Chapter 62: Anliang General Hall (Repair)
The "On Leung Church" in New York's Chinatown is run by Szeto Meitang, which was founded in 1905. The first "Anliang Church" was established in Boston, and later as the branches of Anliang Church were spread in various cities in the United States, the main church was moved to New York's Chinatown.
The emergence of An Liang Tang is no accident, it is a means for the Chinese to unite and deal with the evil forces. Because in the whole of the West, including France, which claims to have no racial discrimination, no government organ of any country will uphold justice for the interests of the Chinese. Although trials are often conducted in a legal arena, it is still difficult for Chinese without social status to be protected.
Situ Meitang is the prime minister of the "Anliang General Hall", and is also called "big man" by some branch people, but when most Chinese come to see him, they call him "uncle".
In 1904, Sun Yat-sen went to the United States to carry out revolutionary activities as the "big brother of Hongmen", Situ Meitang was moved by Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideals and decided to serve as a guard, and the Hongmen organization began to support Sun Yat-sen's anti-Qing revolutionary activities in terms of manpower and financial resources.
After the success of the Xinhai Revolution, Sun Yat-sen once invited him to return to China to serve as a supervising seal officer. However, Situ Meitang politely refused on the grounds of "retiring after success" and "not being an official".
"What are we? We are an association, and what is more important than going back to China to participate in the chaotic political situation, and doing something tangible for us Chinese here? ”
That's what he thinks, it doesn't need to be a torrent retreat, it's just a wise choice.
It's just that he came to the United States at the age of 12, and basically he is a person who grew up in the United States. In the case of a large number of people talking about China and competing for power and profit, and few people who really want to build China well, he has no intention of getting involved in these "boring" moves, after all, as he himself said.
"Fart less, do more, and everything will be fine! Only fart, do not do things, China will never get better! ”
This may be his personal thoughts, or the reason why he does not return to China to participate in politics, in short, he refused the invitation and is still his "big man and uncle" in New York. In fact, he is not very old, he is only 48 years old, and he still controls the affairs of Chinatown.
And the main thing he dealt with was that he had the responsibility to protect the American triads when they attacked the shops in Chinatown. Of course, the next thing is often some scenes of underworld fights, and the general situation is as simple as that.
"Mr. Situ, the case you are talking about ......"
The person who spoke was the legal counsel of the "Anliang General Hall" under the management of Situ Meitang, a young man in his 30s who sat in a soft chair opposite Situ Meiden.
Listening to his tone, he was probably talking to Situ Meitang about a case, and in recent years, the cases of Chinese people have been on the rise and the methods have become more and more intense. The lawyer knows very well that the escalation of these cases is inseparable from the person in front of him, who is called "uncle" by others. He was like an old spider sitting in a spider's web, and the slightest tremor of each thread would make him move, and for action it was like his body, always so tough.
"Even so, he's still a good friend!"
As a politically aspiring lawyer, it was clear that such a club would give him a lot of help, and although their group was only about 20,000 people, they represented almost all Chinese in the United States, which is why he was able to serve him as a senator from New York.
While they were discussing the case, suddenly Situ Meitang's personal secretary and bodyguard came to his side. This is a young man in his twenties. Senator's lawyer also knows him, he is one of Situ Meitang's righteous sons, named Situ Shang, is a quite famous and ruthless guy, if you check it, he is at least related to more than 20 headless cases.
"Uncle, there is a person who came to you, and he said his name is Tang Yunyang!"
Although the young lawyer could not understand their Chinese, he still guessed that the young man had come to tell Situ Meitang that someone had come to visit, and that this person's arrival must have been expected by his employer, but it was a slight surprise.
Although the young senator lawyer was a little curious, because the Chinese in front of him rarely had such an expression, and most of the time his expression made people feel that he was no different from other Chinese, the same kind and the same meek. Among the Americans, I am afraid that only he will know what will happen if he provokes such a person.
"Mr. Situ, I think the progress of our case is about the same, if there is any further progress, I will inform you as soon as possible, if I am not available, I will ask my secretary to come. If you allow it......"
The young senator's lawyer was polite when he took his leave, knowing that the Chinese have sincere respect for etiquette and sincere communication with friends, which is not unlike the Japanese who only pay attention to the surface.
"Wait, Mr. Roosevelt, please wait a moment, I think you might want to get to know this person!"
Situ Meitang didn't say much, still sitting upright on the Taishi chair behind his desk, but reached out to stop Franklin. Roosevelt's departure seemed to have some legal disputes with him, and he needed the legal counsel of the society to protect his interests.
That's right, this young man, the senator of New York State and the legal adviser of the "Anliang General Church", is none other than the president of the United States, who has served four consecutive terms in history - Franklin Franklin. Theodore. Roosevelt. It's just that at this time, he didn't have much political prestige at a young age, and he didn't sit in a wheelchair.
"Alright then, Mr. Situ, if you need me to stay here!"

Franklin. Roosevelt put down his briefcase and sat back down in the soft chair. He noticed that Situ Meitang was not interested in talking at this time, and his brain seemed to be nervously thinking about something.
"Who could it be? Could it be that the person who came here will have some legal dispute with this Mr. Situ Meitang? ”
Guessing in his heart about Situ Meitang's intention of keeping him here, his eyes glanced at the door of the office. He wanted to see what this guy who could make the usual steady leader of the community lose interest in conversation because of his thoughts!
At this moment, Situ Meitang's brain was spinning rapidly, although he expected that Tang Yunyang might come to visit, but what he never expected was that he would come so quickly.
As for him to leave this Franklin. Mr. Roosevelt's purpose was not that he needed a legal adviser, but that he thought that the two of them would make frequent appearances in the newspapers, and that the other would have taken over almost all of the prime time of the radio stations, or that they might be able to talk about it together!
"With friends there is common interest, and in the community, this will be the law forever!"
