After the founding of New China, Du Yuesheng planned to return to Shanghai, but gave up immediately after seeing a photo.

Text/Guan Xin Tong Shi

At the beginning of the last century, Shanghai had become a veritable international metropolis, and Western powers such as Britain and France also established concessions in Shanghai. Although Shanghai seemed stable on the surface at this time, in reality various forces were fighting openly and secretly, among which the Green Gang was the most active.

At that time, the Green Gang in Shanghai was very powerful, with tens of thousands of gang members. They firmly controlled the underground order in Shanghai. The three most famous bosses in the Green Gang were Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin.

Huang Jinrong relied on the power of the French to become the Chinese inspector general of the French Concession Police Station in Shanghai. Later, he set up a gang in Shanghai and recruited many disciples. He was an early gang force in Shanghai. Du Yuesheng was a rising star in the Green Gang and later became a big boss on par with the Green Gang veteran Huang Jinrong.

Du Yuesheng was a shrewd man who was good at dealing with people and many of his stories are still widely circulated. Although Du Yuesheng was a gang member, his first impression in life was more like that of a gentle scholar.
