Thanks man, might two or three videos till part 3 as it's Journey to the West month again. But I've planned out videos for the next 5 months, so 2018 should be a pretty good year for the channel hopefully :)

[@WooKong]

[@ZsStudio]

Great job as usual, bro!

[@WooKong]

[@shijimashrieks9486]

[@WooKong]

More coming soon :)

[@fishtalk5948]

Very interesting! Job well done love it!

[@Georgesnon-stop]

Very high quality, I enjoyed watching :-)

[@WooKong]

Thanks Georges!

[@GijoeHam]

Thank you. Very much.

[@jimsandy4872]

Thank you so very much!

[@angsern8455]

That's weird, I heard he sent a good portion of the green gang into the military to fight the japanese but didn't fight himself and was shunned by the people.

[@JaymeLawman]

Apart from the map and the misspelling, good video

[@WooKong]

Those small mistakes still haunt me :/

[@yukindu6369]

Thanks to this great man, he really did much contribution. I heard about many stories from him because he lived in my town that time. Sadly, his former home has been barred.

[@plainnsimplme]

thats sick dude!! u need to review how u perceive the world, sorry

[@crikhard]

on top of this he got a world record rubiks cube solve too?? dang

[@TreQuatro34]

Cool video very much appreciated. Im curious about your sources, if you wouldn’t mind sharing I’d love to read up on this history some more.

[@WooKong]

No problem, glad you liked it! Haha actually I almost always put a few of the sources in the description, I completely forgot this time. I'll do it now :)

[@WooKong]

Updated! It's an interesting read, there is a few things I left out to keep it short so you will be bound to pick up a few bits of extra information ;)

[@hazelstritt7848]

WooKong Omg so cool! I also found the topic fascinating and I'm happy to read more on it! You always have such great ideas for your videos, and we never know what stuff you'll be talking about, each video is like a Xmas present aha

[@WooKong]

Thank you Hazel, I'm glad you are still enjoying them and I can keep surprising :)

[@MinhPham-rw1nl]

2:58, Chiang did have a large hand in the Shanghai underworld, like literally, the man was the biggest gambler and owed many gangs a huge sum of debt

[@jairuskersey8311]

Great video. You deserve much more views

[@GijoeHam]

As well as the people here. Even if there not yours from currigated boxes.

[@GLOBIK]

Cool video! Whangpoo river? Is it really how they were spelling it before?

[@WooKong]

Thanks man, haha yeah the old Wade-Giles and French versions of Pinyin suck, its the reason we have Tsingtao beer instead of Qingdao beer.

[@GLOBIK]

Ah! I didn't know that. That could be another video.

[@WooKong]

It's on the list haha

[@zhubajie6940]

Great vid. Never understood the connection to Guan Yu. Especially the police worship as well as Triads as well as every Chinese restaurant in the world. Would make a good vid though.

[@WooKong]

I've had the topic of Guan Yu on the list for a while now, will hopefully get to it in the next few months. It's mostly because he was extremely loyal to his sworn brothers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, but I'll go deeper in the future :)

[@KrayzieBuddha]

WooKong Sworn brothers in the book but not in real life I’ve been told (and has a big ego I might add) lol. He’s also a deity, a god of war (and perhaps a bodyguard for Guan Ying in Buddhism). Not just police and triads worship him but also the common folks like local businesses. He suppose to ward off evil spirits and entities.

[@GijoeHam]

For everything.

[@GijoeHam]

From currigated boxes

[@rahmanidibansa6791]

👍👍👍

[@dan020350]

Hi.

[@plainnsimplme]

if the communists were to be defined by there adversaries, they would be the saviour saints of this world.

[@weilinyang3739]

Can you introduce broken tooth?

[@WooKong]

Sure I'll get to it one day. I would like to continue on the Triad series :)

[@weilinyang3739]

@@WooKong thank you

[@saraishinkai15]

Du looks southern Chinese

[@WooKong]

I can never really tell the difference between southern and northern Chinese (aside from accent), I know he was a pretty tall guy so I just assumed he had northern heritage. Might be wrong though :)

[@saraishinkai15]

WooKong .then he may be north . North and mid tend to be taller than south

[@张骁-p4z]

Some difference can be easily told, but Du Yuesheng is hard to tell where he comes from by his face. Many people in North China also look in this way. But one thing is sure, if you find a male or female who has high cheekbones, dark skin, a little yellow hair and a little raucous voice, he or she must come from Guangxi province. I have tried many times, and this is awalys correct.

[@gizmoduck4292]

I want a movie of this man's exploits so badly

[@jimsandy4872]

I book needs to be written first, on how the Brits and later the Japanese exploited the chinese people with the drug trade. As is being done to Armerican people during the last 50 years my their own CIA.

[@Haydenormous]

You should check out The Last Tycoon

[@AlexanderTheGreat1991]

Funny.. my girlfriend's family name is Du. :D

[@swagpeach9850]

du yuesheng is much more than capon. such a comparison is a insult to du

[@stoneandstar8352]

Doesn’t sound like it. Sounds like most of “his” empire was built by his mentor that had to sweep the street.

[@swagpeach9850]

@@stoneandstar8352 Right and most of his mentors empire was built by Zhang Renkui, who was arguably the true godfather of Shanghai at the time. What's your point? If you always go back in time then there is always someone else who came before. Also Huang Jinrong a willing to give the majority of control over to Du Yuesheng because there is no denying Du's talent and smarts.
