lu Liankui couldn't help but make a move and gave Yu Luomin two resounding slaps. This slap not only hit Yu Luomin's face, but also hit Chiang Kai-shek's heart. When the news reached Chiang Kai-shek's ears, he did not become angry, but made a phone call to Wu Tiecheng, the mayor of Shanghai, with a smile, and said lightly: "Since he is so rich, let him donate 10 planes." In this sentence, there is not only the helplessness of Yu Luomin being beaten, but also the irony of Lu Liankui's unscrupulous behavior.
Afterwards, Lu Liankui got this "donation order", although he was unhappy in his heart, but under the power, he could only agree to it. Although this incident finally ended with Lu Liankui's concession, it also deeply revealed a delicate balance in the power field in Shanghai at that time.
This story not only reflects the complex relationship and social landscape of Shanghai in 1936, but also serves as a mirror, reflecting the multifaceted nature of humanity and the helplessness of reality. In a game of thrones, sometimes it's not how much power you have, but how much wisdom you can use to resolve conflicts and reach reconciliation. As the saying goes, a wise man will make a mistake if he thinks a thousand times, and a fool will gain a thousand thoughts. Staying sober and wise in the midst of a complex web of social relationships is perhaps the most valuable lesson we can learn from this story.
