Why was Du Yuesheng so sad in his later years? The fourteen words of the old Taoist priest turned out to be a fact

There is a powerful figure in the modern history of China. His name is Du Yuesheng. He was born in Pudong New Area in 1888. He went from being an inconspicuous and poor person to becoming a gang leader who has the right to speak in the underworld. In 1927, Huang Huangrong, Zhang Xiaolin, and Du Yuesheng were collectively known as the "Three Tycoons", and among the three tycoons, Du Yuesheng was good at dealing with people and was all-around well-rounded.

With his own ability and courage, he can conquer everything up and down. He quickly became a master of both the black and white circles, and he was also able to deal with the business, military and political circles with ease and orderly. It has even developed finance, industry, journalism, education and other fields, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.

From 1927 to 1937, Du Yuesheng's career reached its peak. When China resisted Japan's all-out war of aggression against China, Du Yuesheng left Shanghai and went to Hong Kong and then to Chongqing because he refused to join the Japanese. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng wanted to return to Shanghai. As the general representative of the civil gang, he attempted to reap the rewards of his old gang and make a comeback. But at this time, his golden age of answering every call no longer existed.

After cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party to obtain the fruits of victory in the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek was not polite to Du Yuesheng after gaining control of Shanghai. He regarded his good friend Du Yuesheng as a key target of suppression, especially his eldest son Chiang Ching-kuo. He took the lead in the "Tiger Hunt" operation and imprisoned Du Yuesheng's youngest son, Du Weiping. Completely disregarding the sentiments of the past. Slogans such as "Down with the evil forces!" and "Down with Du Yuesheng!" can be seen everywhere.

Faced with this series of suppression, Du Yuesheng couldn't help but lament: "The past golden age of having everything you want and responding to everything is gone forever."

In 1949, Du Yuesheng made up his mind. To stay away from this whirlpool of the storm, I will neither settle in Shanghai nor return to Taiwan, but plan to settle in Hong Kong. On May 1, 1949, after bidding farewell to his die-hard business partner Huang Jinrong, the last Du Mansion on Kennedy 18 was captured by Du Yuesheng who arrived in Hong Kong City.

In 1950, Du Yuesheng, who fled from Shanghai to Hong Kong, collapsed from exhaustion on the way and contracted asthma. When the illness broke out, his forehead was covered with veins, his clothes were wet with sweat, and he fainted several times. He took medicine, injections, and smoke, but he didn't get better. He looked for doctors everywhere to see a doctor, and he took more and more medicine.

His condition has not improved at all and is still getting worse. Du Yuesheng already needs to rely on an oxygen mask for maintenance. He is accompanied by some oxygen masks and oxygen tanks, so he can only stay in the house. Because she often cannot do without oxygen tanks, there are countless oxygen tanks outside Du Yuesheng's bedroom. Many doctors who came to see Du Yuesheng for the first time were surprised to see this phenomenon.

At this time, Du Yuesheng noticed that his health was getting worse day by day, but he was still positive and optimistic. He began to believe in Yi Xue and metaphysics. He often said: "Tao is not an ordinary Tao, it is the mystery of all things in the universe." When Du Yuesheng was young, he once met a Taoist priest who told him his fortune, saying that he would make a difference in the future and become a distinguished person. Sure enough, Du Yuesheng became the "Tu Emperor" of Shanghai, so he believed in the fortune teller's predictions.

Even a good man is afraid of illness. Entering 1951, Du Yuesheng was tortured by the disease and was in great pain and was discouraged. Despite this, at the age of 63, he still tried his best to live. Du Yuesheng, who was eager to live, decided to ask an old Taoist priest to tell his fortune to know how many years he had left.

In June 1951, Du Yuesheng found out that there was a great old Taoist priest in Taiwan Province of China named "Jiu Xiguan Master". It was rumored that this Taoist had uncanny calculations and foresight, and was known as "Wolong", " Liu Bowen". Du Yuesheng knew that asking an old Taoist priest for a fortune would not yield the truth, so he anonymously sent a letter with his birth date and horoscope to the "Owner of June Xiguan".

It didn't take long for the "June Hall Master" to receive the letter, but he didn't know whose birth date it was, so after carefully deducing it, he quickly sent a reply to Du Yuesheng. The old Taoist priest "Master of June Rest Hall" only wrote fourteen words in the letter: "At the age of sixty-four, you will eliminate this disaster."

The Year of the Rabbit is 1951, and Du Yuesheng's imaginary age is exactly 64. The old Taoist priest "Master of the Sixth Month" speculated that Du Yuesheng would never live past the age of 64.

After receiving the fourteen-word reply from the old Taoist priest, it was like giving Du Yuesheng a blow in the head, reminding him that he did not have much time left. Suddenly, Du Yuesheng's psychological defense collapsed, and he fell to his knees on the spot, grieving. Unable to stop, he lay on the hospital bed day after day.

The fourteen words written by the old Taoist priest hit Du Yuesheng like every bullet, making him miserable and depressed. He could not help but give in to the worst plan and no longer think about it. I continue to fight against the disease. In the summer of 1951, Du Yuesheng, who was constantly suffering from illness, began to explain his funeral arrangements and distribute his inheritance.

He no longer wanted to manage other things, and all the arrangements fell on Lu Jingsheng. He no longer had expectations for life, was not interested in anything, and just wanted to lie down in peace. Waiting in bed for death to come. On the afternoon of August 16, 1951, less than 24 hours before his 64th birthday, Du Yuesheng closed his eyes forever at the age of 63 and passed away.

After Du Yuesheng passed away, his eldest son Du Weifan said sadly: "At the end of 1950 and the beginning of 1951, my father even improved against the disease and was positive and optimistic about life. But soon, 'June' passed away. After the Lord's reply came, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. My father was unable to recover and lost his last yearning for life."
