Ma Yongzhen
Historical Ma Yongzhen
Generally, films and TV programs about Ma Yongzhen, no matter whether it's the early Chen Guantai version, the 1980s TV drama Baek Biao's version, or the Ho Ka King's version, have set their historical backgrounds during the Republican period in the 1920s and 1930s. Even though Takeshi Kaneshiro's "Ma Yongzhen" (馬永貞) in 1997 stated at the beginning of the movie that "in the late Qing Dynasty in 1898, when there was a severe drought in Shandong, many refugees flooded into Shanghai ......", the characters in the movie were not dressed up in the Qing Dynasty, and for the sake of gimmickry, I dare to say that there were quite a lot of modern styles in the movie. I checked a lot of information, finally learned that these films and TV put Ma Yongzhen real life era are pushed back several decades.
Shanghai local records of Ma Yongzhen information should be considered more authoritative, I put the Shanghai Local Records Office of the online information excerpts are as follows:
Huangpu District Records of the celebrity biography of Ma Yongzhen (? ~ 1879)
Ma Yongzhen, Hui nationality, Shandong Jining people. Boxer at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Once in the territory of Happy Valley (now People's Square and People's Park) horse racing, riding skills over foreign knights, sensational Shanghai. Qing Guangxu five years (April 13, 1879), in Nanjing Road, "a hole in the sky" teahouse (the original site of today's Nanjing East Road, Jinhua Road) was assassinated by thugs, died of wounds.
Huangpu District Chronicle Guangxu five years (1879)
March 22 (April 13) Shandong boxer Ma Yongzhen (Hui) in Nanjing Road, a hole in the sky teahouse tea, by the horse trader Guzhongxi gathered thugs first with lime powder on the face, and then cut with a knife. That night, died of his injuries.
So it seems that the historical Ma Yongzhen may have pigtails.
Shandong Ma Yongzhen
Ma Yongzhen to the teahouse to drink tea in 1879 was assassinated, hate Shanghai Bund killed, the legend about him will be spread in folklore.
China is a country with a culture of chivalry, and entertainers naturally attached many stories to such a man with a good martial arts skill. In the history of Chinese martial arts movies, "Shandong Ma Yongzhen" in 1927 was one of the earliest martial arts movies, and in the mid-1930s there was a tin opera "Shandong Ma Yongzhen" in the Shanghai Theater Hall.

Bai was infuriated, but he was afraid of Yongzhen's bravery and did not dare to take action easily. One day, Chai Jiuyun invited Ma Yongzhen to a banquet at a prostitute's house, and Yongzhen was caught up in the flowers and gradually felt his heart fluttering. Suddenly, he remembers Suzhen's parting words and wakes up with a start. Seeing that the horse trader only knows how to flatter Ma Yongzhen, Bai Laidi is afraid of jeopardizing his own livelihood, so he gathers his gang to conspire to take revenge. However, several attempts failed and he was beaten by Yongzhen and fled. However, Yongzhen did not take them seriously. One day, Ma Yongzhen and Chai Jiuyun went to visit Longhua Temple, and suddenly saw the scoundrel Cai Botang molesting women in public. Ma Yongzhen was furious and gave Cai Botang a hard time. Cai Po-Tang finds Cheng Zi-Min, the leader of the Axe Gang, and begs him to avenge his death. Cheng ignores him. White Dysentery then provoked Cheng with falsehoods, and Cheng Zimin fell for the trick, and together with Bai, they set up a poisonous plan. Bai and Cheng realized that Ma Yongzhen often went to a teahouse in a cave, so they stole the knife and axe and hid the lime there. On this day, Ma Yongzhen arrived.

All the thieves took the opportunity to attack, Yongzhen was seriously injured from the upper floors fell down the stairs. The thieves dispersed.

When Suzhen sees her brother's delayed return, she is y worried. One night, she dreamt that her brother had been killed. Soojung feels even more uneasy and goes to Shanghai alone. After a lot of troubles, she finally finds Chai Jiuyun and learns the truth about her brother's murder. Soo Ching is devastated and swears to avenge Yongzhen's death. Suzhen disguises herself as a man and finds out the whereabouts of White Dysentery. She says goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Chai Jiuyun and goes away with a sword. Yongzhen's disciples want to go with her to avenge her master's death, but Suzhen declines with tears in her eyes and goes alone, holding a dagger with poison in it. Since the death of Yongzhen, White Dysentery has become the head of the horse traders again, and he is very proud of himself. One night, Bai has a nightmare that he is being chased by a ghost.

When he passes through the city gate, Suzhen suddenly appears and stabs Bai Laidi to death with a knife. With her brother's revenge avenged, Suzhen has no more worries in her heart and looks up to the sky, weeping.
This film made Zhang Huichong, who specialized in martial arts fight films, the first martial arts star. I saw his picture in a book on the history of Chinese martial arts movies.
Chen Guantai's "Ma Yongzhen"
Even though the movie "Ma Yongzhen in Shandong", written by Zheng Zhengqiu, came out as early as 1927, it was the movie "Ma Yongzhen", co-directed by Chang Cheh and Bao Xuelei, which was made famous 45 years later, that also started the development of Hong Kong's gangster scene. The movie also pioneered the Hong Kong gangster movie craze and the "Shanghai Bund" theme pattern.
The violent aesthetics of Chang Cheh's style, Bao Xue Li's hand-held cinematography, Tang Jia and Liu Jialiang's design of the Hung Gar fights, plus the wonderful performance of the first time Southeast Asian free fighting champion Chen Guan Tai, make the action scenes of "Ma Yongzhen" continue to maintain the visual style of the hard bridge, bloody and grueling. However, what Chang Cheh brings to the audience this time is not only sensory shock, the story of the film does not repeat the romantic chivalry that director Chang specializes in, but on the contrary, it is through the life trajectory of the protagonist, Ma Yongzhen, from "making a name for himself" to "going to ruin", which makes the viewer experience the cruelty of reality and the transformation of human nature. The movie is a great example of the cruelty of reality and the metamorphosis of human nature.
Unlike the chivalrous heroes in Chang Cheh's previous films, Ma Yongzhen is a complex character full of ambition and selfishness. Although he came from a poor background, he was also very chivalrous and a good fighter, but he was not willing to endure humiliation, and the belief that he wanted to rely on his fists to fight the world was the turning point of his life, and once he became a powerful man, everything he did was for himself. As the singer (Jing Li), who once adored Ma Yongzhen, sees him as a street bully, she is heartbroken and pinpoints: he is no different from the gangsters before him! The truth is really so, collecting protection money, fighting for territory, expanding their power, Ma Yongzhen ambitious continue to climb up, but unfortunately, ultimately also step Tan four masters (JiangDaWei played) dust, it is difficult to escape this jianghu gangs have always been in the law of life and death of the non-retreating ......
If you look at it from today's point of view, a gangster like Ma Yongzhen, who has gradually deteriorated under the pressure of society, is all too familiar. But back in the day, "Ma Yongzhen" was the first of its kind, a screen image that won widespread social sympathy while also leading to the rise of gangster films. With "Ma Yongzhen" became famous Chan Kwun Tai, then starred in "Big Brother", "Shing Kee Tea House" and other gangster films, and became the first generation of Hong Kong gangster film "big brother". In addition, the significance of "Ma Yongzhen" also lies in the fact that it made the "Ten Miles of Ocean Park" become a centralized place for gangster rivalry on the silver screen, which inspired the subsequent emergence of "Shanghai Bund" themed films and dramas that later became popular. Shaw Brothers also remade "Ma Yongzhen" in 1997, by Yuan Biao, Takeshi Kaneshiro, respectively, to replace Jiang David, Chen Guantai played two Shanghai Bund "big brother" Tan Si and Ma Yongzhen, but also quite ambitious momentum ......

Shantung Boxer, The (1972)
Ma Yongzhen made the Shanghai Bund the stage for a large number of action movies at the time. I don't know how many heroes and heroines have risen and fallen here, and "Ma Yongzhen" is one of them. He came from Shandong, with great skills, and came to Shanghai to work as a laborer, to be chivalrous, to fight for justice, to fight against injustice, to beat away the villains of "A Pot of Spring", to take over the territory, and to abandon it. In the ring, he defeated the foreigner Hercules, in order to snow the shame of the country, and gained great fame. Since then, they have become a powerful gang in Shanghai. However, the tiger eventually lost his life on the mountain, and he could not escape the fate of the people in the world, the word "profit" is the head, and he was killed. Chang Cheh's fascination with masculine martial arts, but also love the blood splattered sand scene of death, and finally Ma Yongzhen was ambushed, died under the axe, the body inserted with a sharp axe, the romance of the hero's death pushed to the extreme.
Shanghai Bund - Ma Yongzhen
Great Shanghai is the stage of the century, the land of heroes and the mound of heroes. Many heroes have risen and fallen here, and Ma Yongzhen is one of them. He came from Shandong, with great skills, came to Shanghai to fight, although the bottom of the society to do hard labor, but often chivalrous, the road to justice, and gradually become a well-known figure in Shanghai Bund. Thereafter, he beat away the villains of "One Pot Spring", seized the territory and abandoned it. In the ring, he defeated the foreigner Hercules to wipe out the shame of his countrymen and gained a great reputation. After gaining fame, Ma Yongzhen gradually lost his original nature when he first arrived in Shanghai, and began to become domineering, and rose to become a powerful gang in Shanghai. However, the tiger eventually lost the mountain, he could not escape the people in the world, the word of profit, the fate of the tragic killings ......
"Ma Yongzhen" is Zhang Che "violent aesthetics" masterpiece, the first to open the old Shanghai Bund gangster rivalry story mode, but also shaped a fascinating "mob heroes" screen image, and then Ma Yongzhen has become the most frequent screen and screen appearance. Since then, Ma Yongzhen has become one of the most frequently appearing characters on screen and television. Chang Cheh was obsessed with masculine martial arts, and he also loved bloodshed and death, and many of his works contain scenes of extreme violence. The scene at the end of this movie, in which Ma Yongzhen is ambushed and struck by dozens of axes, but still overcomes the strongest enemy and pushes down the restaurant, pushes the romance of the hero's death to the extreme, and also brings the violence into a surreal and mythical realm. Chan Kwun Tai, a former champion of the Southeast Asian Martial Arts Competition, made his debut in the movie and became an instant hit, while Chang Cheh's favorite, Jiang Da Wei, played the gangster Tan Si with great charisma. The movie also features a cameo appearance by popular Australian wrestler Marlene Marino, adding to the gimmickry.
Bai Biao's version of Ma Yongzhen
