In a museum in Shanghai, there are many cultural relics used by Du Fu, one of which is very special? Fruit knife? You won't know it's a pistol unless you look carefully. The only difference between it and the fruit knife is that there is a small trigger on the handle of the fruit knife. This small pistol can fire 1 bullet and can be loaded quickly. No enemy can walk out of Du Yuesheng alive within five meters.
At the same time, this pistol can also be used in front of a dagger, which is a weapon for close combat. It can be called a very portable self-defense weapon, and no one can recognize such a strange shape at all. So, why did Du Yuesheng use such an odd pistol? This will start with his rough experience.
Du was born in 1888, a native of Shanghai, whose real name was Du, and later changed his name to Du under the guidance of famous thinker and writer Zhang Taiyan. He was born in poverty. In China at that time, people at the bottom of society lived a hard life. In order to change this hard life, many civilians living in the city will join two gangs, one is Hong Men and the other is green gang.
Du used to sell fruit in a fruit shop, but because he supported the workers' movement at that time, he was fired by the owner of the fruit shop for making trouble. So Du had to take refuge in Huang and joined green gang in 1902. At that time, although green gang also put forward various lofty slogans conceptually, it was actually a gathering place for local ruffians and rogues. It is difficult for young Du Yuesheng to survive in such an environment. He himself said:
I must be sincere to people. Even if someone cheats me for a while, I can always impress him with sincerity and convince him. My way of life is based on a sincere word. You can only talk about making friends by analogy. ?
But in? Sincerity? At the same time, Du has to be on the lookout for being beaten and assassinated. As a little green gang slacker, few people care about his life, so a self-defense weapon is very important to him.
Du's development also lies in his appreciation of Huang. From a penniless punk, he gradually reached the level of equality with Huang and Huang. How many people are jealous of him and dissatisfied with him? And Huang is on an equal footing with this former pony, will he deliberately make a stumbling block for him? This is inevitable. However, Du handled these crises well with his own efforts. His secret is:
Money is used up, but friendship is not enough. So others save money and I keep friendship. Nothing can save money more than Jinshan Haiyin. Friendship is like heaven and earth! ?
The climax of Du's life was after 1937. Before that, he was just a gangster, not a big shot, and even suppressed the progressive forces during the period, with poor record. However, the arrival of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression shows Du's responsibility in times of crisis at home and abroad.
During the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese sent people to contact Du, hoping that Du would take refuge in them, because Du's influence in Shanghai was too great. But Du's answer to them is:? I am a common people in China, but I dare not do it because of nationalism? Du not only verbally rejected the Japanese, but also secretly assisted the then government in intelligence work and assassinated traitors who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country.
On the one hand, it truly shows Du's national feelings; on the other hand, it aggravates Du's insecurity. Because he once suppressed the progressive forces, and now he is attacking traitors, including his sworn brother Zhang Xiaolin, which makes him please both sides and the Japanese want to kill him. At that time, the famous killer Wang Yaqiao warned him. To this end, Du had to carry a life-saving artifact with him.
Later, when Japan retreated, Du, who made great contributions to Chiang Kai-shek's anti-Japanese and suppression of progressive forces, was recognized by Chiang Kai-shek as? Du is the representative of the black forces? Du had to leave Shanghai for Hong Kong, where he spent the rest of his life and died in Hong Kong in 195 1.
Du Yuesheng's life may be like his small pistol. Although he looks like a fruit knife, he has done many great things that only a pistol can do. He is the thinnest person in the world. His life experience is more legendary than his pistol image.
