马福禄
He studied at a martial arts hall and military school.
He was a middle born son. In 1880 Ma Fulu went to Beijing to take advanced military exams when he had an audience before the Emperor. He accidentally committed a faux pas since he did not know proper palace etiquiette, and subsequently served as a guard for the Emperor to make up for this incident.
During the Hundred Days" Reform in 1898 Dong Fuxiang, Ma Anliang, and Ma Haiyan were called to Beijing and helped put an end to the reform movement along with Ma Fulu and Ma Fuxiang.
100 of his fellow Hui and Dongxiang soldiers from his home village died in that battle at Zhengyang Gate in Beijing. Ma Fuxiang inherited Ma Fulu"s army.
He had a son, Ma Hongbin, who later became a General in charge of the 84th Army Corps. Ma Fuxing, a Hui who played an important part in the history of Xinjiang, served under Ma Fulu during the Boxer Rebellion.
Originally buried at a Hui cemetery in Beijing, in 1995 Ma Fulu"s remains were moved by his descendants to Yangzhushan in Linxia County.
