What is the difference between Beijing old guns who often appear in TV series and Shanghai beach gangsters?

When it comes to Beijing’s Lao Pao’er, as a non-Beijing person, the first thing that comes to my mind is Mr. Liu (played by Feng Xiaogang) in Guan Hu’s movie “Lao Pao’er”. The first thing that comes to mind for Shanghai beach gangsters is the three major gangster leaders mentioned in history, Du Yuesheng, Huang Huangrong, and Zhang Xiaolin. So what is the difference between the two? Next, let’s take a look at the differences between the two. Beijing Lao Pao

In the film and television works of the Chang family outside, in addition to the image of Liu Ye in "Lao Pao'er", we also know the three middle-aged policemen in "Trident", Cui Tiejun (Chen Jianbin) ), Xu Guozhu (played by Dong Yong), Pan Jianghai (played by Hao Ping), these are also very typical images of old Paoer. There is also "Human Insect" from a TV series more than 20 years ago, which tells the story of "insects" from all walks of life in Beijing during the 20 years of my country's reform and opening up. Among them, Luo Yinshui (played by Li Chengru) is also an old gunner. Although these characters are all called veterans, everyone is different.

In "Old Paoer", Mr. Liu is an image of an old-school Beijing-style young and Dangerous boy. He abides by the moral principles of the world, and it seems that everything in the alley, big or small, is under his jurisdiction. Within the scope, Gudao Rechang was also trying to calm down the conflict between Lingshao'er and the urban management team leader Zhang. When his son was facing difficulties, he singled out the second generation of racing officials from other provinces to regain his self-esteem and sense of existence, but he still couldn't withstand the tide of the times.

The three old guns in "Trident" are middle-aged policemen who are about to retire. Because of a money laundering case, they got together again and used different methods to solve the problem. Handle cases. Although they are called "three coffee tables" by young people behind their backs, they still refuse to admit defeat. They don't understand high technology and new technologies. They drive a broken van that is about to be scrapped. They use their true skills honed in hard times to devote their last lives to their posts.

In "Human Bug", Luo Yinshui is an antique bug and a small person, but he also has his own principles of life. In an interview with reporter Liu Yida, Luo Yinshui said:

I believe in two things. One is not to break the law. As long as you don't break the law, people in official circles will not cause trouble for you. Second, don't be evil-minded and don't be afraid of using your brain to fight. Just don't always think about tricking others. If you befriend others, they will be friendly with you. If you have these two things, you will feel at ease, and life will not be sad when you feel at ease.

Luo Yinshui had experienced the founding of New China and had been depressed during the turmoil. He had enjoyed the spring breeze during the reform, but he had also faced layoffs and unemployment. However, no matter what he had experienced, he still had this The principles that he refuses to waver in his heart and his three views are still magnanimous. He is also a Beijing veteran. So what are Shanghai gangsters?

In the three hundred and sixty lines of old Shanghai, the powers were added up, they had both sides, and they became famous in Shanghai along the way. For these people, the common people give them a nickname called "rogue tycoons". When talking about gangster tycoons, the first three people we think of are Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong, and Zhang Xiaolin. Why do we think of them? Let’s first take a detailed look at what kind of people these people are.

The first is Du Yuesheng. Maybe everyone knows his legendary story. He started from scratch and became the godfather of the underworld. He was unambiguous in the face of national justice. When the 19th Route Army was fighting in Songhu, he supported the strength of the army. The biggest. But is he a good person? Not really. The materials he used to support the army were actually obtained through plunder. Du Yuesheng has actually done none of these things, including extortion, forcing girls into prostitution, selling drugs, taking human life lightly, engaging in corruption, and trying to enrich the country.

The second is Huang Jinrong. In the 18th year of Guangxu's reign (1892), he served as a private detective in the patrol room of the French Concession. He was later promoted to detective, inspector, and finally the only Chinese inspector general of the police force. Huang Jinrong relied on imperialist power to recruit disciples in Shanghai and oppressed the people. In 1927, he, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin and others actively supported and participated in the "April 12" coup launched by Chiang Kai-shek. It can be said that he does evil things and does many evil things. But he did not do anything against national justice.

The third one is Zhang Xiaolin. Zhang Xiaolin is different from Du Yuesheng and Huang Huangrong. He is not only a gangster who has done the same bad things as Du Yuesheng and Huang Huangrong, but he also hurts the national sentiment and is a traitor who surrenders to the enemy. A big traitor. In 1937, the Japanese invaders launched the August 13th Incident. Zhang Xiaolin openly surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor. They vigorously suppressed anti-Japanese and national salvation activities, purchased grain, cotton, coal, medicine and other strategic materials for the Japanese invaders, and greatly enriched the country. What is the difference between the two?

In the past, the reason why Lao Pao'er was called Lao Pao'er was because of the people who often went in and out of Paoju Hutong. The original detention center in Beijing was in Paoju Hutong. People who often caused trouble and entered the detention center would say that they were "Pao'er" It came out of it, hence the name "Lao Pao'er".

Now, Lao Pao'er is close to a complimentary term. Guan Hu believes that the term "Lao Pao'er" has a new meaning: "It refers to industry elites and professionals.

In many film and television works, although the images represented by Lao Pao'er are different, their similarities can also be found. Then they all have their own principles, although they usually look like He is careless, but he will never be ambiguous when it comes to things, and he will not bully men and women or do some shameful things. I believe that many people also respect Lao Paoer.

The Shanghai gangsters represented by Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin and Huang Jinrong are the kind of gangsters who are involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, and do things to oppress the people. They are miserable in their later years, but I also think they deserve it.
