Ma Yongzhen in history

Generally speaking, the films and TV series about Ma Yongzhen, whether it is the early Chen Guantai version, the Bai Biao version or the Kenny Ho version in the 1980s, all set their historical background in the Republic of China in the 1920s and 1930s. Even though Takeshi Kaneshiro 1997' s Ma Yongzhen begins with the statement that "there was a drought in Shandong in the late Qing Dynasty 1898, and many refugees flooded into Shanghai ...", the characters in the film were not dressed up in the Qing Dynasty, even for the sake of gimmicks. I dare say there are many modern styles in it. I looked up a lot of information, and finally learned that these movies and TV series pushed back the real life of Ma Yongzhen for decades.

Ma Yongzhen materials recorded in Shanghai local chronicles should be regarded as more authoritative. I extracted the online information of Shanghai Local Records Office as follows:

Ma Yongzhen (? ~ 1879)

Ma Yongzhen, * * *, a native of Jining, Shandong. Boxer in late Qing Dynasty. At the Jockey Club of China Happy Valley Club (now People's Square and People's Park), he defeated foreign knights by riding, which caused a sensation in Shanghai. In the fifth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1April 879 13), he was assassinated by thugs in the "One Cave Paradise" teahouse on Nanjing Road (the original site is now Jinhua Road on Nanjing East Road) and was seriously injured.

Records of Huangpu District in Guangxu Five Years (1879)

On March 22nd (April 13), Ma Yongzhen (* * *), a Shandong boxer, had tea at Dong Tian Teahouse on Nanjing Road. The horse dealer took care of the gathered thugs, sprinkled lime powder on the flour and then cut it with a knife. That night, he was seriously injured and died.

From this perspective, Ma Yongzhen in history may have pigtails.

Machong

1879, Ma Yongzhen was assassinated when he went to a teahouse for tea. After he was killed in Shanghai, the legend about him spread among the people.

China is a country with chivalrous culture, and artists will naturally attach many stories to such people with good martial arts. In the history of China's martial arts movies, Ma Yongzhen (1927) is one of the earliest martial arts movies. In the mid-1930s, Ma Yongzhen, a tin drama, was staged in Shanghai Theatre. Although the Internet is developed now, the film 1927 is hard to find because of its age. I only found some introductory materials:

Content abstract: Based on Zheng Qiuzheng's new play Ma Yongzhen. Ma Yongzhen was born in a martial arts family in Shandong. His parents died when he was a child, and he and his sister Su Zhen lived alone. Ma Yongzhen has high martial arts skills and no rivals outside the village. Ma Yongzhen has long heard that Shanghai is prosperous, so he wants to go to Shanghai. Su Zhen saw that her brother had made up his mind, and she no longer insisted on staying. I had to tell Yongzhen not to be loyal, not to be greedy for fireworks and go home as soon as possible. Yongzhen came to Shanghai, set a ring in Jing 'an Temple, and made friends with heroes. The brave appeared one after another, but they were defeated one by one. The famous boxers in Europe, Huang Tooth Beard, and white dysentery, the horse dealer's escort, have also become defeated. Chai Jiuyun admired Ma Yongzhen's bravery and made friends with him. A horse dealer met Yong Zhen through Chai Jiuyun, left Bai Li and followed him near Ma Yongzhen. Bai was greatly annoyed, but afraid of Yong Zhen's bravery, he dared not do it easily. One day, Chai Jiuyun hosted a banquet for Ma Yongzhen in a * * * home. Yongzhen fell into the flowers and gradually felt restless. Suddenly, I remembered Su Zhen's parting words and woke up with a start. White busy to see the horse dealer just please Ma Yongzhen, afraid of endangering his livelihood, he told his men to plot revenge. However, after several unsuccessful attempts, Yongzhen fled. Yongzhen doesn't care about them either. One day, while visiting Longhua Temple with Chai Jiuyun, they suddenly saw rogue Cai molesting women in public. In great anger, Cai was given a good lesson. Cai found Cheng Zimin, the leader of Axe Party, and begged him to avenge himself. Cheng ignored it. Bai Li also used lies to stimulate the process. Cheng Zimin really fell into a trap and set a deadly trap for Bai. Bai Hecheng learned that he often sat in the teahouse in the cave, so he secretly hid the knives, axes and lime. On this day, Ma Yongzhen came naturally. Bai, Cheng and others suddenly sprinkled lime on her eyes while she was unprepared, which made Yongzhen feel pain in her eyes. The thief took the opportunity to attack, and Yongzhen was seriously injured and fell from the upstairs. The thieves dispersed in a hubbub. Yongzhen is afraid that Su Zhen will retaliate after hearing her bad news. Before she died, she repeatedly told Chai Jiuyun to keep a secret. Su Zhen was deeply worried when she saw her brother's delay in coming home. One night, I dreamed that my brother was killed. Su Zhen felt even more uneasy and went to Shanghai alone. After many twists and turns, I finally found Chai Jiuyun and learned the truth about his brother's murder. Su Zhen was heartbroken and vowed to avenge Yongzhen. Su Zhen disguised as a man, found out the whereabouts of white dysentery, that is, bid farewell to Chai Jiuyun and his wife, and left with a knife. Yongzhen's disciples wanted to go with him to avenge Master, but Su Zhen refused tearfully and stabbed her with a dagger for quenching medicine. Bai Li became the first horse dealer after Yong Zhen's death, and I am very proud. One night, the white rabbit had a nightmare and was chased by a ghost. Bai woke up in shock, knowing that he couldn't sleep again, so he got up and went out and passed the gate. Su Zhen suddenly appeared and stabbed Bai Bi to death with a knife. Brother's revenge has been reported, and Su Zhen has no worries in his heart. She looked up at heaven and tears fell from her eyes.

This movie made Zhang Huichong, who is good at martial arts movies, the first martial arts star. I saw his picture in a book about the history of China's martial arts movies.

Ma Yongzhen, Chen Guantai.

Even though Zheng Qiuzheng's film Ma Yongzhen came out as early as 1927, what really made Ma Yongzhen a household name was Ma Yongzhen co-produced by Zhang Che and Hsueh Li Pao 45 years later. At the same time, the film also created the craze of Hong Kong gangster films and the theme mode of "Shanghai hegemony" in the future.

Zhang Che's violent aesthetics, Hsueh Li Pao's hand-held photography, Hong Quan designed by Chia Tang and Liu Jialiang, and Chen Guantai's wonderful performance, which made Ma Yongzhen's action scenes continue to maintain a bloody and tragic visual style. But this time, Zhang Che brought the audience not only a sense shock, but also the story of the film did not repeat the romantic chivalry that Zhang Da was good at. On the contrary, through the protagonist Ma Yongzhen's life track from "success" to "destruction", the audience realized the cruelty of reality and the transformation of human nature.

Unlike the chivalrous heroes in Zhang Che's films, "Ma Yongzhen" is a complex figure full of ambition and selfish desires. Although he was born in poverty, he was chivalrous and competitive and unwilling to bear the burden of humiliation. His belief that he was determined to fight the world with his fists was a turning point in his life. Later, once he became strong, he did everything for himself. Just like the singer (Jing Li) who once admired Ma Yongzhen, he was heartbroken and hit the nail on the head when he saw him become a street fighter: he was no different from those gangsters before! As it happens, Ma Yongzhen continues to climb up ambitiously by collecting protection fees, competing for territory and expanding power. Unfortunately, in the end, he followed in the footsteps of Master Tan. This Jianghu gangster has always had the law of life and death, which is inevitable. ......

From today's point of view, Ma Likong-zhen, a gangster who gradually deteriorated under social pressure, is too familiar with it. However, in those years, "Ma Yongzhen" was a pioneer, and this screen image won wide social sympathy and successfully promoted the rise of gangster films. Chen Guantai, who became famous with Ma Yongzhen, starred in gangster films such as Big Brother Cheng and Ji Cheng Teahouse, becoming the first generation gangster films in Hong Kong. In addition, the significance of Ma Yongzhen lies in making Shili Yangchang the focus of a screen gangster's hegemony, which has inspired the emergence of film and television dramas with the theme of Shanghai Beach. Shaw Company also remake "Ma Yongzhen" on 1997, with Yuan Biao and Takeshi Kaneshiro playing Si Tan and Ma Yongzhen respectively, which is also quite ambitious. ...

Ma Yongzhen made Shanghai Beach a stage for a large number of action movies at that time.

"Great Shanghai" is the stage of the century, which is not only the land of heroes, but also the tomb of heroes. I don't know how many heroes are ups and downs here, and "Ma Yongzhen" is one of them. He came from Shandong province, and with special skills, he came to Shanghai in Shiliyang Field to work hard, work as a coolie and fight bravely. The road was bumpy, which beat back the villain of "One Pot End Spring", seized the territory and abandoned it. He defeated the foreign Hercules in the ring and is famous for the shame of the snow country. Since then, he has become a powerful force in Shanghai. However, after all, the tiger died in the mountains and could not escape the fate of being killed in the Jianghu. Zhang Che was infatuated with the battle of masculinity, and also fell in love with the scene of blood spattering on the battlefield. Finally, Ma Yongzhen was killed by a disorderly axe, and a sharp axe was inserted into him, which pushed the romance of the hero's death to the extreme.

Shanghai in troubled times-Ma Yongzhen

"Great Shanghai" is the stage of the century, which is not only the land of heroes, but also the tomb of heroes. I don't know how many heroes are ups and downs here, and Ma Yongzhen is one of them. He comes from Shandong, and with special skills, he came to Shanghai Shili Foreign Exchange to work hard. Although he worked as a coolie at the bottom of society, he often fought bravely and became a famous figure in Shanghai. After that, he beat back the villain of "One Pot End Spring", seized the territory and abandoned it; He defeated the foreign Hercules in the ring and is famous for the shame of the snow country. After becoming famous, Ma Yongzhen gradually lost the nature of coming to Shanghai, became bossy and rose to be a force in Shanghai. However, after all, the tiger lost his life in the mountains, and he can't escape being killed in the rivers and lakes.

Ma Yongzhen is the representative work of Zhang Che's "violence aesthetics", which created the story mode of the old Shanghai gangster's hegemony and created a fascinating "gangster hero" screen image. Later, Ma Yongzhen became one of the most frequent figures on the screen. Zhang Che is infatuated with the battle of masculinity, and also infatuated with the death scene of blood spattering on the battlefield. There are many tragic and extreme scenes of violence in his works. At the end of the film, Ma Yongzhen was hacked to death by dozens of axes, but he still defeated the enemy and knocked down the restaurant, which pushed the romance of the hero's death to the extreme and brought violence into a surreal mythological realm. Chen Guantai, who won the Southeast Asian Wushu championship, appeared in front of the camera for the first time and became an instant hit. "Love in Zhang Che" will be played by John Chiang as the gangster Si Tan. The film invited the Australian wrestler Maranu, who is deeply loved by TV viewers, to make a guest appearance, adding a lot of gimmicks.

Ma Yongzhen, Bai Biao.

This version is as classic as many Hong Kong TV dramas in the 1980s (especially those in the Republic of China). This film was shot by Hong Kong Asia Television (formerly known as Lee Television) and premiered on1981130. The main actors in the play are: Bai Biao, Wai-Kwok Ng, Li Hanchi, Ma Miner, Cai Qionghui, Li Yanyan, etc. , supervised by He Li.

Bai Biao starred in the eldest brother Ma Yongzhen, who played Liu Jingyi in last year's blockbuster Seven Swords, and Guo Jing played Guo Jing in Louis Koo's version of The Condor Heroes.

Li Hanchi plays Shi Xiufeng, the second brother, and he plays Long Haisheng in Huo Yuanjia, the first Hong Kong drama imported from the mainland in 1980s.

Wai-Kwok Ng plays the third brother, Ma Tianzhu. He played May 14th in Great Britain. He is Liu Xiaoqing's boyfriend.

Ma Miner plays Allen (Ma Suzhen). Cai Qionghui plays the female student Zhu Xuefang. Li Yanyan plays Tan Ying, the sister of Shanghai gangster Si Tan. As far as I know, the actor of Tan Sitong should be (the actor of Grandpa Zhao in Huo). In addition, there are Lu in Huo Qubing, Zhao Zhennan and other prodigal sons in Huo Qubing, and Master Ma.

Synopsis: During the Republic of China, Majiaban, a Shandong troupe, came to Shanghai to make a living. Unexpectedly, Shanghai is a gangster world. Majiaban was repeatedly bullied by gangsters under the gang boss Shao Ba, and his livelihood was difficult. In a theater chaos, Ma Yongzhen saved Zhu Xuefang, a female student who secretly loves Ma Yongzhen.

In a rogue revenge, the junior high school senior was seriously injured and died, and the master also died. Shi Xiufeng, the second brother, left Majiaban in grief to find a new road, and Ma Tianzhu, the third brother, took revenge and killed the gangster and fled. From then on, Ma Jiaban's burden fell on his brother Ma Yongzhen's shoulder. They fought against gangs.

Later, the third brother appeared again It turned out that he took refuge in Tan Si, the boss of another gang, and fell in love with his sister Tan Ying. Ma Jiaban seems to be reborn, but Shao Ba colluded with the patrol room to deal with Tan Si, who was finally killed, and Ma Jiaban was in trouble again.

Zhu Xuefang turned to Ma Jiaban for help because her father wanted to sell her for money. She and Jenny left Shanghai for Wuhan and finally met their second brother, Shi Xiufeng, who became an officer. Later, he was appointed as a special correspondent in Shanghai, so the three returned to Shanghai and the two brothers and sisters were reunited. Jenny decided to marry Zhu Xuefang to Shi Xiufeng.

Shi Xiufeng used his power to help Ma Jiaban deal with gang forces and patrol houses. However, no matter how strong the dragon is, it can't beat the local snake. The battalion chief of the patrol room caught Shi Xiufeng's handle, and Shi Xiufeng was forced to kill his younger brother, Ma Tianzhu, and the prodigal son of Jiangnan who he subdued also killed Tan Ying by mistake. After learning that Ma Tianzhu was killed by Shi Xiufeng, school sister Alan told Ma Yongzhen about it. From then on, the brothers turned against each other, and Ma Jiaban got into trouble again. Zhu Xuefang learned that Shi Xiufeng had also left him.

Later, he was taken away by the police station and shot. Shi Xiufeng, Shi's wife, managed to save him. Shi Xiufeng had to leave Shanghai to get a pardon from the former commander. When he came back, he heard that Ma Yongzhen had been executed. He came to the execution ground and told the story of his journey from white to black, only to find that the dead body was not Ma Yongzhen. It turned out that the captain of the patrol room wanted to use Ma Yongzhen to deal with Shi Xiufeng. On the way of secret escort, he met Shi Xiufeng's checkpoint. Both sides used force. Ma Yongzhen took advantage of the chaos to escape, killed the captain of the patrol room, and indirectly saved Shi Xiufeng, but Ma Yongzhen did not forgive Shi Xiufeng and asked him to hand over the prodigal son of Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, the prodigal son of Jiangnan blinded Ma Yongzhen's eyes with lime powder in the teahouse, while Ma Yongzhen was blind and still fought bravely and killed the prodigal son of Jiangnan. Shi Xiufeng persuaded Ma Yongzhen to let bygones be bygones, but Ma Yongzhen was unmoved, so Shi Xiufeng had to execute him.

Alan changed his name to Ma Suzhen to avenge his brother and third brother, and invited Shi Xiu Feng to Ma Yongzhen's grave. She killed Shi Xiufeng with Xiao Dongbei and others. Later, Ma Jiaban was about to leave Ma Yongzhen's grave when he suddenly saw three little boys begging. Jenny asked, "Do you want to learn drama?" "think!" So Ma Jiaban took three children, towards the distant. (Ma Yongzhen and his other disciples grew up together in a troupe. )

{Story Synopsis}: A train leaves the border of Shandong Province for Shanghai. The train was crowded with fleeing Shandong people, including Ma Yongzhen and his eldest brother Ma Daxiang. When the train approached Shanghai, two gangs of hooligans fought on the train. Ma Yongzhen doesn't like it. He punched and kicked three times, so he put down the fight instead of the police.

One day, Ma Yongzhen saw a luxury carriage parked on the dock. He approached curiously and felt the handlebars to see the quantity. The owner is a bully on the beach named Tan Si. Just then, Tan Si's men saw a smelly coolie actually touching Grandpa Tan's car, so they went forward to drink and scold, and then punched and kicked each other. Of course, Ma Yongzhen refused to give in, so he also fought and knocked down seven or eight people. Grandpa Tan, who was sitting in the car, couldn't hold back.

In the evening, Ma Yongzhen and Ma Daxiang, with the help of their friend Xiao Jiangbei, went to the famous "One-pot Spring" karaoke room to listen to music. Ma Yongzhen fell in love with the singer Jin Lingzi. Boss Fan, one of the four heavenly kings under Yang, another bully in Shanghai, also pestered the karaoke bar owner on a sunny day and wanted to spend the night with him. I didn't come on a sunny day, claiming that I paid Grandpa Tan's "protection fee" and was protected by Grandpa Tan. Boss fan didn't. Boss Fan was ordered to dismantle the illegal site in Si Tan today. When he blinked, his followers began to study gold. However, Ma Yongzhen was very keen. He came out to save Jin Lingzi. At the moment, the "Spring in One Pot" karaoke room is a mess.

Knowing that Boss Fan had been beaten, he not only refused to talk back, but sent a letter to Master Tan, inviting him to have dinner at Qinglian Pavilion. He wants to apologize to Master Tan. Ma Yongzhen was thinking about Jin Lingzi. In a few days, he and Ma Daxiang stripped two suits of foreign devils, put on suits and came to "ones". Jin Lingzi had a good impression on Ma Yongzhen's chivalry, so they met and talked.

The next day, while Ma Yongzhen and his brothers were waiting for the Golden Bell Award on the bridge, the foreign devil stripped naked by Ma Yongzhen came to the hall with Ma Yongzhen and a group of armed policemen to make a statement for him. At this moment, Ma Yongzhen heard two policemen say that Yang Shuang would be in the "Qinglian Pavilion" tonight, and Tan Sitong Ma Yongzhen was surprised. He stole a foreign gun and pushed Ma Daxiang out the door.

In the "Qinglian Pavilion", Yang Shuang's men surrounded Si Tan, but Si Tan just realized that it was too late. Unexpectedly, Ma Yongzhen arrived in time. He rescued Tan Si from the tight encirclement, jumped into a carriage and ran away.

Ma Yongzhen didn't forget Jin Lingzi, so he said goodbye to Tan Sitong and came to "Spring at One Pot". But one sunny day told him that Jin Lingzi had gone and would never come back. Jin Lingzi was actually driven away by sunny days. Ma Yongzhen is very uncomfortable. Singing for Ma Yongzhen on a sunny day. Ma Yongzhen was drunk. When he woke up at night, he found himself lying next to a sunny day.

On a sunny day, Ma Yongzhen was asked to look at the night view of Shanghai outside the window and tell him why everyone had to climb in Shanghai, because only by climbing high can he see the best scenery in Shanghai. She taught Ma Yongzhen not to be sentimental, but to seize the territory and be her own boss.

Ma Yongzhen listened to Sunny Days and robbed banks and brothels in Yang Shuang. The insidious Yang Shuang didn't fight with Ma Yongzhen. He wants Ma Yongzhen to arouse the public indignation of various gangs in Shanghai, and then get rid of Ma Yongzhen with the help of others.

Ma Yongzhen felt that he was addicted to sex, so he lost his temper on sunny days. Ran away on a sunny day, and he chased after it again. On the way, he was ambushed by various gangs on the beach. Ma Yongzhen ran around, unable to escape. At this time, a sunny day appeared in front of him. She picked up an arrow and shot it at Ma Yongzhen. Ma Yongzhen's arrow fell into the river.

Ma Yongzhen is not dead. He was rescued by Ma Daxiang, who had been secretly protecting him, and recovered on the boat. Ma Daxiang found Jin Lingzi and lied to Ma Yongzhen that he had married Jin Lingzi. Ma Yongzhen was very disappointed, but he also sincerely wished his eldest brother and sister-in-law happiness.

Ma Yongzhen, Ma Daxiang and Jin Lingzi had a quiet and happy time. In a blink of an eye, Jin Lingzi's birthday arrived. Ma Daxiang went to the department store to buy a gift for Jin Lingzi, but was seen by people in Yang Shuang. That night, Yang Shuang sent someone to attack Ma Yongzhen's ship, Ma Daxiang and Jin Lingzi were arrested, and Ma Yongzhen managed to escape. Ma Yongzhen had to go to Tan Sitong and borrow several people to save Ma Daxiang and Jin Lingzi.

Tan Si refused, and Ma Yongzhen left angrily. Abiao and others thought Tan Si was too unkind and asked for help. Tans didn't stop him, but hinted that he would help Ma Yongzhen. It turns out that if Tan Sitong didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to explain to the Jianghu.

Here Ma Yongzhen takes people to Yang Shuang's mansion K; Yang Shuang over there is trying to poison many gang leaders to expand his territory in Shanghai, waiting for Ma Yongzhen to trap himself.

A fierce battle is about to begin. ......
