Triads in HK and the Making of Modern Chinese History

History of Hong Kong’s Triads ​ Hong Kong’s triads date back to 17th century China when the Manchus defeated the Chinese and established the Qing Dynasty. Triads were established then when they tried to revive the Ming Dynasty. The movement 反清復明, which translates to Rebel Against the Qing and Reviving the Ming caught on and encouraged smaller triad groups to form. Their emblem is Guan Yu or Guan Di. Guan Yu served under the warlord Liu Bei during the Eastern Han dynasty of China. He is known popularly for his brotherhood relationship with Liu Bei and his never-ending loyalty. This is the value of triads in one emblem. Picture Statue of Guan Yu Throughout history in China, triads were involved in every issue as long as they can benefit. The British viewed them as a group that would make Hong Kong impossible to rule if they were allowed to roam free in the city and punished most triad members making their underground activities even more secretive. During the Japanese occupation, most triad members welcomed them as occupiers as anarchy reigned in Hong Kong. As the Imperial Japanese Army came in, the Triads robbed civilians at gunpoints and looted the stores clean. The entire three years of eight months period, not only were civilians living in fear of the Imperial Japanese Army, they were also living in fear of the Triads. After WWII, Hong Kong was under British ruling again. Triads were again more secretive of their activities. After Mao took over China, triad activities were punishable by law. However, as the latest activities show, some triads are now pro-Beijing as their businesses are depended on Mainland China. However, similar to most issues in Asia, this is not a simple one as most of the triad members are related to KMT in one way of another. 14K was founded by a former Lieutenant-General of Kuomintang. https://www.pacificatrocities.org/blo...
