At the end of Qing Dynasty, China was heading for a stormy period, and people who were worried about the country and people emerged one after another. They either pay silently, or shout loudly, or die for their country. They have never been overwhelmed by history and never forgotten by the people. Their stories have been passed down for a hundred years. One of the most touching is the horse. Just in case, he sacrificed his life for a hundred years and the well-being and happiness of future generations. It was his greatest regret that he failed to meet the dark dawn.

Ma's parents are Catholic. When he was a teenager, his ambition was to become a priest. 12 years old, from Zhenjiang to Shanghai, studying at Xuhui University. He studied in this French-founded college for 18 years, made a profound study of eastern and western philosophy, and mastered astronomy, mathematics, religion and other disciplines. The more he learns, the more he doubts religious theory, and all kinds of discrimination and causal cycles around him are overthrowing his piety.

1876, famine broke out in Ding Wu, and countless people starved to death, and more than one million people died in North China 1000. People scramble for food crazily, and cannibalism is common. Ma was deeply saddened by what happened and raised 2,200 pieces of silver to save people, but the church imprisoned him for it. Ma Xiang Bo was so resentful and disappointed in the religion he believed in that he gave up self-study.

Ma cares about the country and the people and is determined to find a way to save the country and the people. At that time, his younger brother Ma Jianzhong was in charge of diplomatic work under Li Hongzhang, and Ma Xiang Bo met Li Hongzhang through his younger brother's introduction. At that time, Li Hongzhang was carrying out the Westernization Movement, hoping to realize the national industrial reform, and he admired horses very much, so he was invited to be an official. Ma became Li Hongzhang's affairs officer, translating materials for him, accompanying him to participate in national negotiations and raising funds. Ma was very excited at the thought that the country was about to usher in a new look and worked overtime.

Unfortunately, the good wishes soon fell through. China was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the little achievements that had been saved were wiped out. "treaty of shimonoseki" made Li Hongzhang bear the eternal stigma. Although Ma worked hard consciously, he was very ashamed of his poor performance. Shortly after Ma Xiang Bo's mother died, he refused to forgive him because he quit teaching and died. His brother worked hard and died in the line of duty. Ma was heartbroken, but at this time he also clearly realized that only education can save the country and survive, so he began to raise funds to run schools.

Through his contact with Catholicism, he proposed to donate all 3000 mu of land in his family to the church, and the church supported him to build a school combining Chinese and Western. Ma's wife was very angry with him and took her eldest son back to her hometown. As a result, she was in distress on the way and both of them were killed. This was undoubtedly a great blow to Ma Xiang Bo, but he still insisted on making a deal with the church.

The church refused to accept the land, so Ma accepted Cai Yuanpei's invitation and began to teach Latin privately, and persuaded Cai Yuanpei to find a group of young people to learn from him. After these 24 students finished their studies, Ma became famous and more and more students signed up. The church finally found a place for him to run a school.

Ma Xiang Bo has high hopes for the school and named it Aurora, which means that the sun rises in the east and has a bright future. He put forward the aim of academic independence, freedom of thought, regardless of status, and recruiting talents. There is one reason? Yu Youren, wanted for anti-poetry. Yu Youren later became the first batch of national party member, and was an important advocate of opening higher education in the Republic of China. Mr. Yu Youren has great respect for Mr. Ma. He and Mr. Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University, inherited some academic ideas from Mr. Ma.

The students of Aurora University did not pray, which caused condemnation from the church. The church put Ma Xiang Bo under house arrest to isolate him from the world. Yu Youren dropped out of school with other students and went to the hospital to cry to Ma. Even after school, everyone will not give up studying. The horse burst into tears and was heartbroken. Finally, he decided to exchange all his wealth for the freedom of the French church and came out with his students.

1905, Yan Fu and other celebrities sponsored Ma to run a school. They came to the vacant Wusong prefect's office to re-establish the university and named it Fudan, symbolizing the revival of Sinian and China. Ma's second son entered Fudan University to teach fine arts, but unfortunately he died soon, leaving only Nianfang 18' s wife and a newborn daughter.

In addition to the president of Fudan University, Ma has held many important positions, such as the mayor of Nanjing and government officials, but he is selfless to the people. There is no money at home, and life is very embarrassing. Yu Youren raised 10000 yuan for her to support her granddaughter, but Ma used the money to set up the first girls' school in China.

Ma, 9 1 year-old, was in poor health, but as soon as he heard that the September 18th Incident broke out, he became anxious. He began to write couplets and write birthday words to sell money, earning 654.38 million yuan, all of which were donated to the battlefield. Ma was honest and clean all his life, selfless dedication, for the country and the people, and praised by the world. 1939 On his centenary birthday, the government of the Republic of China and various organs in Yan 'an sent blessings in succession, praising him as the light of the country.

Ma looked at the devastated and broken country and said sadly, The country is uncertain and the people are still suffering. There is nothing I can do except live in a foreign country and regret that I have no merit and enjoy some longevity in vain. ? Birthday gifts received are given to officers and soldiers where the sick and wounded are given.

In the last few days of my life, Ma Xiang Bo still couldn't let go of her country. Looking back on a hundred years of wind and rain, she cried like a child. I am a dog. I've been barking for a hundred years and I haven't been able to wake China? . In the same year1October, 1 1, the old man who devoted his life to the country and education died with anxiety about his home country.

Ma accompanied China through the most difficult and darkest century, completely ignoring the future of himself and his family without reservation, and exhausted every drop of effort for the dark dawn.

It's a pity that he didn't see the moment of light arrival, did he? Recover Sinian and China? The realization of the dream failed to see Fudan students go out of school again and again to create a beautiful and brilliant country. He is not a dog, but a gentle and heartless soldier. His horn awakened China, and his thoughts will remain in the hearts of future generations forever.
