He does not run for rich families or beg for mercy from subordinates. He only entertained himself with poetry, and his book "Unfinished Destiny" was published and published in the world. Its plot is based on facts, and its ideals are pathos and lingering, sad but not sad; free and easy, gorgeous but not slutty. Those who are passionate will read with more affection, and those who are heartless will read with more affection. They will not be stimulated by violent weapons and become just sad, but they will feel endless thoughts and wonderful thoughts in their hearts. This novel is unique in the world! There is no shortage of wise people, buy it and read it!” Ma Shaoqiao once recalled that he saw a fragment of "Unending Fate" in his hometown. It had no beginning or end, and the middle part was badly damaged. Since then, there has been no trace of this fragment. Hunan People's Publishing House asked him many times about the book and wanted to reprint it. After so many years, it still attracts the attention of the publishing industry, which shows the wide influence of this book.
