Du Yuesheng

"You need guts and wits to survive in this world."

- Du Yuesheng

Du Yuesheng, nicknamed Big-Eared Du, is one of the richest people in Asia of his era and the most iconic gangster in the recent history of China.

Coming from humble beginnings, Du began his career as acting as a bodyguard at a brothel where he became acquainted with the Green Gang, which he joined at the age of 16. Du was soon introduced to Huang Jinrong the highest-ranked Chinese detective in the French Concession Police (FCP) and one of Shanghai's most notorious gangsters, who named the young Du his gambling and opium enforcer.

Though his newfound prestigious title and slowly rising power that Du became one of the most famous gangsters in China. Though it wasn't until after Huang was imprisoned that Du's rise truly began. It took every connection he had and a lot of money to free his mentor, but he ultimately succeeded. Huang stepped down shortly after and handed his criminal empire over to Du.

A staunch Confucian conservative, he funded Chiang Kai-shek's political career behind the scenes and continued to support the Kuomintang (KMT) during both the Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War.

After the Nationalist defeat in the Chinese Civil War, Du fled to Hong Kong. It is unknown how much power he had left during this time. In his later years, Du became blind and possibly senile. In 1951, Du decided it was safe to return to China but died before he could arrive due to a disease caused by heavy opium use.
