By far this is one of the best episodes, its like a "History of Tung On 101" class. Like those who understand cantonese, listening to him speak in regular cantonese sounds more authentic and natural. Looking forward to more vids like this from other speakers.
I'm glad I found this channel a couple months ago. Great content keep up the great work! Bighead reminds me of my uncle Joe who has since passed. I can close my eyes and his voice reminds me exactly of him. Fond memories being a kid in the gambling dens and everybody giving me 🧧 all the time lol
Afternoon Gentlemen, have found it very useful and interesting, always have a open mind about life, love both of these memories you both are just chilling
It’s really informative, I grew up knowing the names because my parents would talk about them from the news papers and never let me walk down there but seeing the faces really changes everything. It’s sad to see the pain in Bigheads eyes when he recalls the decline and eventual end to everything.
Totally fascinating!! . I always look forward to new videos. It doesn't matter how long they are, they always get watched, then I feel sad that there's no more. Are you ever going to do anything on the Pell Street ABC crew? Would be super interesting to hear stories from that side of the street.
Subscribed!! Great video and thanks for sharing!! Also next time can you invite Wu Zi Mu over for an episode? He owns a pretty big casino in Las Venturas…
@@chinatowngangstories I’ve heard before many HK celebrities are connected with the triads… I was hoping he would drop some names who was doing the coke lol😅
this is the best video for real , i really like big head in cantonese , i hope there will be more story about big head, btw what do big head do for living now ?
Im born in hk i remember my young years always san yee on in tuen mun fighting with another gang. Love the stories and experiences you guys had in your young years
Big head was bad kid growing up. He chose his own path in life. He seems like a righteous and honourable man. No judgement on what he did in the past. Is the gentleman with the suit a former gang associate? I think big head said he is a cop now…How did he change his life around? Great content and great interview!
Awesome video! I just wanted to point out that the subtitles mentioned cocaine going for $50,000 a unit when it should have been $500,000. That better explains how Jimmy was able to live so lavishly for so many years in HK.
Big Head is probably the most knowledgeable about NYC Chinatown organized crime. Probably because he was such a high-ranking gangster. His stories are so detailed and interesting. I especially liked hearing about his dealings with Hong Kong celebrities.
Agree Big Head and Kenny are interesting and hope to have them talk more about the NYC AND HK triads scenes in Cantonese , it's like good Chinese gang history Channel. Keep up the good work!
Amazing video! . Can I make a suggestion? for videos that cover a specific gang or topic can we do a quick 1 min intro before going into the stories? example if this video is about Tung On, maybe give a brief 1 min overview of who the Tung On are, what era and what is Big heads role. Some of the viewers, myself included are new to these names.
Love this video! And especially the fact that it is in Cantonese, I had no issue reading the subtitles! I have a question....as far as the Chinese gangs in NYC during the 80s and 90s, it seems to me (I'm an 80s baby and grew up in Flushing and Bayside in the 90s) that they were dominated by Chinese from Hong Kong and Cantonese was the dominant spoken language among gang members. Excluding the Vietnamese and Korean gangs, all of the guys I knew associated with the Chinese gangs, they were either born in Hong Kong or their parent's immigrated here from Hong Kong and they all spoke Cantonese mainly. I knew there were some Fukienese gangs but to my experience I haven't really seen Chinese gangs filled with people who spoke the main Mandarin language. By and large the Chinese gangs were dominated by people from Hong Kong. Is this a fair and true statement?
We came to USA in Mid 90s. We just heard it is not safe back in 70 and 80s. I came across to interview about Steve Lee who is a former cop. You may interview him to compare former Manhattan Chinatown to modern Flushing Chinatown. Just a thought.
FYI....FU Gor (aka Paul Lai) used to take the TO guys to his motel in Albany to hide when there are issues. Agree that Fu Gor is a very nice guy. Chi Kueng and Chi Fai are brothers, so Chi Kueng does know SYO but not as close as Chi Fai....money talk. There is also a group called Fat Keung (HK and NYC Brooklyn) that is connected to 14K.
@@pakmei4690 Yes. I am not saying that the NYC Brooklyn branch is doing anything illegal, since a lot of those are kids learning kung fu, but the parent branch in HK is connected to the triad, which means the elder guys in the NYC branch also know them too.
Can you bring up stories regarding Chinatown Vans and Buses that operated there? How they operated? Is each line say 8th Avenue and Flushing etc are they operated by a certain gangs? Back when I was a kid I heard many gang fights with vans being destroyed by other companies like Fung Wah's vans being set on fire, their buses to Boston got set on fire. I would like to hear stories about the booming times that Chinatown was the mecca on transportation wars.
I know he is talking about the entertainment industry in HK and wondered if it is connect with Win's Entertainment. The Heung Brothers who were in charge, had ties to SYO.
DAI LO BIG HEAD LET"S GET IT, i'm a young boy but i hear stories from my older cousins of them getting into these troubles lol lucky i wasn't part of the time.
Back in the 90s when concerts were hot in chinatown bring top stars from HK to NJ for concert is a well orchestrated business. I appauled them for this as this is big money for the casinos and the crew. Can you explain why ticket prices are so high especially for HK singers coming to NJ to perform?
Did Jimmy distribute all 200 numbers he brought back from HK SYO? Did his successor do the same and kept the tradition going within T.O.? Also noticed most Chinatown gangs was accepting non-Asian members in the 90s. How did that affect the hierarchy within the organization?
Can Bighead corroborate on a gangland style killing between a merchant and furniture store owner nickname 小宝？ The store is located on Divison Street and neighboring The Tung On Associations . The time of this incident was late, 70s - early 80s. Thank you 👍
Sun Yee On Triad gave Bighead the authorization to recruit 200 people in the USA. The 200 new members will answer to Bighead and the Sun Yee On leaders.
@@chinatowngangstories yes yes yes ! sai b , i heard that he is the most powerful guy in hk right now .btw may u tell us about hk gang stories plz , thank you
Does your Dai Lo knows that you left and become a cop and if he knows would he be upset that you decided to become a cop and what happens if your unit ask you to go back to the gangs to be an undercover for them. How would you protect yourself from being undercover?
I know a friend of mine was NYPD, he transferred undercover to work with the fed. He infiltrated the Taiwanese gang back in the 80"s-90s. Many gang members knew him doing undercover.

Excellent translations man. Keep up the amazing work!
Can you talk about Tony Young former leader of LA Wah Ching
@@brucegreen5781 Are you referring to “Date” Mut Cho?

Only on this channel. Thank you for following
who is mike? Is he from a gang as well? Would love to hear Big head and mike talk about getting women in gangs.
Put translate on the you corner of video. Might not be exact but better than nothing. Gives you descent translation I think

BigHead is so articulate! He can be a radio host and one can hear the HK proficiency in his vernacular.
From uk london, loving these videos.

Thank you the videos. Brings back some memories. Great to hear in Cantonese.

金星開槍事件後不久，我行的船到New Haven, Connecticut, 船上幾個後生廿多歲的船員在晚上一齊去紐約唐人街食唐餐，當時條街好靜，都驚畀人點錯相在背後開槍，不過做得行船佬就乜都唔怕，入咗間唐人餐館食飯，個餐館老闆見我哋幾個年青力壯，不斷叫我哋留低做工，幫我哋搞身份，得啖笑，梗係唔制啦，當我哋鄉下嚟😀😀😂
This one is awesome. Love the cantonese version.
拍返集"組約唐入街風雲",呢的題材在任何年代,都有人睇,
Loving these Cantonese interviews!!!!
You guys should do an episode on Raymond chow of SF, great content

This would be true where ever you are East Coast, West Coast, UK, Amsterdam, Etc...
Funny story when bighead getting a haircut and confronted by two yungins not knowing who he was🤣🤣
I have to show this to my parents now.
I worked the Jacky concert back in 95 😂
More Bighead and Cantonese content pls
More to come, please share this channel with your friends and family in Hong Kong! 😊
Love the history
Great stories regarding br concert
So glad I understand Cantonese. Listening to this is like hearing the uncle elders in a triad talk.
bro how to write to you? I want to work with you
32:36 - 32:50 was Big Head referring to the Sunny from Wah Ching ? 🤔
講香港好好聽👍👍💪💪👍👍

I liked this very much.
This is a good one
Were the people from Cali he was referencing from Wah Ching?
FYI....FU Gor (aka Paul Lai) used to take the TO guys to his motel in Albany to hide when there are issues. Agree that Fu Gor is a very nice guy. Chi Kueng and Chi Fai are brothers, so Chi Kueng does know SYO but not as close as Chi Fai....money talk. There is also a group called Fat Keung (HK and NYC Brooklyn) that is connected to 14K.
Thanks for the context
Is Fat Keung related to Martial Art?
@@pakmei4690 Yes. I am not saying that the NYC Brooklyn branch is doing anything illegal, since a lot of those are kids learning kung fu, but the parent branch in HK is connected to the triad, which means the elder guys in the NYC branch also know them too.

Great interview as always! Are there any stories from Chicago?
Yes. One day we will cover NY’s link to Chicago
Oh snap, LT and LW? I used to hang out with them every now and then😂😂
DAI LO BIG HEAD LET"S GET IT, i'm a young boy but i hear stories from my older cousins of them getting into these troubles lol lucky i wasn't part of the time.
Different times, different mindset. Glad it’s over and everyone has moved on. Except for Bighead’s hairstyle 😂
@@chinatowngangstories something tells me he still goes to that exact same barber 😂

Can Bighead corroborate on a gangland style killing between a merchant and furniture store owner nickname 小宝？
The store is located on Divison Street and neighboring The Tung On Associations .
The time of this incident was late, 70s - early 80s.
Thank you 👍
my dad once had prejudice against Fukinese , probably that reputation about scamming your own family
Yeah I think it's like stereotype that Fukinese people will do anything for money no principles or morals
👍👍👍
听上一辈讲往事真系好有意思
Anyone know what they are talking about when Big Head was given “200 numbers”?
Sun Yee On Triad gave Bighead the authorization to recruit 200 people in the USA. The 200 new members will answer to Bighead and the Sun Yee On leaders.
Can you guys do Collab with China Mac, Mac eats with some Africans would be cool. They love our Chinese food.
