Du Yuesheng (1888 8.22-1951 8.16), originally named Yuesheng, was later renamed Yong and given the name Yuesheng at the suggestion of Zhang Taiyan, a master of Chinese studies (from "Zhou Li Taisi Yue Shu": the music of the West is Yong, the music of the East is Yong) The music is Sheng), one of the most famous figures in the Shanghai Youth Gang in modern times.
After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng organized the Shanghai Rescue Committee in the name of Vice President of the Red Cross Society of China and rescued tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians injured in the Anti-Japanese War. After the Board of Directors of the Red Cross Society of China moved to Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng personally took charge of the work and raised funds for the rescue business. After the fall of Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng retreated to Chongqing and took charge of the Red Cross Society's affairs, including forward rescue, rear air raid rescue, and medical care.
The following is an excerpt from "The Secret History of Du Yuesheng's Fortune": Du Yuesheng's coverage is very wide. He not only goes in and out of black and white, and is comfortable in the business, military and political circles, but also extends his tentacles to finance, Industry, journalism, education and many other fields were unique in China at that time. He came from a humble background, his parents died young, and yet he was such an insignificant little brat in the eyes of everyone, with a frail body. He broke into Greater Shanghai, which is known as the place where strong men live, and eventually became the boss of the Youth Gang in Greater Shanghai, and became a tycoon on Shanghai who swept across the three worlds of China, Britain and France.
Du Yuesheng’s real name was Du Yuesheng. Later, after he became successful, he also rectified his culture, so he asked someone to change his name, and then he became the Du Yuesheng we see today. Du Yuesheng relied on Huang Huangrong's wife to climb up the ladder, but we can see how talented and scheming Du Yuesheng is. Regardless of how many cruel and ruthless things Du Yuesheng has done, his patriotism is undeniable. Regardless of whether Du Yuesheng sank all the company's ships into the sea in order to save the country or because he was afraid that Shanghai would lose its position and be shaken, this behavior is still worthy of our respect. Human nature is inherently selfish, and I think his behavior is enough to infect me.
He was an insignificant little brat in the eyes of everyone, but later he eventually became the boss of the Youth Gang in Greater Shanghai, and became a tycoon in Shanghai who swept across the three worlds of China, Britain and France. This is a unique change. His prosperity was partly due to his own means and partly to the situation at that time. The situation at that time, it is undeniable that it made Du Yuesheng's legendary life.
After Du Yuesheng became successful, he was also very generous to others. No matter who he was, as long as he came to ask Du Yuesheng for help, Du Yuesheng would help. I think this phenomenon is rare today. I don’t think many of today’s rich people are like Du Yuesheng, who would give alms to those who ask for help when they become rich. Du Yuesheng was also the best person among the three tycoons, so much so that Du Yuesheng maintained his position, and eventually it became Du Huang and Zhang's situation.
No matter whether Du Yuesheng is a decent person or a villain. I don't think it can be generalized. I admire Du Yuesheng very much. There is something about him that we can learn from, and it is undeniable that there is also something worth abandoning. Everyone's views and perspectives are different.
