Chapter 2 Hongmen General Association
Speaking of Honolulu, Chinese people naturally think of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who studied here with his mother when he was very young, later studied medicine here, and then studied at O'Hue College, which can be said to be the base camp of Sun Yat-sen, and it was here that he gave birth to the spark of revolution.
And another inseparable from Mr. Sun Yat-sen is Hongmen. The relationship between Hongmen and Honolulu also mostly comes from Sun Yat-sen. When he was young, Sun Yat-sen went everywhere to propagate the revolution, but he found that the Chinese were obsessed with promotion and wealth, and were not interested in revolution at all. However, it is not completely hopeless, Mr. Sun Yat-sen unexpectedly found that there is a group of people whose thinking is not so rigid and their enthusiasm is quite high. What about those people? It is a friend of the rivers and lakes, and culturally speaking, it is a party person.
How did you find out? It turned out that Sun Yat-sen had a classmate named Zheng Shiliang in the hospital, who later dropped out of school and went home. Whether it is a pyramid scheme or a revolution, it is always right to start with your classmates first. Sun Yat-sen found him, and as soon as this buddy heard that he was going to revolution, he immediately became enthusiastic, and took the initiative to confess to Sun Yat-sen that he was now a mixed society and the leader of the local triad. Now that I've heard what you've said, it's very reasonable, and if you think about it in the future, I'll take my brother to do it with you!
Good guy, now Mr. Sun Yat-sen has found a breakthrough: the United Party is engaged in revolution. He once said: "Those who still hold revolutionary doctrine and can be compared are only a few relatives and friends." Scholars are obsessed with fame and fortune, but the so-called lower society, but there is a triad organization, which contains the idea of anti-Qing Dynasty and restoration of the Ming Dynasty. "What does it mean, that is, every righteous person slaughters dogs, and most of them are scholars.
After many efforts, Sun Yat-sen contacted the three gangsters of the Xingzhong Society, the Elders' Association, and the Triad Association to hold a meeting in Hong Kong and established the Xinghan Society, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen became the president. The following year, the Huizhou Uprising was launched, and most of them were triad members. The uprising later failed, and everyone disbanded. The triad members go back or continue to mix with society. Although he failed, Sun Yat-sen found a direction: to launch the party.
Here we have to mention Hongmen. Sun Yat-sen found that overseas Chinese were basically Hongmen Chinese, and Hongmen also had the slogan of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", which happened to coincide with Sun Yat-sen's aspirations, especially the "anti-Qing" part. So, Sun Yat-sen joined the Hongmen in Honolulu, because he was originally the head of the Xinghan Society, so he was named Hongbang as soon as he entered the Hongmen. With the support of Hongmen, Mr. Sun Yat-sen had people and money, and it can be said that Hongmen had indelible contributions to the overthrow of the Qing court. Many of the famous revolutionaries were in fact Hongmen. Like Qiu Jin, the heroine of Jianhu, is the white paper fan in the Hongmen; Huang Xing is the leader of the Elders' Association. What's more, the two US presidents, Franklin and Roosevelt, were both the legal advisers of Hongmen's court, which shows how powerful Hongmen is.
In 1904, Sun Yat-sen went to the United States to carry out revolutionary activities as the "big brother of Hongmen", and Situ Meitang was moved by Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideals and decided to serve as a security guard. Situ Meitang was actually a real Hongmen leader at that time. From then on, the Hongmen organization began to support Sun Yat-sen's anti-Qing revolutionary activities in terms of manpower and financial resources. After the success of the Xinhai Revolution, Sun Yat-sen invited Situ Meitang to return to China as a supervising seal officer. But Situ Meitang chose to do things to hide his merits and fame, and he is really a model for my generation.
Okay, please forgive an old chatter, people always have more memories when they are old.
As I got off the boat, a Lincoln was waiting on the shore. We entered a European-style castle with a Gothic gate, passing through a European-style garden with white roses, passing through a high-ceilinged foyer and a magnificent gate, round arched windows and corner stones, white stucco walls combined with light red roof tiles, continuous arches and cloisters, and a living room with high windows and high windows.
Can you imagine the stupidity of an old hat standing in front of a magnificent castle? Situ Jing snorted and laughed, patted me, and ran to the gate in a hurry, then turned around and stretched out his hand to me, and said, "Chu Jiu, welcome to my house." โ
I came back to my senses, my face flushed, I bowed with my fists, and said, "Excuse me." โ
Situ Jing grabbed my hand and said, "You also have to stretch out your hand, in this way, this is called handshake, Western etiquette." Some gentlemen even kiss the back of a lady's hand. Why don't Miss Ben let you kiss it? โ
I think my face must have been redder than a ripe crab, and I didn't know what to say or what to do. At this time, Uncle Li said: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, let's go in first." Xiao Tang, you take the luggage from the ninth year to the guest room. On the ninth day of the new year, we went to the restaurant to eat first. A little guy answered.
Uncle Li led us to the house on the right, and we arrived in a short time. From afar, I saw an old man sitting at the dining table, with silver hair, bright eyes, and a strong spirit, which was very majestic. In the second position on the left-hand side stood a middle-aged woman, with an elegant and dusty temperament, and her face was seven or eight points similar to Situ Jing, thinking that she was Situ Jing's mother. Sure enough, Situ Jing trotted over, first called Grandpa at the old man, and then laughed beside the woman.
The woman patted Situ Jing, motioned for her to stand up, and then walked towards me, as soon as she saw my arm, her eyes turned red, and her voice was a little choked, and she said, "Who hurt you like this, if Ah Jing knowsยทยทยทยทยทยท" Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Uncle Li: "Okay, okay, this is the ninth day of the new year!" The woman nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, the ninth day of the first month." On the ninth day of the first month, you can call me Aunt Liu. โ
I bent over and saluted and shouted, "Aunt Liu is good! โ
At this time, the old man beckoned to us, and his voice was loud, and said, "Come, child, come and let me see!" โ
I followed Uncle Li to walk briskly, a little restrained, not knowing what to call. Situ Jing said: "What are you doing stupidly, call grandpa quickly!" โ
This is the first time I have met Mr. Situ Zhengben, the current leader of Hongmen, and the son-in-law of Mr. Situ Meitang, a legendary figure.
I called out to my grandfather, and he said, "Okay, sit down." Then a hand will grab me and press it gently towards the right-hand side.
At this time, I have been baptized by the wind and waves at sea, and I dare not say that this strength has reached the realm of nature. I felt a force pressing down on me, and my instinctive arm lifted up to remove it.
The old man sighed, I came to my senses, hurriedly bowed my hand, and said, "Ah, don't dare, don't dare." โ
The old man waved his hand and said, "You have practiced this Tai Chi Gate Kung Fu well. Okay, don't shirk it, it's a guest from afar, you can just sit here. Jingjing's brothers are not often at home, and they usually sit here quietly. โ
Hearing this, I put my mind at ease and did it next to the old man. A meal, chatting about some homely things and what I have seen.
It's night, there's nothing to say.
For the next half month, I just wandered around the garden to recuperate. It wasn't until I felt that my arms were no longer in the way, and I started to play around in the castle.
The European-style castle is really very different from the common gardens in China. The domestic gardens pay more attention to the change of scenery, the mountains and rivers depend on each other, and the European-style castle is relatively more straightforward.
The Kasbah is huge. On this day, I forgot my way back during the tour, so I had to scurry around and unconsciously walked behind the castle. Passing through the fence, I was surprised to find that there was another Chinese-style building behind the castle, three or four stories high, quiet and rarely crowded. I walked up to the door and found a couplet hanging from the door. The upper link is "a group of streams and mountains through the ages", the lower link is "the water of the three rivers and gorges for ten thousand years", and the horizontal batch is "loyal to the liver and righteous gall".
I was looking closely, when suddenly the door was divided to the left and right, and two people came out of it, hurriedly walking out, talking to each other. Maybe they were too engrossed, or maybe they didn't expect there to be a person standing here, and one of them came straight at me. I couldn't dodge, so I had to raise my hands slightly, and with a slight stroke, the man staggered and jumped backwards.
This man raised his head to look at me, and saw that his eyes were bright and his face was like a crown of jade, which made people naturally feel a sense of inferiority when they saw him. The other man next to him was also very handsome.
I clasped my fists and said, "I'm sorry." โ
The man said, "What an excuse to be embarrassed! You don't open your eyes! Who are you and how did you get here! โ
I was not very happy to hear this, I was young and vigorous at that time, and I smiled coldly: "Who do you care about me!" You're so unreasonable, I'm standing here well, it's you who bumped into me, okay! โ
The other person looked at me and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, which little guy is this?" What's wrong with hitting you, whoever told you to stand here will hit you when you stand here. โ
I was also new to Honolulu, I was unfamiliar with the place, and I didn't want to cause trouble for Uncle Li, so I stopped talking and said "I really don't have a tutor" and walked away.
Who knew that this man would not be happy when he heard this, and grabbed me by the shoulder with one hand, and shouted, "Boy, who do you say!" Don't think about leaving if you don't make it clear today! โ
Since I was facing away from them at this time, I didn't have time to react when I heard the wind, and I didn't understand what was going on until my shoulder hurt. I hurriedly grabbed the man's wrist with my right hand, slid my shoulder downward, and pushed the window to look at the moon on his chest. The man took three steps back before he stood firmly, one hand on his chest, and he shouted, "Good boy! Your mother doesn't even know you if I don't beat me! โ
