常APANA, The Real Charlie Chan?

我第一次听说长安APANA在花絮上的陈查理的DVD集之一. I knew a real life detective inspired Earl Derr Biggers to create Charlie Chan. I did not know who the man was. Chang Apana was that man.

常APANA (生于阿平张) 十二月 26, 1871 瓦胡岛是中国 - 夏威夷父母的儿子, Chang moved back and forth between China and Hawaii as a child before returning to Hawaii for good as a teenager. He worked as a cowboy before becoming a humane society officer in 1894. 动物执法是檀香山警方的一部分, 在那里，他将成为下一个 34 岁月.

常谈到夏威夷, 夏威夷洋泾浜和中国. 他也是警察部门的唯一中国成员. After a few years, he was promoted from animal enforcement to Chinatown patrol. 终于, 他会成为一名侦探专门从事赌博和走私. 与陈查理, 他很少工作一宗谋杀案.

Chang still holds the record for most arrests in one case, when he arrested 70 offenders. He walked the group down the main street to the police station. 当地报纸评论的被处理， “昨天的游行礼貌官的APANA”.

张APANA被确立为一个侦探, when Earl Derr Biggers visited the island in 1919 和被启发写 房子没有钥匙. He continued to read the Honolulu newspapers after returning to New York.

他写了一封信 1932, which acknowledged Chang Apana as the inspiration for Charlie Chan. 德尔更大的妻子说，她始终相信陈查理是基于德尔更大的自己. 事实是，在两者之间的某处可能.

张APANA是一个薄薄的, 硬汉, 谁进行的，而不是枪牛鞭子. His face bore the marks of his profession as he had been slashed on the face a couple of times and stabbed more than five time.

查理陈字，似乎像德尔更大的体质和性格报道. 我认为德尔比格斯混合自己的特质与张APANA的漏洞和性格创造陈查理.

有趣的是, 1933 将是今年两人死于疾病. 比格斯德尔, 谁是出生于8月 26, 1884, 遭遇四月致命的心脏发作 5, 1933. 他死了在 48 岁.

十二月 8, 1933, 张APANA从坏疽的影响死亡. 他一直受伤的车祸 1932. 他的腿被截肢十二月 7, 1933 但他第二天就死了. 他是 61 岁.

张APANA和伯爵比格斯德尔既留下了持久的遗产. Charlie Chan was part of this legacy.
