If Brother Ma had not died in the movie "A Better Tomorrow", would he still have become the most classic image of Fa Ge?

It should also become the most classic image. In "A Better Tomorrow" back then, what impressed everyone the most was the friendship between friends played by Chow Yun-fat and Ti Lung in the film, as well as the brotherhood between Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung. In the movie, this sentence is uttered by "Little Ma" played by Chow Yun-fat. Chow Yun-fat also understands this sentence very well, because at that time he was also at a low point in his career and was called box office poison. He was no longer as popular as "Xu Wenqiang" in "Shanghai Bund". There is also what "Brother Hao" said to his younger brother who is a policeman: "Sir, I won't be the big brother for a long time." Actor Ti Lung was also in the same situation at the time - as a popular niche student in the 1970s, he was in the process of transformation bottleneck period. However, "Little Ma" has become the absolute highlight of the film with his "dollar bill lighting cigarettes", "blood-stained maple forest pavilion", "what I lost, I must get it back..." and other scenes.

At this time, it was against this background that "A Better Tomorrow" became a milestone in Hong Kong movies at that time. So much so that every time when the most classic Hong Kong movies are selected, "A Better Tomorrow" ranks first because this movie represents an era and started the era of Hong Kong gunfight movies. At that time, Fa Ge was called "box office poison". Basically every movie he participated in was a loss, so almost no one asked him to make movies. The 40-year-old Ti Lung also resigned from Shaw Brothers, and John Woo was even more disappointed at the box office. Therefore, the three of them were relatively unreliable in people's minds at the time. It was the cooperation of these three men that produced such a dazzling work. .

The gun battle in "Blood-stained Maple Grove" fully illustrates "Brother Xiao Ma's" practical experience and wisdom. After arriving in Taiwan, he did not rush to seek revenge from Xiao Wang, but found Xiao Wang first. His uncle, Boss Wang, was also his and Song Zihao's partner in Taiwan. After finding out the ins and outs of the matter, he confirmed that Xiao Wang was the culprit, and then obtained Xiao Wang's whereabouts through Boss Wang. After "A Better Tomorrow" was released, it quickly became popular throughout Asia. The characters and lines in the movie were often imitated, and many scenes were paid homage to in later movies. "Little Ma" has become an idol in the hearts of young people.
