The key to holding a legal certificate is that the holder must be able to prove that he or she entered the country through legal means, and the relevant authorities are well aware that many Chinese cannot do this, they have no legal status, and they will be expelled from the country once they are discovered.

Although there is no evidence that these people are the gangsters who wield guns in the streets, and that their expulsion will not necessarily bring peace to Chinatown, they don't seem to care.

The raid lasted several days, and with the cooperation of the sheriff, the Chinatown was put under the law, and federal police detectives entered the search, and every Chinese person in sight was rounded up. Most of those arrested were legal residents, and some of them also had the nationality of the ugly country.

Detectives searched Chinese restaurants, casinos, laundry rooms, theaters, apartments, shops, and even dragged people out of their beds without authorization.

As a result, actions to eliminate unrest have turned into trampling on individual rights, and the police have become more and more disrespectful and rash.

Hundreds of Chinese were stuffed into police cars and taken to federal buildings.

They were herded into a large room and questioned by immigration officers in turn under the guidance of an interpreter.

Those with residence certificates were released, and those who did not were taken into custody and sent to the "grave" prison or Ellis Island.

Some of those who had never touched a weapon in their lives were sentenced to non-bail and had to wait in weeping for repatriation.

No other group of immigrants has ever been subjected to such mistreatment.

Although the Irish and Italians were also involved in bloody gang battles, they were not rounded up and deported en masse.

This time, however, the Federation decided that the expulsion of the Chinese was the only way to bring peace to Chinatown, and to do so by whatever means they deemed necessary.

Li Yaoyang has not been feeling well in the past few days, he is under tremendous pressure, and his neighbors, who used to support him, are now afraid to avoid him.

Some of his compatriots looked at him with disgust, as if they blamed his head for all this.

Is it really wrong? He couldn't help but think.

For the sake of his brothers and women, many innocent people have suffered, which is not right or reasonable, but if he does not avenge his brothers and women, how can this team be led?

The brothers of the Anliang Chamber of Commerce are all from the south of China, and most of them landed on the west coast of the ugly country, and then looked east for opportunities, hoping to return home one day.

Most of them are laborers, but some of them have accumulated considerable wealth through business and have taken root in the ugly country.

The Chamber of Commerce is like their secret brotherhood.

Although on the surface, they are engaged in a variety of social affairs, in reality, they spend most of their time doing criminal business.

Their weapons evolved from knives to pistols and bombs.

Their main battlefield in New York was a triangle of more than an acre in lower Manhattan, adjacent to the dilapidated Five Point District.

The triangle is bounded by Mott Street, Disclosure Street, and Limskow Square and Bao Li Street, and encompasses the entire winding street of Doya.

Since then, it has been the center of New York's Chinatown.

And now, it has become the main battlefield of Dongxing and Anliang Chamber of Commerce.

At night, the sound of gunfire is incessant, and the fire of the ammunition eruption is particularly dazzling in the night.

It's too chaotic, it's too chaotic, the situation of not closing the door at night in Chinatown in the past few years has disappeared, every night is the sound of gunfire that makes it difficult to sleep, many Chinese plan to move, but where can they go?

The urban landscape of New York in the early twentieth century was almost a mosaic of the entire human majority, with newcomers joining Irish, English, Jewish, Italian, German, and Black people struggling to make a living in New York's most notorious neighborhoods.

The ruling class lived in mansions in Murray Hill and Gramercy Park, while large numbers of workers crowded into low-rent apartments in Sifang, the Dongjiang Wharf in Lower Manhattan, and the Fifth Subdivision in Liufang, which was notorious for pubs, casinos, women's wards, and gang fighting.

The Statue of Liberty was erected at the mouth of the Hudson River in 1886, and New York represented the United States opening its arms to "weary people" around the world.

However, New York's Chinatown has not yet shared the glory of the torch of freedom, and the Chinese seem too "heterogeneous".

The "exotic" depictions of the Chinese by newspaper commentators did not seem romantic, but were followed by skeptical and astonishing stares.

In fact, the situation is a bit like that of the nineteen-eighties, when rioters in Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, California and other western states began to attack Chinese businesses and homes.

Many of the Chinese returned to China, while those who remained headed eastward, setting their sights on the Midwest and East cities of Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston.

The way of life of the Chinese is very different from that of the ugly Chinese, which deepens the fear of the "yellow peril" in the wave of anti-Chinese and hypes up the "inassimibilitation" of the Chinese as ugly.

For example, they are too frugal to care about living conditions, do not speak English, and participate in ZZ, etc., all of which have become "evidence" of the inferior, slave nature of the Chinese race.

In order to incite a nationwide wave of anti-Chinese people, some newspapers and periodicals either published cartoons or serialized cartoons to scandalize the image of the Chinese, describing the Chinese as vampires with big thick lips, long pigtails, squinted eyes, and dirty complexions, and molesting white girls.

In this extremely unfavorable atmosphere, the total number of Chinese groups in the ugly country continued to decline, and the existing Chinese groups began to move from the West Coast to New York, and New York became the first choice for Chinese settlements.

The total number of Chinese in New York City tripled in the last decade of the 19th century, not counting those who lived in the suburbs and were omitted.

However, now, the Chinese who have finally taken root in Chinatown are once again facing an existential crisis, and many people are dragging their families and preparing to run away.

But where can they go? Before, from the west to the east, now from the east back to the west?

Compared to the chaotic east, the stampede of the Chinese in the west seems to be more severe.

Many Chinese people are so confused that they stand at the intersection with their luggage, not knowing where to go next.

At this time, there is a need for a leader, because the Chinese have always played the role of the best executor, and once they are faced with a major decision, they subconsciously want to follow the advice of the rulers and managers.

It is said to be a suggestion, but in fact it is an order.

Most people are accustomed to it, and with this order, they will become faithful executors and fulfill the instructions of their superiors well.

Hierarchy has always been important in China, and Chinese in the United States instinctively want to rebuild familiar community structures according to the Chinese model.

A strong sense of hierarchy is needed for the presence of a patriarch.

His work included building authority, bridging differences, officiating ceremonies, solving problems, and pursuing the public good.

In a sense, Wang Anliang assumed the role of "patriarch" in New York's Chinatown, known as the most powerful Chinese in Chinatown in the nineteen-nineties, representing the efforts of the Chinese to "become ugly".

He came to New York in 1878, where he put on Western-style clothes before anyone else, tugged his braids into his top hat, and even married a white wife who was ten years younger than him.

Wang Anliang was sent to New York by the "Six Assembly Halls", the highest governing body in San Francisco's Chinatown, and was also recognized by the Tammoni Association.

He became deputy sheriff, becoming the first Chinese in New York history to serve in an office.

When Chinatown's gambling, women's branch and duck slice industries emerged in the nineteen-eighties, Mr. Wang served as a bridge between New York's corrupt municipal and casino owners.

It opened the door to convenience for Chinese people looking for a way out, and also filled their own wallets and those of the police.

The Tammoni Association has put a clear price on the official positions of the police department, and the owners of restaurants, casinos, and women's branches in Chinatown also expect the police to turn a blind eye to their transgressions.

However, due to the language barrier, the police could not directly collect protection money from them, and the gamblers' alliance agreed that the casino would pay eight US dollars per week, one-third of which would go into Wang Anliang's pocket and the rest to the police in case they raided it......

This privilege can bring Wang Anliang tens of thousands of dollars of income every year, which is equivalent to extra money.

The impact of Chinese exclusion on Chinatown was enormous, resulting in an imbalance between men and women in the Chinese community, and the compression of urban space.

There is no doubt that the "Tang Fight" is a clash of crime and violence, and the four Tang Fights are ostensibly triggered by some inconsequential trivialities, but they are the competition between different forces for increasingly narrow economic interests.

The reason is that the Chinese in Chinatown, who have been excluded from mainstream society, cannot rely on the rule of law, democracy, and "personal struggle" to realize the dream of an ugly country.

When survival and safety are all issues, let alone learning the lifestyle and values of the ugly people, this has become a pretext for the ugly society to attack Chinatown. In a bachelor society that lacks women and families, Chinese people do the hardest work in the United States, but they do not get the same emotional comfort as normal people.

Therefore, many people indulge in smoke houses that swallow clouds and spitting fog, casinos where Hulu drinks pheasants, or women's branches in the clouds and rain, and bad habits such as smoking independence, gambling, and women's tickets have become 'good medicine' for overseas Chinese in deformed societies to dispel nostalgia and forget their fatigue and boredom."

A large fight ensued, the most typical example of which was the fourth and final fight, which resulted in the failure of the factional struggle at the annual meeting of the Anliang Chamber of Commerce in Pittsburgh, and the defection of some members of the Anliang Chamber of Commerce, which eventually led to repeated clashes between the eastern and central western churches for nearly a decade.

This kind of bloodshed made the ugly newspapers feel that the Chinese were barbaric and unbelievable, and often fought over trivial matters, and endlessly, without any concept of law.

But in addition to the struggle for economic interests and power, the reasons often involve the "face" culture of Asian societies.

This concept of the Chinese people is higher than the law.

Face is closely related to honor and prestige, and in order to save face, we must not swallow our anger, which leads to a vicious circle of retribution for injustice.

In fact, there was no shortage of crime in many immigrant communities, and in 1904 334 Chinese were arrested in New York.

By comparison, the number of arrests was close to two thousand for the Irish, more than 13,000 for Italians, more than 12,000 for polar bears, and more than 11,000 for Germans.

There were more than 600 homicides in Manhattan that year, but only one died in a clash of churches.

But Chinatown is far more notorious than any other ethnic group, and has even become a selling point for curiosity seekers.

In the past two years, the public declaration of war has almost disappeared, and it seems that it has begun to gradually withdraw from the sight of history.

The most important reason is that the living and living patterns of the Chinese people began to change, and at the same time, the Great Depression also hit Tangkou's economic ability.

The Chinese no longer crowded into the triangle of Mott Street, Disclosure Street, and Bourie Street, but began to disperse throughout New York.

Chinese restaurants and laundry rooms also rely more on white patrons, which makes them no longer dependent on community organizations such as Tangkou for their living conditions.

Chinese businesses are increasingly dependent on non-Chinese customers who follow them into the communities where they live and work.

Although the fan stall and duck slice have always been there, under the crackdown of the Great Depression and the police, Tangkou has no intention of fighting.

On the other hand, there was the change in the situation, with certain measures that allowed the Tammoni Society to reduce its influence on New York, and the corruption in the municipal government to be effectively controlled.

It can be seen that there are multiple reasons for the disappearance of Tangdou, the most important reason is that the concept and lifestyle of the Chinese people have begun to change, and the high cost of violent crime has gradually disappeared.

A new generation of Chinese, born in the United States, are more receptive to the ugly Chinese way of life, speak English as their mother tongue, and are reluctant to join the factional struggles of Chinatown.

However, the large-scale battle between Dongxing and Anliang Chamber of Commerce still allowed the people to find the dark time of more than 10 years ago.

It was so miserable, it was too bloody, people were dying every day, there were gunshots every night, and every day Guangjitang could hear the wailing of brothers who had been wounded by gunshot wounds and knife wounds.

The pernicious effects of this struggle are not only from the dead and wounded, but also from the world of public opinion.

The criticism of the Chinese was finally quelled, and it was good that newspapers throughout New York and even the East were reporting on this large-scale fight.

Although the Atlantic Daily is trying to downplay its influence, it is difficult to turn it around after the formation of a public opinion offensive, at least many of which can be reversed by the words of one family.

From the beginning of the battle, there were dead people every day on the Dongxing side, sometimes one or two, sometimes seven or eight, and now nearly 20 brothers have died.

But they all know that this is just the beginning.

The Anliang Chamber of Commerce is rich and wealthy, and after the background, it has not been tired at all.

As for Dongxing, it has gradually shown its decline, and they have a strong personal combat ability, and they often stage a 1-to-many show.

The Anliang Chamber of Commerce is not much better, but fortunately, there are many of them, and they don't seem to be tired.

Guangjitang, Long Ye personally went into battle to treat his brother's injuries, wiped his bloody hands with a wet towel, and sighed fiercely.

He didn't want such a situation to happen, but since it happened, he couldn't shirk it.
