My family grew up in triad heartlands of hk back in its golden age. They told me they always kept the local area safe and in those days it was near impossible to do anything without dealing with the triad. They also told me many were pretty open and did plenty of dealings in plain view because they were never going to be busted, its also a message to everyone that if you want to to business you go to them. As for cops who are triad, a relative of mine dated one, my father was a kid back then and he would go to restaurants with him knowing it was free food, he never had to pay a cent and in the local shops he could help himself to anything. My family were poor migrants from mainland china in those days. A lot of triad members were from poor families, many were illiterate as were a great deal of people back then. My parents would say to me "they are just trying to get by and make ends meet" I was born decades later so i never saw those days myself but even though my parents were not fans of the triad, they understood well that at the time they were a necessary evil especially in certain areas of hk in the 50s and 60s And all cops were corrupt those days, they were given an envelope all the time in their office draws Paramedics were corrupt, nurses were corrupt, firemen were corrupt etc You don't give tea money? No bed in the hospital No tea money to firefighters? Theres no water today etc I guess it got way too out of hand and people were fed up eventually Of course the triad do exist, but they keep a much lower profile Of course they still have their traditional businesses but the real money is from the legit ones! Extortion fees, well now they have formed traders associations and i guess if you don't pay your cafes next shipment may be rotten I would have personally met some lower ranking ones as a kid but i guess i never thought much of it at the time
Idc what anyone says, my favorite action films are the Hong Kong flicks that John Woo and Chow Yun Fat did- Hard Boiled most notably which spawned the highly underrated PS3 video game, Stranglehold which if you look at the game is essentially Hard Boiled put on a video game. Ill never forget purchasing it for 5 bucks at a Gamestop and the guy working that day said it was a crappy game but for action fans like me, best investment i ever made lol.
stranglehold is a great game, calling it a crappy game is the same as saying max payne is a crappy game to me. I had a lot of fun playing stranglehold on xbox360.
@QuattroSG the next time I went back and that same guy was there I told him Idk what made you think stranglehold was a crappy game but that was the best game I ever played on that system at the time
ah, the triads... back in hong kong's golden era, everyone knew someone connected to the triads. they were, to the older generation, a necessary evil within society. many of the modern-day groups were originally workers unions; my great-grandfather was the "dragon-head" for one of the unions in the letterpressing industry (pre-cursor to modern printing press industry). and even into the 60s/70s, due to family business and certain ties, my family was protected by two major groups: the 14k and wo hop to. to this day any remaining elders in those groups are actually close family friends. when the ma brothers were exiled to taiwan, they basically told every triad that my grandfather was not to be touched, and they were to protect him. its all old history now, that world is gone. a lot of these old gangsters are either dead or about to die. but many of them also represented the golden age of hong kong's economic boom and success, even if its from the underground. and that's something i've come to respect about these elders.
@@lovenlightmanMany didn't want their children involved, they knew the life and wanted their children to be in more respectable fields My family were from a very triad controlled area of hk, they always tell me "don't judge them too much, many of them just wanted to make ends meet in difficult times"
When I was in high school, I was obsessed with John Woo HK crime movies and things that were influenced by him (like movies by directors like Ringo Lam or anime like Cowboy Bebop or Black Lagoon) so this is a very informative video to me.
I'm new to your channel and all I got to say is your videos are top-notch from what I've seen. I plan to get into the Like A Dragon/Yakuza series and I'm in the process of writing a fanfiction series set in the universe but following a different main character.
How the Triad could get a foothold in HK is simple and it's one factor and one factor alone... Money. Back then during the 40s-70s, HK was developing but the government controlling the streets of HK, particularly the police, were woefully underpaid and not only was the Chinese cops feeling it, the British that was sent to HK also felt it. Thus, the Triads got to work, expanded their business thru whatever ways they can lay their hands on money and during the 60s with the boom of the Golden Triangle, drug trafficking thru the area was rampant and easy thus Triads start pedaling high grade heroin to the streets and made bank with it. Then to prevent themselves from being caught in an unavoidable hole called "prison", many big bosses started ploys to pay off the cops with money, more cash per month than to some cops, 6 months of their original pay at their rank thus almost 70% of HK police were bought out by various organizations and some even willingly worked for the Triads for various reasons be it for more money, cohersion or simply because they want their banks to keep running. Also, you brought up Lui Lok which was the point I was gonna make. Lui Lok wasn't a 14K inducted member but he had crossed paths with them and even other Triad gangs across HK and noticed that killing each other for a plot of land and for that little bit of profit wasn't worth it and sending officers to arrest them with the risk of them losing their lives was even worse plus officers were reluctant to go for their pay being peanuts. Lui Lok then hatched a plan to get one of the biggest drug distributor of HK at that time which was Cripple Ho, Ng Sik-ho, to wrestle their way with the other Triad that they're only allowed to get goods from one source, sell it, then peddle at their places with a controlled price so that everyone gets fed and no trouble would occur and if one place sells it higher or lower than the set price over the deviated limit, heavy Triad punishment would be set upon them regardless how high of a position they were in be it the police or Triad organizations. Because of that, HK suddenly saw fewer violence going around whereas cops were buying luxury goods and stuff which was way above their paygrades that even the British were pocketing money from Lui Lok and his cronies to keep quiet about the whole organized crime situation. It wasn't until ICAC came about that his whole empire came crumbling down.
@@nathanworthington4451 Idiotic comment. There's nothing obvious about the exact sequence of events.Take a look at how long it took for a HK police force to understand the organisational nature of the triads or how many years officers had to be undercover before any high ranking arrests could happen.
I love your Yakuza videos and i respect the Triads also We need more Yakuza vs Triad movies This is why the movie First Love is one of my favorite movies its one of the only Yakuza vs Triad movies
In real life its nowhere near as glamourous as in the movies They were respected out of fear in most cases. Whilst they may have served a purpose for a time, they should be glamourised, they did many horrible things and exploited the poor
also charles heung had himself been acting in many movies, usually as supporting characters... one of the most iconic ones would be as chow yun fat's bodyguard in "god of gamblers" and many of its subsequent sequels and spin offs
I love the mythology of the Triads originating from secret societies dedicated to overthrowing the monarchy. It’s a pretty cool and romantic origin story, even if it most-likely isn’t true.
They started to overthrow the ching dynasty. Not the British monarchy. Hence they are associated with the saying throw away the ching bring back the ming. Which was not 2000yrs ago
It sounds more believable when you realize that : "Ocerthrow the monarchy" Didnt really mean overthrow the monarchy at all, but instead kick the foreign barbarians out of power and restorw the old dynasty. Or Fan qing, fu ming. Fan qing means destroy the qing dynasty Fu ming means restore the ming dynasty. Then again i could indeed be wrong and ignorant while mixing two different concepts from China. However, i wouldnt doubt if the British i. HONG Kong are the legendary founders of those specific overthrow the monarchy societies. At least as the money men, the idea men, and most importantly the inspiration. I am sure that it was much more spoken about, and much more well known thw further back one goes that the European monarchies were overthrown by secret societies. How those secret society members would roll in their graves at large multinational companies and private funds purchasing everything and leaving the common man nothing but possibly franchises. To them it would be the monarchy reborn in a new form i would think.
@@Renwoxing13 getting rid of the ching and restoring the ming has nothing to do with the western foreigners. The manchus were like 10% of the population who ruled over the 90% Han Chinese during the ching. If you mean barbarians as in the manchus, then yeh but if you mean as in westerners this would be wrong. The restoration of the ming was because it was one of the greatest periods in Chinese history. The ching were responsible for binding the feet of women, are other stuff. I remember seeing a very old lady in the 80s with bound feet. Will never forget it. Terrible thing to do to a child
@@SR-pr2xz Sorry you got me confused. My post was related to two seperare periods and concepts. Maybe I didn't iterate it clear enough. The western powers involvement was reffering more to the warlords era, and the hk triads. Not the fan qing fu ming era concept.
@@Renwoxing13 the triads (modern form) started with the intent to overthrow the ching and restore the ming. Originally supporters and safe houses placed guan yu gong on display to show their support where the subversives could take refugee and obtain financial support. This evolved into collecting protection money from restaurants, etc. This period overlaps the rise of the nationalists who weren't advere to a bit of protection, corruption, etc. But they are two distinct things even though both sort to overthrow the ching
😂 oh the Japanese sold opium to keep the Chinese down 😂 but no mention of the fact that the only reason hk became a British colony is that the British just wouldn’t stop selling opium to the Chinese

It may have been mentioned already but a fact check is in order: You can't get out of a prison sentence on bail. Limpy Ho was clearly granted compassionate release, which is common worldwide for prisoners suffering terminal illness.
@@bix05001 nothing to do with the mainlanders. In the old days, the derogatory term for mainlanders by most HKers was Tai Look Tsi. Bug green boys. Mainlanders have their own gangs.

Wasn't there also a triad member that stared in several movies as the leader. Turns out he was to focused on his Career though and only became the number two in the triad not the boss of it
i always wonder how lui lok was able to amass such a huge fortune given his rank in the police force wasn't super high by modern rank equivalent he was just a station sergeant (his official rank at the time was detective sergeant I) like if you're making more money than the superintendants and upper british brass... something is not adding up. the commissioner was getting suitcases full of money delivered to his home fore pete sakes.
something i dont know if the autor of the video has knowledge of is that in chinese culture the number 4(similar to the numbr 13 in my culture) is the means of bad omens. Maybe that has somthing to do with why the triads use it.
I live in Northern California and there are quite a number of Triad owned businesses in my city. They're pretty common but you learn to spot them and, you know, be polite.
for the longest time the population of Hong Kong was quite Small, it didn't start exploding untill the warlord era, Japanese invasion and civil war, with mass influx of Chinese into the territory
Hey im generally interested if Yakuza and any Triads/Tongs clashed? it seems there were some issues between the two in Japan, but that's probably due to different groups working with different gumis. Do you guys know of recorded clash? I would imagine they would hate each other because of the animosity between the two groups and due to Yakuza being very nationalistic (yes, I know most Yakuza heads are of Korean stock...the irony, heh? )
Whenever i hear 3rd world people waxing nostalgic about how great British colonialism was, i just smh… this video literally mentions opium trade without talking about ENGLAND being the biggest opium dealers in world history, lol this guy is saying the Japanese used opium to keep china weak and passive and addicted, but as far as the Brits, he only says the British colonials outlawed opium too hastily after World War 2, making illegal opium trading more profitable for triads… so hilarious to hear such a selective retelling of history … talking about the origins of British Hong Kong without mentioning the fact that the reason England took over Hong Kong in the first place was just to make more money from their illegal opium trade while decimating Chinese society and killing untold millions of people…
