We need more Cantonese content nowadays? Need to normalize our language and that mandarin is not the ONLY mainstream Chinese language. Loving the content keep it up and congrats on 10K! 💪
I completely agree with this as someone whose second language is Cantonese, and feels that this language is rapidly shrinking in terms of venues in which it’s spoken.
Leave it to the hak seh wuy to keep canto alive!
Whoever told you not to speak Cantonese?
There's a whole region in China Gouzhou that speak cantonese. I don't think it will die.
@@suuudo as long as they understand no maynay im not tripping
Cantonese is not a language it is a dialect , get that right
Thank you so much for using Cantonese to share your stories with us! My family is Cantonese and I love learning about your unique experiences while practicing the language. I really appreciate all that you do :)
Thank you for seeing the value in our project.
The OGs speaking Cantonese is so captivating to listen to. You can only truly understand the lifestyle and culture listening to the language they communicated in. Definitely need more Cantonese content from these guys.
Whoever did the subtitles did a fantastic job.
🤣🤷♂️
@@sidesideful hella good job come to SF guys we got a HUGE Cantonese community here
This has to be the best upload by far. The stories are better than watching a movie. Hoping more like these are on the way. Thank you.
I had to pause around 20mins into the video. As an ABC, the subtitles are dam spot on. I mean, my Canto has degraded over the years, but watching this and reading the subtitles brought back so much of the vocabulary that I lost...one love y'all and stay safe...
Thank You for Cantonese. Big head is gifted in story telling, paints a picture with his words. The essence of this channel is to preserve/record history then letting these guys speak in their native language goes a long way. More Macau underworld and Hong Kong showbiz stories 🙏 please
Congrats on 10k Mike! This canto version definitely gives it a completely different vibe, love it! Keep the content coming brother 🤝 🧧🐲
This is so good! love cantonese ones and the HK stories from Bighead! these are awesome - could listen all day
Really interesting to hear all the stories. Bighead being accosted by GS outside of school was kind of funny to hear because it’s straight out of so many old movie plots. And every crew has a quiet calculated guy like Speed. Great job with the subtitles, very easy to read and well written. Thumbs up!
Excited to watch this, I think it'll help me learn some Canto too. Shoutout to Mike, Bighead, Speed, and Kenny keep them coming!
Looking forward to this boys ! Keep up the great work. Regards from the Uk 🇬🇧 Cantonese 👏🏻
這段故事我相當感興趣 2020年 我去了一趟New Jersey 投靠親戚打疫苗 看到China Mac 當時在做反歧視華人運動 對於他相當佩服 因此在Chinatown 待了好幾天 去看了很多公所 也了解到這段歷史
謝謝你 梅警官 願意把這些記錄下來👍
你哋願意用廣東話說出呢段歷史真係好重要 加油！
Thank you so much Paul for supporting our channel from all of us at CGS! Stay safe! 👍👍👍
Awesome segment. Would love to hear more from Speed and other FDs in the future
Congratulations on 10k subscribers! This is becoming my favorite channel.
This is Golden! Great Work!
Congrats on the 10k subs! Looking forward to reading this all the way through.
Wow I really like these type of content. Especially when Big Head share his story in cantonese, I'm glued to my tablet and volume all the way up.
Yes thank you, so important, more recordings of the elders speaking in chinatown cantonese. So important to preserve cantonese language and culture
Mike congrats on 10k subs!! These videos are best when spoken in Canto.
Interesting & crazy stories, good stuff!
Loving the content, keep it up!!!
Congrats on 10K subscribers.... Jimmy (Bighead) should consider writing a book.... Very interesting.... ✌🏼
Wow!!!! So the 3 leaders of flying dragons, ghost shadow, tung on were classmates and part of the same crew under uncle 7 and eventually split to start their own thing. Amazing history.
Fascinating piece of history for sure, I'm glad we have that out and not taken to the grave.
Uncle Seven really was the Godfather of Chinatown, living up to his title.
@@Alex_From_CGS i never heard of uncle 7!!! more content would be great 🙏
@@Alex_From_CGS need more story on
uncle 7
@@jameshwang8267 Will speak to Mike about it.
Xebec and his crew of whitebeard, kaido, and big mom
I'm new to this channel. I go to chinatown in NYC all the time. I love the stories behind it. Now I look at the places differently.
Great story's guys keep it up. Big head has definitely been around his story's are so interesting. He knows a lot of stuff about the Hong Kong triads 👍
Congratulations ! 10k sub ! Keep up yall , get 100k soon !
Wonderful content! Especially love the Cantonese version which is 100% original gangstar
Please keep doing Cantonese videos with English subtitles like this. I don’t speak Cantonese but I really like these guys’d first hand accounts
Big head is a great storyteller! I couldn’t stop laughing with his sawed off shotgun story and his black trench coat that was made famous by Mark Gor / Chow yun fat in A Better Tomorrow. Great english subtitles and translations BTW. The Chan Wai Man story and his yellow corvette was hilarious too!
i laughed when he said all he knows is "yes, no, fuck you" lol
香港聽眾有得聽番廣東話順暢好多，聽下啲大哥係美國當年如何生存既故事同往事good show👍
Thank you, please share Bighead's videos with your family and friends in Hong Kong!
大頭哥上兩次訪問講賭同佢中槍經歷好警世，唔好賭錢同江湖路險會面對生命危險
Great to hear in Cantonese. 10 of us here in singapore watching together , all former heng tai when younger . Amazing that chinese around the world has similar life experiences .
Love the long uploads! Love to just sit and listen to the stories, Cantonese is perfect with subs, they able to express so much more and there is so much more depth, even with the cussing 🤣 respect 🫡
非常精彩的经历。这期讲得很好，可以每期都像这样详细的讲吗？
10k congratulations 🎊 👏
CGS always deliver 🔥🔥🔥
As an Italian my Cantonese ain't was used to be . But hearing Big head talking about "fai Go" Clifford and Tony Ng brings so many memories. Big head and uncle Dai were at house for July 4th 1987 with all the big players including Uncle Benny for a Mah Jong and dominoes game that placed about 15 mil on dining room table .
congratz on the 10k, 50k next soon
加油！支持你！ 真的很喜歡看也謝謝你們的分享❤
Would be awesome to hear more from Speed - definitely seems brainy, would like to hear more about his experiences
YEAH👏👏👏最想睇你哋用廣東話做訪問🤜🤛👍👍👍👍
Great to see Bighead back. 啲故事夠晒經典
正呀,支持!
Love the content. Love it in Cantonese too
Wow thanks for breaking it down in Canto
Love these stories!! I remember coming to usa in the 90s and lived in Philadelphia and heard them Chinatown gang n BTK! It would be epic if there’s interview of ex BTK!
It’s funny how kids who get bullied in Chinatown don’t intentionally becomes gangster to survive the streets. Bighead is very smart and understand the true essence Chinatown gang drama. If he was not in a gang, I could see him being a successful businessman! They all have something in common and that’s to protect all Chinese people against bullies and discrimination. All 80s Chinese kids struggled to get representation and respect therefore gang life was the only option.
if only chinatown today had the same people the elders wouldnt be bullied and beat up by the blacks...
Bravo 10k!
Great video as always. Did big head say he met Chan wai man ? Something about a fight over his corvette? Some guy beat him as well?
Congrats 👏
Perfect I wanted to hear them speak their stories in cantonese!
Such a good story to tell about gangster in the 70’s back in the old days. The Ghost Shadows, Flying Dragons, Tung On and the BTK have a history to tell. Gang stories, gang wars and making money is in the old days.
Y’all should tap in with San Francisco Chinatown! Would love to hear these stories but from the west coast
10k subs! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
大头哥 legendary! 👍 can make a whole movie out his stories .
Don’t be a dumbass, these are the assholes that terrorized our neighborhood , they cheat and took money form the elderly with scam and beat up ppl.
Very interesting!
Doing it in the mother tongue Respect!
Can you put the caption script of what is said in the description?
English subtitles are available under "cc" on the video.
May be you can provide some history about the White and Black Eagles, the kwan ying, chun yee tong (14K) back in the late 60's. I used to fight some of the Eagles on Mott and I hung with some kwan ying and others before I got drafted in 68, then I became a LEO like you did up in CT with the local and state. Detective Ming Li from the 5th squad was a friend of mine.
I met Ming Li back in the days. Glad you turned out fine. We will cover those stories on this channel
@@chinatowngangstories Thanks buddy. Detective Patrick Lee also is a friend of mine, Wei Lau and some of the old timers. I am still doing Federal and State investigation on my second career and should be retire again next year, 25 as a cop and 25 as investigator. Too long!!
Hello I'm from Myanmar (Burma)
and Chinese Burmese myself.
Even in my country there was
a lot of Triads are here also.
There is 14k, Wo guys and Sun Yee On in Yangon's (my city) Chinatown .
My grandfather is also connected and memeber of Wo society here.
Even Burmese locals gangs
did not interfere in Chinatown.
We don't go to their business and
they stay away from us(but certainly know each other and do some business together)
Uncle Mike. You need to work on the mic volume a bit. Very hard to hear them speak when they sit so far away. Thanks
Whats the name of that HK dai lo Big Head mentioned that was a Tai Chi champion? Very interesting story!
Your channel is doing well, youtube is putting an ad on like every 5 to 10 min 😂
蘇龍 So Long. Muay Thai Instructor.
Thai boxing as in Muay Thai not Tai Chi....
蘇龍，香港泰拳協會主席，唔係太極
i been pushin hard for canto this whole time and mike got da msg. shout out to mike.

Great story
真的親切，多謝
It’s going to be interesting to hear some stories about the San Francisco tongs
Yes please. More vids in Cantonese!
望返轉頭, 好感慨....人生如戲 😆
Big head is legit a goat storyteller like he’s so good at it he could have a career doing it
Always ❤
Big head Jimmy seems to be friends with everyone. Did he hangout with White Tigers back in the 80’s?
Btw, Congrats on 10k subscribers!
Yes, I am friends with all the WT
Yes…Tung On and White Tigers were friends.
Have you ever considered making a museum in VRChat for people to go to with all the stories?
Keep these sit downs in Cantonese 💯
Love the Cantonese episodes!
Loved the part when they talked about chan wai man and his corvette
My dad used to go to school and grew up with uncle man..
Soccer club coach was Mr. Ng . I was part of original group team. I was only 13 then. They did have that interest intention helping youths stay out the street try doing good things after school. Of course, there always fell bad apples within the group causing the whole club bad name. Miss identifies happens all the times. Some of us get pick out on street. Back cops don’t know who is good or bad . They just take you in station house for questioning. No issues no file records they let you go. Still stay in touch with all the old timers . Truth , we did played many times with Hong Kong celebrity team back in 80’s with Alan Tam and his crews. Alan was pretty good player when we play them. All for good causes friendships charity.
There were many organizations trying to help the Chinese Youth to stay away from gangs. After school, many youths worked at factories and/or restaurants. Others who were more fitness oriented played sports and did whatever we could to stay away. I also remember Sammy from Chinatown Life. A lone Italian man who had nothing but love for the Chinese youth. He is a good guy. Shout out to all those that tried to help.
@@yogitam2372 I remember him well also. Great guy he had help many young youths in many different ways. Some of old gangsters respected him also. As long as you willing stay out of trouble of gangs . Sam will make efforts to help you. Sam also had his relatives in Italian mafias. But he keep himself low key.
I LOVE your necklace ~
好亲切👍
they are so much relaxed and candid in Cantonese
I know its hard for talking alive ppl , but I would like to hear more story about Dai Lo in hong kong , such as 'ghost tim' , 'sai b' , 'tai lon ', 'tun mun fai kit' .And other gang such as 'jai jai' in yuan long ,' etb' , '何澤' , '黐線勇' . And Big Head's Ferrari .
Hey Big Head, do you have a picture of your Ferrari and your Porsche
好正
Hope all the viewers can join to the gangs sooner 😂
雖然我係大陸人 但都非常想了解哩d過往歷史 十分感謝
I guess this was recorded on the same day as the live stream about a month ago.
45:28 this is where there clouds open up and speed (middle guy) says his first words. 🤭
To turn on subtitles. Slightly tap screen. An overlay will appear. Select the box that has CC in it.
This video and chan yee pretty much advocates for Cantonese as a social binder. That probably tied everyone together uniquely bcuz of the fluidity and camaderie in Cantonese. It's a shame to lose it.
紀寶 I've heard stories from my dad also some stories about 九叔 ...
More Wai Man stories please
Coming
Any stories about connections with asian gangs from Toronto. Just like new york toronto had alot of asian gang from the 80s to 90s
Yes, coming soon on this channel
hella good job come to SF guys we got a HUGE Cantonese community here
Can you please let Big Head know that if he can share some of the Hong Kong action scenes such as Tsim Sha Tsui Fei Lung 新義安尖沙咀飛龍，及不同大佬
Yes we hong konger really expecting hear more story about Dai Lo in hong kong , such as 'ghost tim' , 'sai b' , 'tai lon ', 'tun mun fai kit' .And other gang such as 'jai jai' in yuan long ,' etb' , '何澤' , '黐線勇' .
Canto is so much more natural.
I like how no matter where Chinese speakers are from or what dialect they speak, the nicknames are all the same
During that time everyone has a story why they join the gang,also I think the fallout between 志輝and老科besides the the dragon head in Pell street also about the gambling house in Davidson street back in 77 and 78,don't hold me for it lol that's what I hear.
Please post more in Cantonese
More more Cantonese content please
Most heartfelt moment 46:58 - Kenny apologizes on GS's behalf for ruining Bighead and Speed's future. Were it not for GS, they might have not sought out and entered into the gangs for protection. Kenny's prayer gesture for forgiveness and the high five he gives Speed is so cathartic.
Funniest moment 48:05 - Bighead laments about his crew's lack of muzzle discipline and attention to firearm safety.
Where the subtitles ?
Bighead has a gift for words
Thiz shit is fkin awesome
