Du said I have no hope, but China has hope. What does that mean?

"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Whether he is a good person or a bad person, as long as he has a little affection for the country, he will have the idea of serving the country when the country is in danger. Even if he didn't, or what he did before his life was not accepted by the world, he would look back on his life before his death, have some regrets and express his thoughts to later generations.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was an all-powerful figure in Shanghai. His parents died when he was very young. In order to survive, he entered Fu Huang, green gang. During this period, Du gained Huang's trust and was mainly responsible for casinos in the French Concession. Later, Du colluded with warlords to sell opium. It is not difficult to find that Du did many bad things to get rich when he was young.

After earning money, Du started his own business, set up Sanxin Company, monopolized opium transportation in French Concession, and later organized a meeting with Huang and even served as the director of the Public Participation Bureau. At that time, Hua Dong of the Public Bureau was the highest position for Chinese in the French Concession. When the financial industry came to Shanghai, Du felt the coming of business opportunities and founded Zhonghui Bank, which became a famous gangster at that time.

Du still has a patriotic heart, although many things he has done in his life have hurt ordinary people. When the Japanese Empire launched the Lugouqiao Incident and the August 13th Incident, Du decisively participated in the anti-Japanese support clubs from all walks of life in Shanghai, taking charge of related matters in terms of materials, and made many contributions to China's victory over Japan. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the warring parties in China rose. At this time, Du received an olive branch from both sides of the strait, but after weighing it again and again, he decided to give up everything in the mainland and choose to go to Hong Kong.

His time in Hongkong was the most ordinary time for green gang tycoons. It was also at this time that Du saw the hope of national development and knew that he was powerless to change the country. Therefore, he pinned his hopes on a new generation of young people. In order to give people who had contact with him a chance to develop, Du tore up the IOUs worth more than one billion yuan. He left only 1 10000 before his death, which was distributed according to the following scheme: each wife got 1000, his son got 10000, his unmarried daughter got 6000 and his married daughter got 4000.

Du knew that he didn't leave much wealth to future generations, but he also believed that his children and grandchildren would surely break out of their own world. According to Du's daughter, "The last thing my father said to people around him after he woke up was that I have no hope, but all of you have hope, and China still has hope."

Du Neng has such words, probably because he knows that the development of his gang can only bring wealth to individuals, and a country needs positive progress to develop. He hopes that his descendants will no longer have any connection with gangs, live a normal life and serve the country.
