Du, male, 1888, from Chuansha Guild Hall, Jiangsu Province. His parents died one after another when he was very young, and he grew up smoothly with the help of his stepmother and uncle. At that time, in this era of frequent wars and poor people, Du's difficulties can be imagined. He experienced the tempering of society and saw through the changes of human feelings since he was a child.
At the age of fourteen, his life began to take a turn for the better. He successfully entered a school in green gang and took Chen Shichang as his teacher. Then, relying on the relationship and his years of experience, Du gained Huang's esteem, and the future is bound to be limitless if there is no accident. And Du didn't live up to his painstaking efforts. His career was booming and he eventually succeeded Huang as the leader of green gang.
Speaking of it, Du seems to be a villain. He colluded with warlords, sold opium and ran casinos, almost committing all kinds of evils, but it was such a heartless man who made money and did not hesitate to lend a helping hand in times of national disaster. He did a lot of charity work: he opened hospitals, donated money to schools and delivered materials to the army. After the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, he raised funds in various ways just to support the front. It can be seen that Du Fu is not pure good and evil, but more a complex contradiction, but it is clear that he can temporarily put aside his desire for money in the face of justice.
Du once said: There was no justice when Shanghai fell, and there was no justice after Shanghai won. Why did he send out such feelings? More because of what happened to him. Du, who was once all-powerful, returned to Shanghai after the victory of 1945 Anti-Japanese War and suffered many blows. His contribution in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression made Du think that he could get many benefits by going back to Shanghai. Some people even rumored that he might be appointed as the mayor of Shanghai, and his position jumped from gang leader to senior political official. Du thought this was an advanced right, but in fact he was greeted by the loud slogan of "Down with Du".
When Du learned about the situation in Shanghai, he was already on the train that was about to arrive in Shanghai. In dismay, he can only get off at Shanghai South Railway Station for a while, and then quietly return to his mansion. All this is quite different from Du Yuesheng's imagination. There is no flag-waving welcome, and even a little feeling of beating Reservoir Dogs, but that's not all.
People cannot read, but they cannot be illiterate. Du, who has always had confidence in his ability to recognize people, also suffered from Waterloo. Suppressed by his protege Wu Shaoshu. If the past scenery is no longer the helplessness of impermanence and contingency, then Wu Shaoshu's suppression can only be said to be unknown.
At that time, Wu Shaoshu was highly valued by Mr. Jiang. In order to better consolidate his position, Wu carried out Mr. Jiang's orders to the end. The slogan "Down with Du" comes from his handwriting, but its purpose is only to cater to Mr. Jiang's purpose of cracking down on evil.
But at that time, Du still had illusions about Wu Shaoshu. He didn't think his disciples would betray him, but he faced the reality. Wu Shaoshu first avoided Du and then took the initiative to visit him, which is also an arrogant attitude. He exchanged pleasantries with the sick Du and left. Wu Shaoshu's trip is like a phone call, indicating that he has nothing to do with Du, and he just wants to suppress Du.
