In the last century, China experienced a particularly difficult period, and the lesson of "backwardness is to be beaten" is still remembered by people to this day. The revolutionary martyrs of that year threw their heads and spilled their blood and contributed their own strength to the stability of the motherland, and the people had a happy life today. However, in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in that year, there were still some people who, at a time of national crisis, squeezed the poor and miserable people for their own selfish interests, and frantically amassed wealth everywhere. When he fled to the United States, he took 7.5 tons of gold that was enough to squander his life, which was such a national sinner, but before he died, he shouted: Homesickness!
In 1933, Ma Hongkui single-handedly covered the sky in Ningxia and became the local "Earth Emperor". And the family wives and concubines flocked, in order to satisfy selfish interests, Ma Hongkui everywhere to collect wealth, just as the so-called Emperor Shangao yuan, at that time the Ningxia area was very inconvenient transportation, so the head could not control him. Ma Hongkui had many means of accumulating wealth, and with his status as the supreme in the local area, Ma Hongkui also formulated a series of regulations for the people who owned vehicles and horses in their homes to pay taxes to him. If a businessman wants to do business, he also needs to bribe him.
After that, when the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, Ma Hongkui demanded that the local people pay taxes under the pretext of patriotism, and forced the local people to donate money on the grounds of war fundraising.
In 1949, after the founding of New China, Ma Hongkui fled to Taiwan, but because of his previous actions, Ma Hongkui was charged and dismissed from his post as soon as he landed. Disheartened, Ma Hongkui secretly fled to Hong Kong, taking his three aunts and wives to the United States, and taking with him all the belongings he had obtained from the money he had accumulated. According to one of Ma Hongkui's cronies, his wealth at that time was at least 7.5 tons of gold, which was enough for him to squander his life.
After Ma Hongkui fled to the United States, he gradually settled down there, although he had a lot of wealth, but the taste of being exiled was not good. In 1960, Ma Hongkui had been living in the United States for more than 10 years, perhaps because of his advanced age, And Ma Hongkui missed his hometown very much.
In the "Biography of Ma Hongkui" written by a Ningxia writer, it was mentioned that in 1970, when Ma Hongkui died of illness in Los Angeles, the United States, before his death, his mouth kept saying, I want to go back... In this way, Ma Hongkui passed away with regret and guilt for people.
