By far this is one of the best episodes, its like a "History of Tung On 101" class. Like those who understand cantonese, listening to him speak in regular cantonese sounds more authentic and natural. Looking forward to more vids like this from other speakers.

BigHead is so articulate! He can be a radio host and one can hear the HK proficiency in his vernacular.

[@DanteAtropos]

It’s really informative, I grew up knowing the names because my parents would talk about them from the news papers and never let me walk down there but seeing the faces really changes everything. It’s sad to see the pain in Bigheads eyes when he recalls the decline and eventual end to everything.

[@MrMajesticStreak]

Awesome video! I just wanted to point out that the subtitles mentioned cocaine going for $50,000 a unit when it should have been $500,000. That better explains how Jimmy was able to live so lavishly for so many years in HK.

[@yyyhj7895]

I liked this very much.

[@jmikesta]

Love this video! And especially the fact that it is in Cantonese, I had no issue reading the subtitles! I have a question....as far as the Chinese gangs in NYC during the 80s and 90s, it seems to me (I'm an 80s baby and grew up in Flushing and Bayside in the 90s) that they were dominated by Chinese from Hong Kong and Cantonese was the dominant spoken language among gang members. Excluding the Vietnamese and Korean gangs, all of the guys I knew associated with the Chinese gangs, they were either born in Hong Kong or their parent's immigrated here from Hong Kong and they all spoke Cantonese mainly. I knew there were some Fukienese gangs but to my experience I haven't really seen Chinese gangs filled with people who spoke the main Mandarin language. By and large the Chinese gangs were dominated by people from Hong Kong. Is this a fair and true statement?

[@chinatowngangstories]

Correct

[@ljason888]

This would be true where ever you are East Coast, West Coast, UK, Amsterdam, Etc...

Amazing video! . Can I make a suggestion? for videos that cover a specific gang or topic can we do a quick 1 min intro before going into the stories? example if this video is about Tung On, maybe give a brief 1 min overview of who the Tung On are, what era and what is Big heads role. Some of the viewers, myself included are new to these names.

[@chinatowngangstories]

Noted

[@peteryeung111]

Big head was bad kid growing up. He chose his own path in life. He seems like a righteous and honourable man. No judgement on what he did in the past. Is the gentleman with the suit a former gang associate? I think big head said he is a cop now…How did he change his life around? Great content and great interview!

Big Head is probably the most knowledgeable about NYC Chinatown organized crime. Probably because he was such a high-ranking gangster. His stories are so detailed and interesting. I especially liked hearing about his dealings with Hong Kong celebrities.

Can you bring up stories regarding Chinatown Vans and Buses that operated there? How they operated? Is each line say 8th Avenue and Flushing etc are they operated by a certain gangs? Back when I was a kid I heard many gang fights with vans being destroyed by other companies like Fung Wah's vans being set on fire, their buses to Boston got set on fire. I would like to hear stories about the booming times that Chinatown was the mecca on transportation wars.

Back in the 90s when concerts were hot in chinatown bring top stars from HK to NJ for concert is a well orchestrated business. I appauled them for this as this is big money for the casinos and the crew. Can you explain why ticket prices are so high especially for HK singers coming to NJ to perform?

[@hunggar398]

FYI....FU Gor (aka Paul Lai) used to take the TO guys to his motel in Albany to hide when there are issues. Agree that Fu Gor is a very nice guy. Chi Kueng and Chi Fai are brothers, so Chi Kueng does know SYO but not as close as Chi Fai....money talk. There is also a group called Fat Keung (HK and NYC Brooklyn) that is connected to 14K.

[@keviny.9596]

Is Fat Keung related to Martial Art?

[@hunggar398]

@@pakmei4690 Yes. I am not saying that the NYC Brooklyn branch is doing anything illegal, since a lot of those are kids learning kung fu, but the parent branch in HK is connected to the triad, which means the elder guys in the NYC branch also know them too.
