In addition, at that time, there were many central agencies in Chongqing, the capital of the country. Most of the Kuomintang party, government and military personnel were corrupt and depressed, and they desperately needed to use gambling to obtain psychological stimulation. Liao Qingyu, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and a literary historian, said that at that time, in Geleshan, caves and other places where dignitaries lived, some officials’ wives invited gangs, and the sound of mahjong continued all night in the mansions and villas. Able to be perfunctory.
For example, in October of the same year after Chiang Kai-shek issued the fifth warrant, two public gambling cases occurred in the Kuomintang Officer Corps. As a result, the police agencies that received the reports did not dare to investigate and deal with them. During the crackdown on gambling, there were often vicious cases of shootings and fights between gambling police and gambling soldiers.
Gambling is a bad habit of betting one’s property on others to win or lose, and has been around for thousands of years. In addition, the boundary between gambling and entertainment activities was blurred. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek tried to rely on a few strict warrants to ban the gambling style that had been circulating in Chongqing for a long time. Although the intention was good, the effect was destined to be loud but little rain.
