  • This is a biography of a Chinatown gangster from the late 1800s and early 1900s named Situ Meitang 司徒美堂. Situ was a tong leader & head of the Ghee Kung Tong aka Chinese Freemasons in America. He wasnt a typical gangster, he had friends at the highest of society Like FDR & Mao.

    I like crime stories, I love Chinese culture and history. Politics are inherently necessary this boss was amazing. A unique individual. Chinese have always had a tough time, I'm glad he was able to live out his life through turbulent times and remain a significant character.

    The man was part of a Chinese association that prides itself on protecting Chinese people during a century where Chinese people were treated like dogs. He was able to live through the Korean War and the revolution where the unequal treaties were revoked and China was able to stand up against Imperialism through armed force and came out on top. His nationalist dream was probably granted in his later years.

    Wait. I am not sure if I heard right. Was there a gang leader named "Weary Charles"? That's a sick name, dude

    How could he be friends with Mao? That boggles my mind, unless it's about self preservarion and protecting his family. What Mao did is unforgivable, and now Xi is greatly leaping backward. It's so sad and scary, Chinese people deserve so much better.

    JFYI... 48 48 = 4+8 4+8 which equals 12 12 ...which then ultimately breaks down to 1+2 1+2 ... Thus 33 lol

    Never heard of this guy , but he obviously was a very powerful man to not have a criminal record & operate in the times of Alcapone in America.
    No doubt FDR was in his pocket.

      Situ Meitang was Freemason, that’s all you need to know about why FDR got involved with him.

    I'm always blowned away with my Chinese history 😉😎
    My family is rich and poor from hong Kong, we don't talk much about the past, because they are shamed from most of it. I know my grandfather ran in the streets and was partly homeless while hanging with triads
