After coming to the Monument to the Revolutionary Martyrs of Sichuan University, after bowing deeply, despite the opposition of the people around him, Ma Lao insisted on walking up the steps and laying flowers in front of the monument. Then Ma Lao carefully looked at the names on the monuments one by one, and recalled them as he watched. Elder Ma said to the people around him, "All of them are still alive, in my heart." When he found the name of "He Maojin", Ma Lao told his relatives, including Ma Wanmei, "He died too unjustly." He came from Wanxian and I told him he must not have any contact with that side, and he assured me that it was no problem, and he was careless, and all three of them were arrested. ”

In the 1940s, Ma Lao studied in the Department of Foreign Languages at Sichuan University. Although the time is short, he is also an alumnus of Sichuan University. Before the founding of New China, Ma Lao used to lead the work of the underground party of Sichuan University, Ma Lao's lover Wang Fang was once the secretary of the underground party branch of Sichuan University, and Ma Lao's sister was a progressive student studying in the economic department of Sichuan University. Wang Fang came from a family of scholars, and had earlier attended university in his hometown of Henan, but after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he fled to Sichuan to transfer to the History Department of Sichuan University and graduated from the History Department of Sichuan University. She joined the Communist Party of China in 1939, and at the age of 23, she was already the secretary of the underground party branch of Sichuan University, leading the work of the Party's peripheral organization, the People's Democratic Association.

In 1947, the underground party Chuankang Special Committee decided that Ma Lao would be responsible for running a secret mimeograph tabloid, listening to the telegrams of the Yan'an Xinhua Radio Station, recording them and mimeographing them, and sending them to the party and progressive people to read. "This newspaper is the organ newspaper of the Chuankang Special Committee." Ma Wanmei said. The party organization of the Chuankang Special Committee repeatedly screened among the subordinate party members and found Wang Fang. Wang Fang did not hesitate to undertake this work. Under the responsibility of Ma Lao, she overcame the difficulties of assembling radios and trying to avoid enemy surveillance, and single-handedly undertook all the work of receiving newspapers, engraving wax paper, mimeographing, and distributing.

When he saw a picture of Yun Conglong on the display board, Ma Lao recalled, "At that time, Wang Fang ran a newspaper and needed to listen to the Yan'an People's Radio. He provided a relatively advanced radio in his house for the king to listen to in his house. Because Yun Conglong was a Canadian friend, the Kuomintang agents did not dare to interfere with his radio. ”

Ma Wanmei, Ma Lao's daughter, told the cover news reporter, "On the afternoon of September 29, Professor Zhang Fang of Sichuan University sent me a photo of my father and mother Wang Fang exhibited at the 'Special Exhibition on the Centenary History of the Communist Party of China at Sichuan University' exhibited by Sichuan University. I told Elder Ma about it that night. Early in the morning of the 30th, just got up, I was cooking, Ma Lao came to me and said, you go to prepare some flowers, I want to go to the martyrs' monument on the campus of Sichuan University. Originally, Ma Lao was going to go to the hospital for injections today. So we went to the hospital first, and after he got the injection, we rushed to Sichuan University. Ma Wanmei also revealed, "Because Ma Lao's white blood cell value was a little low a while ago, he has been treating." Just got the test report yesterday, the white blood cell value has risen a lot. ”
