The Influence of Kowloon Castle on Hong Kong

Let's not talk about Kowloon Walled City. Since 1950, a large number of immigrants have flooded into the mainland of China and Hongkong, and many of them have settled in Kowloon Walled City and rented houses. Moreover, the Kowloon walled city is a "three noes" area, which attracts many fishermen from mainland towns and villages to gather and collude with the local underworld to carry out various illegal activities in the walled city. At that time, corruption was very common, and illegal activities developed rapidly with little resistance, which made the flow of people in the city village complicated and became a hotbed of evil and evil. The most profitable activities are nothing more than "pornography, gambling and drugs". In the early 1950s, fishermen jointly built a big bamboo shed in Zhaizheng, in which a small stage was built and several strippers were invited to perform striptease on the stage. The dance floor is small, with only 100 seats. Business hours are from 5: 00 p.m. to late at night, each session lasts for one hour, and the charge is 50%. In order to attract more spectators, fishermen sent a large number of people to the city wall to publicize to passers-by, and even rented several cars to the gas station. Promote the area around Banshutou and the temple, and send the audience to Zhaicheng for free to watch the performance. Since then, striptease has continued to grow and develop. At that time, watching striptease became one of many people's pastimes. But a few months later, the striptease whirlwind suddenly disappeared. This is probably because less than half a year after a performance, the audience lost their initial curiosity and most people were bored, so it was over. The decline of striptease did not reduce the pornography in Zhaicheng. On the contrary, many different types of pornographic works have appeared one after another, such as "body painting", "beauty shoeshine" and "dollar test film". It is said that the real purpose of pornography in Kowloon Walled City, especially striptease performances, is to attract people to gamble in the city. That makes sense, because the business scale at that time was small, but the profit was high. The gambling hall in Zhaicheng is located in the center of Jinlong Road, at the entrance of A, B, C and D Road near Yaqianlang Road, and turn right at Jinlong Road. Anyone who goes to the strip show must pass by this casino first. The original gambling hall covered an area of about 600 feet, and there was a "stall" inside. "and a" pai gow? \ \ "stop? The bet is a fan stall, which is not large in scale. It's just a case of "one skin is two positive". The so-called "one skin is two sides", and "skin" refers to the stall, each one? There is only one skinner, so it is called a skin. Among them, "positive" refers to the betting square, and "two positive" refers to the square with only two bets, which is the smallest pavilion pattern. In the corner of the gambling hall near the hawker, there is a god named the landlord God of Wealth. The layout of this shrine is very special. There is a piece of yellow paper on the wall, which reads "Dragon Gods in Five Places and Five Earths, the God of Wealth of Landlords before and after". On this, there is a piece of yellow paper, which says "kill three sides". There is no incense burner under the throne, but there are two pieces of ginger, one for inserting incense and the other for inserting a sharp knife, and the blade is outward to show the killing of the three parties. In the early 1950s, there were only two kinds of gambling dens in Zhaicheng, namely, rice stalls and Pai Jiu, which was in the striptease era. Striptease? More and more people know that there is a casino in Zhaizhai, and more and more people come to gamble. After the striptease era, gambling halls expanded a lot, and thirteen gambling halls were opened, such as sic bo's, and the number of people also increased. At that time, my career was in full swing. At that time, the drug business in Jiulongzhai City was complicated, and fishermen took the opportunity to engage in drug trading, attracting a large number of drug addicts to gather in Zhaizhai City. At that time, there were three kinds of drug dens in Chengzhai, namely, white powder stalls, opium dens and red pill dens. There is a mean alley in Zhaicheng called Guangming Street, but in fact it is dark, full of stalls selling white powder, at least seven or eight. Just because there are seven or eight booths doesn't mean there are seven or eight bosses. Because their white powder was given to them by a relocated household, they had to rely on the care of the relocated household to sell the goods on the street. In this way, there is no need to take care of people to manage the sale and collect money, and there is no need to prepare a large number of white powder absorbing appliances, such as tin foil, which saves a lot of trouble. Drug addicts gave "Guangming Street" a different name, called "Radio Street". Why does this interesting name appear? Because drug addicts will feel weak and weak when they have a seizure, but they will become fierce as soon as they smoke white powder? Let's go It's like an electric toy's battery is running out, so it's named after adding the battery to move. And their so-called "electricity" is to suck white powder. During the period from 1954 to 1962, the white powder sold by Zhaicheng White Powder Stall was 50 cents a pack, which was the cheapest among all drugs, so people who ate white powder were the lowest. But they are not born poor. Most of them are poor because they are addicted to drugs and cannot extricate themselves. The opium dens in the city are similar to those outside the city, with smoke lamps and bangzi inside. The bong is also called the "flag". Some museums have one flag, some have two flags, and at most four flags. Yiqi cigarette shop, named "Private Bureau", only caters to well-dressed and high-spending guests; Two or more banners are "food stalls", which specialize in the business of low-consumption people. In 1950s and 1960s, the price of a three-point opium cigarette was five yuan, which was significantly higher than that of white powder. Therefore, people who smoke opium are better dressed and earn more than people who smoke white powder. Through "pornography, gambling and drugs", fishermen, drug dealers, casino owners and corrupt groups plundered a large number of social resources in Jiuzhai City, and used them sparingly, making the general lower class poorer and poorer.

At that time, the walled city was actually divided into east and west areas, and the east area was a dark area, full of all kinds of illegal acts. The west side is full of areas where good people live. Therefore, all illegal businesses such as cigarette shops, gambling stalls, drug manufacturing and trafficking are concentrated in the Eastern District. In addition, there is a road leading to Carpenter Road in the Western District, so some residents never go to the Eastern District, so residents in the Eastern District will not be affected by the "filth" in the Western District. Nevertheless, many knowledgeable residents are thrifty and understand that this environment will have a bad influence on the next generation. They will work hard, or do business outside the city, try to save money and buy a house outside the city. When new immigrants come to settle in Hong Kong and live in Zhaicheng, they will immediately sell their stone houses and move out of Zhaicheng. 2008-11-26 21:27:15 supplement: architectural problems. From the end of 1960s, architecture began to develop to high altitude, from only five or six storeys in the early 1960s to eleven or two storeys, and in the 1970s, it was rebuilt or raised to fourteen or five storeys. In the18th century, the number of floors increased. The buildings in Jiulongzhai City are towering into the sky. Only two buildings have two old elevators, and the rest have to go up and down. Once a fire breaks out, it's really worrying. Because the village in the city is a place where nothing is in charge and nothing is supervised, many unscrupulous builders cut corners and make huge profits during construction. For example, the builders didn't have piling columns when they were building, and the concrete was not strong enough … and so on. 2008-11-26 21:27: 36 Supplement: The population of the densely populated walled city has gradually increased since the war. In the 1950s, the population of Zhaicheng was only a few thousand, but in a short period of more than ten years, the population has soared to more than 20,000. According to the official statistics in 1980s, there are more than12,000 families and 40,000 people living in Zhaicheng. In order to cope with the rapid population growth, the former wooden houses and two-story wooden houses had to be transformed into concrete buildings. The height of concrete buildings has also increased from the initial five or six floors to. By the 1980s, the architecture had reached saturation. Although the buildings are more than ten stories high, only two buildings have two old elevators, and the rest have to walk up and down. 2008-11-2621:27: 55 Supplement: With the development of society and the evolution of Zhaicheng itself, such as the renovation of buildings, the rapid growth of population, the rise of righteousness and the development of people's wisdom, the problems of "pornography, gambling and drugs" in Zhaicheng gradually decrease or even disappear. There were no gambling stalls and dog meat stalls in Zhaicheng in the late 1960s. The striptease and "Xinhua Sound", which appeared in the mid-1960s, ended in the 1970s. That "evil land" and "land of three religions and nine streams" have become history. 2008-11-2621:29: 30 Supplement: Kowloon Chengzhai Park: big5.xinhua/gate/big5/news.xinhua/gangao/2008-09/19.
