First, refuse to be a university professor.
Ma Yifu rejected Cai Yuanpei's telegram inviting him to teach in Peking University, thinking that modern university education at that time should not be so one-sided. Learning knowledge is about the mind, not the way people advocated at that time to seek success for employment. Ma Yifu's missionary thought pays attention to students' understanding quality of mind and heaven, rather than their one-sided ability to deal with things. This is also the special difference between Ma Yifu and some scholars at that time in literary attainments. His emphasis on justice and reason is a deeper study of Chinese studies.
Second, be affectionate and single-minded in love.
He is not only academic, but also faithful to love. Because both parents are well educated and influenced by new ideas, Ma Yifu has lived in this family since childhood, and naturally has a strong understanding and perception of new things. This is also the influence of family background, and he stood on a higher level after becoming a monk. With such a potential stock, naturally many people pay attention to him. In particular, Tang Shouqian, a businessman who didn't go with the flow and eventually became a famous industrialist, took a fancy to the future development of Ma Yifu and married his daughter. The married life of husband and wife is very harmonious, although they all say that they get together less and leave more, but their feelings are very good. Unfortunately, after only three years, his wife died of illness, while Ma Yifu, in her prime, decided not to marry for life. No matter how powerful he is and how many beautiful women he has met, he still hasn't wavered in his determination. He has been guarding that initial promise all his life. This is also an affectionate man.
