Biography

Ma Fushou was the son of Hui Ma clique general Ma Qianling, and the brother of Ma Fucai, Ma Fulu, and Ma Fuxiang. He joined the martial arts school and graduated from military school after three years of training in 1892.[1]

In 1917 Ma, chief of staff of the Ningxia Zhaowu Army was dispatched by Ma Fuxiang with an army to attack insurgent leader Kao Shi-hsiu's army, defeating the insurgents at the Zhaowu Temple.[2]

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ma settled down in Linxia. He was over 90 years old when he died there in 1956.[3]
