Where does Xiang Huayan live?

Xiang Huaqiang is inextricably linked to Xin Ngee Ann, the largest gang in Hong Kong. This was also the relationship that allowed Xiang Huaqiang to gain a foothold in the complicated Hong Kong entertainment industry back then. However, if you think that Xiang Huaqiang only has a background in Sun Ngee Ann, you would be wrong. He is also related to the former underground emperor of Hong Kong, Lu Le.

When talking about Shanghai in the 1930s, you have to mention Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, and when talking about Hong Kong from the 1950s to the 1970s, you have to mention Xiang Huayan and Lu Happy.

Among them, Xiang Huayan is Xiang Huaqiang’s eldest brother and the second-generation leader of Xin Ngee Ann. Lu Le was the chief inspector of Hong Kong at that time. Brother Xiang Huaqiang and Lu Le are actually from the same hometown, and they are not only from the same hometown, they are actually relatives. Xiang Huayan’s ex-wife’s father is Lu Le’s uncle. With this level of relationship, Lu Le and Xiang Huayan also cooperated a lot in Hong Kong, and the two became Hong Kong's Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng.

Back then, Huang Jinrong worked as a detective in the patrol house of the French Concession in Shanghai, while Du Yuesheng was the leader of the Green Gang. The two of them, one white and one black, controlled the black and white in Hong Kong. The same goes for Lu Le and Xiang Huayan. There is the famous Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, and Xiang Xiang was once hailed as the Emperor of Kowloon.

Xiang Huaqiang's father Xiang Xiang first worked in the military command. Later, because of his outstanding ability, he was spotted by Dai Li and gradually became Dai Li's general. Later, Dai Li sent Qianqian to Hong Kong to engage in underground work. After arriving in Hong Kong, Xiang Xiang organized all the scattered Chaozhou gangs to form Xin Ngee Ann and carried out corporate operations. In 1953, Qianqian was deported by the British.

Xiang Xiang asked his eldest son Xiang Huayan to be the leader of Xin Ngee'an, and left a rule that the leader of Xin Ngee'an must be Xiang's family. When leaving Qianqian, Lu Le also began to rise in the Hong Kong police force and became a detective. Many years later, Xiang Huaqiang once made a movie "The Legend of Lan Gang" and played the role of Lan Gang himself. He was successfully nominated for the Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Lan Gang is one of the four detectives who is as famous as Lu Le. The name that many people in the mainland are more familiar with is Lei Luo, not Lu Le. After the 1980s, there have been at least dozens of movies related to the Four Detectives in Hong Kong. The most recent one is "Chasing the Dragon" by Wang Jing. Because Lu Le was still there when many movies were filmed, the name Lei Luo was used to avoid suspicion. Many of these films were invested in Huaqiang.

Xiang Huayan and Lu Le were very powerful in Hong Kong at that time. Lu Le was called the 500 million detective at the time, and was richer than Li Ka-shing. In 1967, Lu Le and Lan Gang switched jurisdictions. Lu Le realized that the top management in Hong Kong wanted to move him, so he immigrated to Canada soon after, leaving Hong Kong, a place of right and wrong. After Lu Le left, Xiang Huayan did not fall because of this. Instead, he continued to lead the development of Xin Ngee Ann and continued to occupy the top spot in Hong Kong's gangs.

At this time, Xiang Huaqiang was still developing in the Taiwanese film industry. Although he came from a gang family, Xiang Huaqiang had never participated in it. This is where Xiang Huaqiang was smart. In 1987, Xiang Huaqiang and his youngest brother Xiang Huasheng collaborated to establish Yongsheng Film Company in Hong Kong. In fact, a very important thing happened this year. In 1985, the Hong Kong police sent an undercover agent to Xin Ngee Ann. Later, Xiang Huayan was arrested by the Hong Kong police. Then Xiang Huayan was taken to court. However, after a two-year trial, Xiang Huayan was finally acquitted in 1987. .

It is worth mentioning that Xiang Huayan’s son Xiang Zhanwei is a well-known practicing barrister in Hong Kong. After this incident happened, Xiang Huayan kept a lower profile. In "Young and Dangerous", Jiang Tianyang once told Chen Haonan: Gang affairs should be low-key, while money-making matters should be high-profile. This is actually the situation of the Xiang family after 1987.

After Xiang Huayan began to fade out of the gang, the leading position was handed over to his son, and Xiang Huaqiang's seventh brother Xiang Huabo became the number two figure. In the same year, Xiang Huaqiang established Yongsheng Films in Hong Kong and quickly poached people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. In fact, it is obvious that Xiang Jia has already begun planning for transformation at this time, so he fully supports Xiang Huaqiang in developing his film career.

At that time, the Hong Kong film industry was a mixed bag, and if you didn’t have some power, you wouldn’t be able to stand here. Behind each film company is actually the power of various gangs. In order to compete for resources, these people often resort to evil hands. Xiang Jia's background is obviously Xiang Huaqiang's strongest support.

There is a saying in "The Grandmaster" that the true meaning of a knife is not to kill, but to hide. In fact, for Xiang Huaqiang, the background of the Xiang family is that knife. Xiang Huaqiang does not need to carry this knife everywhere to fight and kill. As long as he carries this knife, no one in the Hong Kong entertainment circle will dare to give him face.

In addition to the relationship in Hong Kong, Xiang Huaqiang also has many connections in the mainland. The first relationship is with Xiang Huaqiang's ex-wife Ding Pei. Ding Pei was once a popular star in Hong Kong. Although Xiang Huaqiang and Ding Pei are divorced, they are still good friends. Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan have been secretly taking care of Ding Pei for many years. Ding Pei had a cousin who was the director of a department under a certain ministry, and his influence was astonishing. It was also because of his connections that Xiang Huaqiang dared to go to Beijing to set up a singing studio.

In addition, Xiang Huaqiang has another relationship, but this relationship is just a rumor and not confirmed.

For many years, there have been rumors that Xiang Huaqiang worshiped a certain deputy national leader as his adoptive father. This is the real deal.
