Features: In that era, without courage and wisdom, one could not stand in the bustling streets of Shanghai; without power as support and indulgence, a ruffian could never become a leader of the underworld. Du Yuesheng, a former leader of the Shanghai underworld gang, was once highly praised by Chiang Kai-shek as "[benevolent and righteous]" and "[helpful to the people]". Rising from the bottom as a "small nobody" to become the top boss of the underworld in old China, his rise to prominence was not accidental. This book takes Du Yuesheng as the main thread, comprehensively and objectively revealing the dark of alliances and conflicts between the underworld forces of old China and various political factions, as well as the internal struggles among different factions.
