"Jiang hu" is the term for the fictional world in which many Chinese classical wuxia stories are set. The term can be translated literally as "rivers and lakes". Metaphorically it refers not to a physical place or geographic location but to the wild and romanticized domain of secret societies, gangs, fighters, entertainers, prostitutes, assassins, thieves, actors, beggars, and wanderers that is roughly the Chinese equivalent to the English terms "bohemian" and "the underworld".
When the point comes when Hung is going to be a father, Lefty wants to take control of the gang. Hung disagrees. Lefty ends up spreading the news about Hung becoming a father creating a ripple in the gang and its underbosses. Lefty and Hung eventually make peace and exit a restaurant. They are attacked by a horde of assassins. The duo fend them off for a while but are eventually taken down by a group of younger people. This just shows the circle of life in the underworld. Just like Hung and Left rose to power by taking out the mob boss in their time, they get taken out to make way for someone else to rise to power.
Triad Underworld
The Triad and tested Underworld 4 Drift Trike receives a make of this season, including a neo chrome electroplated model for those who want some flare, and a gloss copper-to-black fade for the little more conservative. Commander fork - ready to an upgrade to disc brakes, comes with 1 tool installation bearing caps, bladed fork legs and oversize fork crown. Wider, lower, longer because that's what people wanted, however, Triad hasn't stopped there as we've added a more rigid 1-piece 15mm rear axle with subframe and triad exclusive Sentinel rear platform. Revisions to the 49er wheels with bigger bearings for the new axle. A tough performing trike that represents great value for money.

Since the mid 1980`s, many movies used the criminal underworld as a setting and Triad members as main protagonists. Triad Movies became extremely popular in Hong Kong during this period. Typical Triad protagonists in Triad movies are associated with values such as honor and loyalty despite their criminal affiliation. They are also often rich and powerful which can lead to think that Triad movies portray Triad members in an appealing way.

Chow then spent a few years inside San Quentin Prison for a robbery conviction, and after his release, he started working with the Hong Kong-based Wo Hop To triad, one of numerous Chinese underground societies linked to organized crime. Chow has admitted that as a gang leader, he ran prostitution rings, smuggled drugs and extorted thousands of dollars from business owners in the 1980s.
From the very beginning, we had used two very different structures for the Wild Cards books. The climactic volume of each triad was always a full-blown mosaic novel, a six-or seven-way collaboration wherein all the storylines were woven through each other, to make a seamless (we hoped) whole. However, that structure was so difficult, demanding, and time consuming that we would only attempt it for one book in three. The other volumes were more conventionally organized into individual stories joined by sections of interstitial narrative that worked to link them all together into a whole. Beads on a string; the stories were the beads, the interstitial was the string them turned them into a necklace.
HONG KONG (Reuters) - A week before suspected triad gang members attacked protesters and commuters at a rural Hong Kong train station last Sunday, an official from China's representative office urged local residents to drive away any activists.
Two senior police sources told Reuters some of the men who attacked the protesters had triad backgrounds including from the powerful Wo Shing Wo, Hong Kong's oldest triad society, and the 14K, another large, well-known triad.
While Hong Kong's triads - ancient secret societies that morphed into mafia-style underworld operations - no longer hold the high profile of previous decades they remain entrenched in some grittier districts and in rural areas, according to police.
Police told reporters in 2014 during the so-called "Occupy" democracy protests, that hundreds of triad members were suspected of mounting operations to infiltrate, beat and harass those in the movement. Several dozen people were arrested at the time.
Two senior police officers involved in controlling demonstrations and a senior government security official told Reuters privately they were incensed at public perceptions the police somehow acted in concert with triads at Yuen Long.
As a young kid reading Dickens for the first time I was mesmerised by this journey into the underworld of Victorian London. I would go on my own imaginary adventures with the Artful Dodger and his gang of thieving street urchins. Years later, when writing my own book about modern street gang members I had the same sense of going on a thrilling journey of discovery and escapades.Explore this bookOliver TwistByCharles Dickens,
Inside the broken structure of an abandoned warehouse-turned-apartment-building, a soft flame was lit. Unlike the one on the other side of the world which sought to consume the largest, most well-defended stronghold on the planet, this one failed to even bring adequate comfort to the wielder, the broken-down boss of the once mighty Huoxilong Triad, which reigned over this city's underworld. With his world shattered and his power crushed during the downturn of his fortune since that accursed earthbender plunged through his city, many of life's nights were like this one. With the unforgiving rain outside, colder than the sweat which wettened the Earth Kingdom Army troops, Jiro shivered like a homeless vagrant of a vagabond, albeit with his feet still on the ground.
