Ma Hsin-yeh (Chinese: 馬星野; pinyin: Mǎ Xīngyĕ; Wade–Giles: Mǎ Hsīng-yĕh; September 13, 1909 – March 11, 1991) was born in Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province, and enjoyed a notable career as a pioneering Chinese journalist, educator, publisher, government executive and diplomat. Ma was known as the "King of Journalism" (新聞王), and collectively with his native place compatriots Xie Xia-xun the "Chess King" (謝俠遜; “棋王”) and Su Bu-qing the "Math King" (蘇步青; "數學王"), were known as the "Three Kings of Pingyang"(平陽三王). The Pingyang County Government has also officially named Ma as one of the top-ten most significant cultural-historical figures of the County.
Ma adopted his penname Hsin-yeh (星 xīng 野 yĕ) as his personal name some time following his study abroad at the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
The name incorporates the two characters for "stars" and "plain" from a line in the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu's poem Thoughts When Traveling at Night: "Stars hang low above the wide, flat plain, And up rides the moon as the mighty river flows on" (星垂平野闊,月涌大江流). Years later in 1984 when Ma was head of the Central News Agency, the School awarded him its highest honor, the Missouri Honor Medal for Distinguished Service in Journalism.
