Du's mystical powers

Some one keeps inserting unsourced kung fu material into this article. I am again going to undo this apparent vandalism. If anyone has sourceable material alleging Du Yuesheng's use of 'taoist mystical knowledge,' let's discuss the insertion.MWShort (talk) 14:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree. This is absolute nonsense: Chiang Kai-shek later hired Du (Jung Shi) and the rest of the Green Gang to use their Bok Foo Pai gong fu to execute all pro-communists in Shanghai, ... (I was under the assumption that machine pistols were the weapon of choice.) DOR (HK) (talk) 07:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is really hilarious. I once read that Du strangled a union leader at a dinner party in 1927. I didn't imagine at the time that he could have done it like Darth Vader: "I find your lack of capitalism... disturbing."Ferox Seneca (talk) 00:51, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name

He is also know in books and articles as "Big Eared Tu." There should be a re-direct from "Big Eared Tu" to this page. 64.53.191.77 (talk) 16:44, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"King/Lord of Shanghai"

Was this title ever used to describe him historically? Or was this a term developed by Media created after his death? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlbertOfPrussia (talk • contribs) 03:27, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Opium Suppression citation

"The resulting massacre ended the First United Front, and as a reward for Du's service, Chiang appointed him as the president of the National Board of Opium Suppression Bureau. The end result was that Du came to officially control the entirety of China's opium trade.[citation needed]" The book Policing Shanghai, 1927-1937 by Frederic Wakeman Jr says this as well, but the source offered is not something I can access: Madancy, Joyce Ann. "Propaganda Versus Practice: Official Involvement in the Opium Trade in China, 1927-1945." M.A. thesis, Cornell University, 1983. If anyone has access to the Cornell library they could probably look that up to verify it. 2603:6081:2340:23A:0:0:0:3F6 (talk) 19:24, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
