This should be a show on HBO
Watch the “warriors” on HBO, it’s based on the tongs in San Francisco
He looks the guy from warrior
Can't believe it's only couple streets in old China Town ...
A lot of history and untold stories from that tiny little area.
Professor, on the one hand I walk along Pell and Mott and the Bowery at least twice a week; on the other hand, I have heard about the infamous Tong Wars of the turn-of-the-century Chinatown. And now, listening enrapt to your lectures, I find closure and a deep satisfaction. Thank you for your offering.
same as me
@Jason Reyes Thank you thank you. I hope you're still listening.
The 1970s and 1980s there were many Chinese gang wars in Chinatown
Dude in the pic looks exactly like Father Jun from Warrior, including the weird right eye!
This is a great series about something I know very little about. Thanks much for making and posting this.
Thanks much! Glad you liked it. You should check out the book if you want to read more!
Too many people don't realise that the world still runs on brute force, and that has never changed!
Unfortunately this is true.....Might does NOT always make right.
It does... But in the end - it is righteousness that lasts. Those that resort to brute force never have peace because they will always have to fight.
In the first episode you mentioned that the tongs would mess with on another by snitching. On the second episode you say they had too much honor to do that?
Yeah, that's been known to happen from time to time throughout gangland history. The Code of Honor is, on occasion, dishonored.
刘关张赵 is a quite common surname society in other Chinese community as it’s from the 3 kingdoms stories
Someone should make a video game based on this. There's enough yakuza games
Only one that resembles it is Sleeping Dogs
