Ma Wanfu supported the Dungan revolt (1895–1896) against the Qing dynasty, along with Ma Dahan and Ma Yonglin, but the rebellion was crushed by Chinese Muslim Hui forces led by Dong Fuxiang, Ma Anliang, Ma Fuxiang, Ma Fulu and Ma Guoliang. Ma Wanfu surrendered, betraying the fellow Dongxiang rebel leader Ma Dahan.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=90CN0vtxdY0C&pg=PA259|title=Familiar strangers: a history of Muslims in Northwest China|author=Jonathan Neaman Lipman|year=2004|publisher=University of Washington Press|location=Seattle|page=168|isbn=0-295-97644-6|accessdate=28 June 2010}}{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hUEswLE4SWUC|title=China's Muslim Hui community: migration, settlement and sects|author=Michael Dillon|year=1999|publisher=Curzon Press|location=Richmond|page=102|isbn=0-7007-1026-4}}
