In September 1949, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) captured the great northwest, breaking the rule of the "three horses" military group in the northwest for many years, and one of them, Ma Hongkui, fled to Taiwan. However, he was not received by the Kuomintang in Taiwan, but was removed from his post and investigated, and even his accomplice Ma Bufang shirked his responsibility. Ma Hongkui had been entrenched in the northwest for more than 20 years and was notorious for his immorality, but he was still able to firmly grasp the military and political power. He has long been well aware of the prevarication and mutual implication within the Kuomintang. In order to protect himself, he and his aunt acted in a play, and finally, with the acquiescence of Chiang Kai-shek, he immigrated to the United States with his family and the huge wealth he looted. However, his life in the United States was not as he would have liked, but was full of troubles and troubles.
Ma Hongkui's crimes can be traced back to his early family background, when he was born into a family of local armed chiefs in Gansu Province in the late Qing Dynasty, received military training in his early years, and later joined the revolutionary organization "League Society". He acted on the political stage, saw the wind and steered, and finally became the ruler of the northwest through collusion with various forces. However, once he was in power, he indulged in pleasure and acted recklessly. He privately printed money, conscripted soldiers and imposed miscellaneous taxes, exploited the people, looted wealth, and even had a wife of six rooms. All his actions were aimed at gaining power and wealth, and he did not care about the suffering of the people.
In the United States, Ma Hongkui had hoped to live a comfortable life, but his past and crimes continued to haunt him. His ranch failed, his family was in turmoil, and he even faced a lawsuit from his own grandson. In the end, his family conflicts intensified, his power was lost, and he ended up in a lonely old age. He had dreamed of returning to his hometown of Ningxia, but his crimes had put that wish in vain. Eventually, he died of illness in the United States, leaving behind nothing but remorse for his past and endless loneliness.
Ma Hongkui's life was full of absurdity and tragedy, he was a ruler who used power for personal gain, and his crimes caused pain and suffering to hundreds of people. His story tells us that power and wealth did not bring true happiness, but led to his moral decay and inner emptiness. On the road of life, integrity and conscience are the real treasures, and sin will be punished as it deserves.
