Ma Bufang

thumb|Ma Bufang Ma Bufang (馬步芳) (1903–1975), a Hui, was born in Linxia, Gansu, China. He was named the military governor of Qinghai during the Republic of China and was a member of the Kuomintang party. About Ma Bufang In the past, the Mongols and Tibetans were divided as lords and slaves, but the two chairmen [Ma Qi and Ma Bufang], insisting on the principle of equality of all nationalities in our country, corrected the absurdity and astutely reformed it, which is really a perceptive measure greatly significant for the frontiers. Better still, in September when cattle and sheep are plump, people cheerful, making the lake worship ritual is really a celebration, analagous to the Mid-Autumn Festival in agricultural society, celebrating the harvest. The nomadic nationalities can now all rejoice without division in land and region. http://books.google.com/books?id=g3C2B9oXVbQC&pg=PA54&lpg=PA54&dq=ma+bufang+genocidal+golog&source=bl&ots=5y4cjM9Y1_&sig=hNOuP0tY5081BGCQBo88uA_asEo&hl=en&ei=AgAYTLadL4KclgecgYnuCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBIQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=but%20the%20two%20chairmen&f=false Dilemmas The Mongols at China's edge: history and the politics of national unity Uradyn Erden Bulag 2002 Rowman & Littlefield 55 0742511448 2010-6-28 External links Category:Muslims Category:1903 births Category:1975 deaths Category:Military leaders from China Category:Anti-communists Category:Socialists Category:Ambassadors of China
