Ma Fuxing

A Hui Muslim military commander (1864–1924) from Yunnan who served in his youth among the Kansu Braves, then was posted by Yang Zengxin to Xinjiang and became Titai of Kashgar (1916–1924). His rule there was notorious for its brutality; when Yang grew suspicious of his correspondence, he sent Ma Shaowu, who shot him in 1924 and displayed his body on a cross.
