Introduction “I don’t care if the cat is black or white, I just want it to kill the mice.” – Deng Xiaoping. Deng Xiaoping has been the individual with the most impact on China since the 1970’s. Along with Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, he is looked at as one of the key figures in evolution of communism in China. Deng Xiaoping will be remembered as a national hero, but this was not always the case. The real story of Deng includes the fact that, on more than one occasion, his peers ostracized him. During his lifetime he has been a part of the many changes in China throughout the twentieth century.
He was by Mao Zedong’s side through all of the struggles of the Chinese Communist Party; battling with Chiang Kai-she and the Guomindang over and over, and surviving Mao in order to change China and enter a new era. His most recent accomplishments, those being of economic reform and opening China more and more to the West, an important step in this day and age, may have been his greatest. His life has been a paradoxical one of ease and struggle, but as they say, that goes with the territory. The purpose of this essay is twofold.
It is a means to reflect upon the accomplishments and failures of a man who has influenced today’s China; and to present it all in an interesting, yet refreshingly honest way. I will look at three aspects of Deng Xiaoping’s life: First, the story of his youth and family, from when he was born until his return from France and Moscow, 1927. Second, a look at his beginnings in the Chinese Communist Party from 1927 to 1949, its struggle, and his rise. And finally, a look at his recent accomplishments and failures and what they have done for the People’s Republic of China.

The Young Deng: 1904-1927 Deng Xiaoping was born on August 22 nd, 1904, in Pai fang, a village in Sichuan province near the town of Guang ” an. His name at birth was Deng Xixian, which he subsequently changed when he became a young revolutionary. His father, Deng Wending, was a small landowner who has been described as energetic, sanguine, and gregarious. His mother, Dan Shi deng, was the second wife of Deng’s father. Deng himself was the second child borne of his mother, and he was the eldest son. Deng’s family roots are quite interesting in themselves.
His ancestors had moved to Sichuan from the south some 200 years before Deng’s birth. His ancestors were Hakka, or Hill People, the same as another notoriously famous person in Chinese history, Hong Xiu quan, the leader of the Taiping Rebellion. However, the family had shaken their Hakka roots well before the time of Deng’s birth. Another ancestor, Deng Shim in, held a high rank under Qian long, who’s name you might remember in relation to the Opium Wars. His father was a member of the Society of Elder Brothers, one of the oldest and strongest of Chinese secret societies and he also was a key member of the Faith of the Five Brothers, a Taoist-Buddhist society. Through these connections, Yang Sen, a local warlord, gave him a prominent military post in the area.
It was Yang Sen and Deng Wei ming that decided that young Deng Xiaoping go study in France. Deng arrived in France in 1920, just barely two years after the First World War. While it was easy for the wealthy Chinese to study in France, less well off people had to find employment in order to study. Work, however, was not easy to find and so Deng went through a variety of unskilled labour positions while he went to school where he learned about a variety of things, including communism. Deng rose quickly through the ranks of Chinese Communism in France.
In 1923, he was elected leader of the Communist Youth Party of China, and in 1924 he was elected as a member-at-large of the Chinese Communist Party in Europe. He also worked among the Guomindang, the Chinese Nationalist Party as a supervisory delegate in 1926. In January of 1926, Deng Xiaoping left for Russia. If Deng wanted to amount to anything in the Chinese Communist Party, he had to study in the Soviet Union.

Chinese Education There are many different approaches to studying education as whole as well as studying political education, which used to be a permanent part of education in China, each of which yields interesting insights into the changes in thought and consciousness arising in the process of rapid social and economic change over the last decade. Stanley Rosen's work has opened up to us the ...
He was supposed to have stayed twenty-four months, but instead stayed and studied for only eight months. Deng Xiaoping returned to China on August 17 th, 1926 on the Trans-Siberian Railway, in the company of General Feng Yu xiang, the ‘Christian General’, and a future superior of Deng’s. Deng and the CCP: 1927-1949 When Deng returned to China he quickly rose in the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party. General Feng immediately named young Deng, also known now as the ‘Little Cannon’ for his fiery temperament, as the political officer of his United National Army’s Seventh Corps. Deng would hold this position, at varying levels, for the next twenty-three years. However, later that year, Feng dumped the communists, in order to become a member of the now anti-Communist Guomindang, led by Chiang Kai-she.
This began Deng Xixian’s revolutionary career, who, by now, had changed his name to Deng Xiaoping. Deng had now fled the GMD to Guangxi, where the governor, though family ties, could sympathize with the Communists. In his time in Guangxi, Deng Xiaoping led two uprisings, the Bose Uprising, which he started with weaponry and defected soldiers from the garrison at Nanning, and the Long zhou Uprising. Then the Communists’ plans changed, albeit foolishly.
Deng was ordered to attack large cities in neighbouring provinces. The rationale for this was that the Communist leader, Li Lis an, thought that the toppling of a few more major cities would allow the Communists the victory they were looking for. This, obviously, did not happen, as the poor Communist armies did not have the resources necessary in order to battle the GMD armies, and the armies of the Communists were virtually annihilated. Deng returned to Shanghai with the news, only to find out that the power had shifted again. The Bolsheviks, now in power of the CCP, promoted Deng to the role of Party Secretary for the city of Rui jin. Then they moved him to Hui chang as District Secretary.
Finally, Deng received an important post. Due to the endorsement of Zhou Enlai, he became a First Party Secretary of Guangxi province. But this did not last long for Deng Xiaoping, who had fallen victim to attacks by rival Communists, and was then demoted to the propaganda department. However, Deng would rise again, and he did. After being released from jail, where he was put for refusing to apologize to his.
