Li's life
According to media reports in Taiwan Province Province, Li was a representative of the underworld when he was young. He witnessed the ups and downs of rivers and lakes in Taiwan Province Province from the era of swords and guns. His personality is honest and frank, and he was trained by the Taiwan Province authorities. Because he has a high qualification in the underworld and is stable, Taiwan Province often looks for him when encountering thorny disputes within the underworld, and he is also willing to help others.
Li and the late brother Mozzie, the underworld boss, were contemporaries and both belonged to the underworld. After Brother Mozzie's death, Li was called "the last arbiter" by the underworld in Taiwan Province Province. His influence, sometimes even the Taiwan Province police have to "ask for advice".
Li is the founder of the Great Lakes School in Taichung. It is said that when he was young, he had a hot temper and dared to fight and kill. No matter how many people there are, he will go forward. Some people say that he is "really stupid", and over time, "stupid" has become his nickname. However, no one dared to call him "stupid face" to his face, but called him "stupid big" or "stupid big".
Li started from casinos and hotels in his early years, and his real rise was after the "clearing project" of 1985. Because he is cosmopolitan and fair, every time a brother in the street has a dispute, he will be consulted for arbitration, thus establishing his status as "godfather".
"Han Mian" was hot-tempered when he was young, and he "won or lost" with others. No matter how many horses and weapons the other side had, he never backed down. Because of this character, the brothers on the road all recognized that "silly face is enough" and gave him a nickname called "silly face"
Although he runs a hotel, he doesn't like women, but like Brother Mosquito, he is famous for gambling. Rumor has it that he went to Macau to gamble foolishly, but because of the banker's bad attitude, he threw the card in the opponent's face.
However, when Han Mian capsized, he went to Las Vegas during 1998 and borrowed NT$190,000 from his hotel. In 2004, the hotel also sued for recovery across the sea, which shows that Han Mian spent a lot of money on gambling tables.
Lv Chongmin, the "Flying Tiger" with the title of "the strongest eldest brother in Taiwan Province", followed Han Mian when he was young. He once said that Han Mian "started his business almost 24 hours at home and had food at any time. The grand occasion of "people coming and going" is not lost to Meng Changjun, which had 3,000 diners in ancient times. "
Li's introduction
Li is the founder of the Great Lakes Gang in Taichung. Nicknamed "Handy Face", according to media reports in Taiwan Province Province, it was named as the last arbiter of mafia in Taiwan Province Province (the traditional railway trunk line in Taiwan Province Province, starting from Keelung and ending in Kaohsiung, runs through the entire corridor in western Taiwan and connects all major towns in western Taiwan. Li, the godfather and gangster, suffered from liver cancer in his later years, and died on April 10 at the age of 83. In order to avoid causing disputes, Taichung City police have been on guard near his mourning hall. The funeral will be held on the 26th, and it is estimated that 20,000 people will attend the public sacrifice that day.
The godfather of Asian underworld, why did thousands of people mourn when he died, causing a sensation throughout Asia?
Copywriter and producer: Yuan Zaiyu; Copywriter: Li Qing
May 29th, 2005 was the funeral of Xu Haiqing, the godfather of Asian mafia. I believe that people who are lucky enough to stay near the First Funeral Home in Taipei on this day will not easily forget what they saw and heard.
Black cars hung with white cloth drove one after another to the funeral home. Both sides of the road have long been surrounded by people. Although they are dressed differently and have different identities, they all watch the motorcade drive silently.
When the huge motorcade arrived at the mourning hall, the solemn crowd dressed in black immediately poked their heads out. They are waiting, waiting for the last journey to send the people away.
There are many famous gang bosses crowded in the mourning hall in Taipei. In addition, the Japanese Yamaguchi group also sent thousands of people here to express their condolences. At the same time, the Taipei police are also here. Black and white people gathered here, and no one made trouble.
The sun is still shining, but it is no longer warm; Flowers are still bright, but no longer fragrant. The wind was quiet and gently brushed the photos of the dead. Thousands of people stand here, sad.
It stands to reason that underworld people generally don't appear in people's field of vision so openly, let alone so many people. But why did they attend Xu Haiqing's funeral?
Xu Haiqing was also a famous gangster in Taiwan Province in his early years. His influence is spread all over casinos and silver houses in Taipei, and he is even closely related to the Yamaguchi group in Japan. According to conventional thinking, having such great power is bound to offend many people. However, the opposite is true. Xu Haiqing is very brave and has a good relationship with these forces.
Xu Haiqing lost his parents when he was very young, and his grandmother raised him all the time. When he was ten years old, his grandmother also died. Xu Haiqing, from a poor family, has shouldered the burden of life for himself, his younger brother and sister.
Working hard alone, I gradually made many friends in the Jianghu. Because of his character of distinguishing right from wrong and being fair to others, he has helped to solve many market disputes and many Jianghu grievances. Many people also benefited from this, and he slowly embarked on the life of the underworld boss.
However, after becoming the mafia boss, Xu Haiqing didn't change his narrow mind.
In the February 28th incident of 1947, Xu Haiqing didn't fish in troubled waters for profit. On the contrary, he relied on his reputation to solve many conflicts and bloodshed. This also avoids the sacrifice of more innocent people.
Moreover, in 1983, two local forces in Kaohsiung waged numerous battles for territory, which had a very negative impact. The local police station has a headache for this. However, they racked their brains to no avail. At this time, it was Xu Haiqing who persuaded the two forces, solved the urgent needs of the police and helped the people.
In addition, in 1988, Xu Haiqing, who had already gradually withdrawn from the Jianghu, resolutely stood up after learning that Yang Rui and his gang had blackmailed and robbed the casino. After difficult negotiations, he succeeded in greatly reducing the amount of extortion and helping his friends on the road.
It was precisely because he didn't change his true colors as a hero and tried his best to help others after mixing with gangsters that this happened at the funeral. This also tells us from the side that even the darkest soul, as long as there is a trace of good thoughts in its heart and put them into practice, someone will always remember you in the end.
Li incident.
200 1 taichung city speaker Zhang hongnian was kidnapped by wanted criminal Xue Qiu. Li came forward to coordinate, and Xueqiu gave enough face. The ransom was reduced from 300 million yuan (the same as NTD) to 30 million yuan. In 2005, Taiwan Province tycoon was kidnapped by wanted criminals, and Zheng Mingkun, vice chairman of Blue Palace in Dajia Town, Taichung, was kidnapped by Taiwan Province Gengdu Park Group, which was also his middleman. fall ill
A friend said that Li suffered from liver cancer in his later years and had an operation in the hospital at the end of 2009. At first, he recovered well. Later, due to wound infection, the condition deteriorated during the Spring Festival, and liver tumors caused blood vessels to rupture. Li often suffered from internal bleeding in the past month, so he had to rely on blood transfusion to maintain his life. The confidant had hoped that the hospital could treat him again, but Li's family couldn't stand the pain any longer. On the morning of March 10, he was taken back to his hometown for extubation. A gangster in Taiwan Province Province took his own life.
