Ma Longtan (1857- 1940), a native of Ma Zhong Village, Qingyun County, Dezhou City, Shandong Province, 1857 was born in a military family in Zhongmazhuang, Qingyun County, Hebei Province. When he was a teenager, Ma Longtan liked riding horses and shooting guns, playing with swords, and had a passion for poetry. Ma Qifeng, his father, was made a general in 1867, and Ma Longwen, his brother, died in April 18 when he suppressed the Nian army of the peasant uprising army. Zong Ai Xin Qiaoluo Zai Chun sympathized with the descendants of the Ma family and succeeded Yun Qiwei in 1876 (equivalent to an instructor). Ma Longtan is full of energy. At the age of 60, he is still riding and patrolling, making rapid progress. Although he was a soldier, he donated money to his hometown twice to edit Qingyun county annals. The villagers all address themselves as "Ma Daren".

After Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing, the national peril intensified. Ma Longtan said: "A gentleman gives his life to serve the country." He led hundreds of people to join Feng's troops. Because of its contribution to the protection of Shenyang Mausoleum and cultural relics, the Qing Emperor specially awarded Ma Longtan Hualing four products and appointed him as the Governor of Liaoyang Tonghua. Guangxu three years, he took over as Yun Qi viceroy. In the early years of the Republic of China, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, awarded the third class, served as commander of the Eastern Front, and was stationed in Fengcheng. Bordering North Korea to the east, the Japanese covet it and it is difficult to negotiate. Ma Longtan is rigid and flexible, with rough and safe borders. Fengcheng has its monument, praising: Fengshan is always there, duck water often flows, and merits and demerits are the same. He has twice donated huge sums of money to promote the revision of Qingyun county annals, and donated money to promote the study in his hometown.

Ma Longtan attaches great importance to honesty. After the "September 18th Incident", Ma Longtan temporarily lived in Siping, and Japanese aggression against northeast China intensified. The Japanese wanted to buy people's hearts with their fame, so they set up the China-Manchuria Autonomous Committee, issued a proclamation without authorization, and appointed Ma Longtan as the chairman.
