Biography
Ma was born on 1954 in Tianyang County in Baise, Guangxi. During the Cultural Revolution, after completing his secondary education, he worked as a laborer at the Liuzhou Iron and Steel Plant in Guangxi. When the national college entrance examination system (gaokao) was reinstated, he successfully gained admission in 1978 to the Department of Political Science and Political Economy at the Central University for Nationalities (now Minzu University of China). Upon graduation, Ma began his career in economic research, working first at the Planning and Economic Research Institute of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Planning Commission and later at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In June 1985, he joined the Chinese Communist Party and also served in a temporary post as Deputy Party Secretary of Luocheng County, Guangxi.[3]
In 1994, Ma began serving as assistant to the Party Secretary of Beihai. Over the following years, he held a series of roles, including Deputy Director of the Guangxi Economic Restructuring Commission, Vice Chairman of the Guangxi Youth Federation, Commissioner of the Baise Prefecture Administrative Office and Party Secretary of Baise Prefecture. Following the 2003 administrative merger of Baise prefecture and city, Ma became the first Party Secretary of the newly formed Baise city.[3]
In 2004, he was promoted to Vice Chairman of the People’s Government of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. By March 2005, he had become a Standing Committee Member of the CCP Guangxi Regional Committee, while concurrently serving as Party Secretary of Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Nanning People’s Congress. In December 2007, Ma was appointed Deputy Party Secretary of Guangxi, Vice Chairman of the autonomous region’s government, and Acting Chairman. He was formally elected Chairman of the People’s Government of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in January 2008.[3]
