Tip: January 6, 1970. Los Angeles, USA. Ma Hongkui was dead. It is said that on this day, the sky in Los Angeles was raining lightly, and Ma Hongkui was accompanied by a small farm for raising horses and chickens, because there were fewer employees, the operation was average, and it was somewhat dilapidated. Before dying, Ma Hongkui knew that he was going, and his mouth vaguely recited the following words: "I want to go back... I want to go back..." There were only two aunts, Zhao Lanxiang and Liu Xianxia, around me. That year, Ma Hongkui was 78 years old, and his life came to an end.
The aunt "changed" to a cousin and secretary
On October 14, 1949, Ma Hongkui and his wife and concubine flew to Taiwan, and they were accused by Taiwan's "Ministry of National Defense" vice minister Guo Jiyao and Ma Bufang's father and son, who were responsible for the defeat in the northwest and were soon punished by "dismissal and investigation" . In this regard, Ma Hongkui was discouraged, decided to leave, and came up with such a plan: let Liu Xianxia get sick, and then let her go to Hong Kong for treatment. Soon, Ma Hongkui received a telegram from Liu Xianxia, falsely claiming that he was critically ill and asked Ma Hongkui to fly to Hong Kong to see him for the last time. Ma Hongkui took the telegram to ask for leave, and was specially approved for a month's leave.
After arriving in Hong Kong, Ma Hongkui did not think about going back, but found that there were many spies in Hong Kong, the activities were rampant, and it was very unsafe to stay, so he had plans to go to the United States. Subsequently, he asked his fifth aunt, Zou Deyi, and Ma Dunjing's family to fly to Hong Kong, and asked Chennault to help with the "Republic of China Passport". A total of 6 people, 3 of whom are Ma Hongkui's aunt, Chennault asked friends in the United States to help, Zou Deyi filled out the form as "secretary", Zhao Lanxiang filled out the form as "cousin", Liu Muxia filled out the form as "lady" and other names, got a visa to the United States, flew to San Francisco in October 1950 to live, and then moved to Los Angeles, purchased real estate in the suburbs to settle.
In his later years, his life was dismal and he was abandoned by the "secretary"
Wandering in a foreign country, although Ma Hongkui did not lack money, due to the quarrel between his wife and concubines, his children and grandchildren were not filial piety, and his family was very unhappy. Ma Hongkui handed over the finances to Liu Muxia, who was stuck in money with Zou Deyi because of the deep contradiction with Zou Deyi, and the two often quarreled over it. At this moment, Ma Hongkui is no longer the "King of Ningxia" who was in the scenery of the past, and he has lost his power, and he can no longer control these two women. More importantly, Zou Deyi is young and beautiful, while Ma Hongkui is 60 years old, coupled with diabetes, the physical condition is not optimistic. Zou Deyi could not bear the loneliness and soon fell in love with a Chinese-American professor.
The things that should come will come. One day, Zou De and Ma Hongkui said: "Let's have a husband and wife, or get together and disperse." Seeing that Ma Hongkui was silent, Zou Deyi said again: "Now, the family is like this, I can't stay anymore." It is rumored that after hearing this sentence, Ma Hongkui burst into tears, he could not bear to be abandoned by the "secretary", but he could not manage the affairs of the family, only agreed, and then sent a sum of money to Zou Deyi, so that she and the Chinese professor married.
After that, Ma Hongkui's life began to become very lonely, and people in other places began to miss "home" very, very much. In the long biographical literature "The Biography of Ma Hongkui" written by Ningxia writers Zhang Shulin and Zhang Shubin, it is said that because he misses the motherland, Ma Hongkui often hides his face and weeps, claiming that he may not be able to return to Chinese mainland in this life. The U.S. Immigration Service persuaded him to become a U.S. citizen, and he said to his children: "Whether you are a U.S. citizen or not is your business, I was born as a Chinese, died a Chinese ghost, and died I will be buried in the land of the motherland." ”
He fought a lawsuit for his great-granddaughter and grandson, but lost
In 1960, Ma Hongkui had been living in a foreign country for 10 years, and by this time, he was already a forgotten person. In addition to "Lady" Liu Muxia and "cousin" Zhao Lanxiang, there is also one person around him, namely Ma Ailing, the daughter of his grandson Ma Jiahua. Zhao Lanxiang has been accompanying Ma Hongkui in his later years, but when people are old, they must always have a sustenance in their hearts. Zhao Lanxiang has no children, and Ma Ailing has been brought by her and Ma Hongkui since she was a child, regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand, bringing a lot of happiness to the life of the two of them.
In 1960, Ma Hongkui may have squandered the money he had brought from China, and was afraid to sit on the mountain and eat the empty space, so he decided to sell Li Jinshan's private home, move to Los Angeles, run a small farm, raise horses, or want to support himself or find something to do. But he has become an "ordinary person" but ushered in a lawsuit - grandson Ma Jiahua wants to take Ma Ailing away and personally raise her, Ma Hongkui and Zhao Lanxiang can't give up, don't give, Ma Jiahua will sue his grandfather in court, claiming his right to raise his daughter. The court ruled that Ma Hongkui lost the case, Ma Ailing was taken away, and Ma Hongkui could not see his "heart meat" and could not afford to be ill from then on. Fortunately, Ma Ailing was not with her parents since childhood, and her feelings with her parents had been estranged, and she also "lost" Ma Hongkui and Zhao Lanxiang, and later returned to their side, giving the two a little comfort.
The "King of Ningxia", who was once beautiful, spent his twilight years in the loneliness of a child. January 6, 1970. Los Angeles, USA. Ma Hongkui was dead. It is said that on this day, the sky in Los Angeles was raining lightly, and Ma Hongkui was accompanied by a small farm for raising horses and chickens, because there were fewer employees, the operation was average, and it was somewhat dilapidated. Before dying, Ma Hongkui knew that he was going, and his mouth vaguely recited the following words: "I want to go back... I want to go back..." There were only two aunts, Zhao Lanxiang and Liu Xianxia, around me. That year, Ma Hongkui was 78 years old, and his life came to an end.
Conclusion: Less than ten years after Ma Hongkui's death, Chinese mainland reform and opening up, and since then, the people of China and the United States have had more exchanges with each other. According to legend, Liu Muxia, who lives overseas, once asked people from Ningxia: "Do the people still hate us?" An ordinary sentence tells the story of Ma Hongkui's deep evil in Ningxia at that time, and during the 17 years of his rule in Ningxia, he was very proud of himself, but he brought many painful memories to the people of Ningxia. All of this was accompanied by the words he said before he died: "I want to go back... I want to go back..." The motherland, sometimes as long as you leave, it is difficult to come back.
