In 60, when Emperor Ming honored those who had served his father well by painting their portraits on a palace tower, Deng's portrait was placed in the first position.

Deng's vision for economic success and a new socialist market model became entrenched in the Party constitution in 1997 as Deng Xiaoping Theory.

His mother, surnamed Dan, died early in Deng's life, leaving Deng, his three brothers and three sisters.

Liu was also very close to Deng Xiaoping as his modernization efforts were very much in keeping with Deng's national policies.

Zhao Ziyang later wrote in his autobiography that, although Deng had stated many of these sentiments in a private conversation with Li Peng shortly before the editorial was written, Li had these comments disseminated to Party members and published as the editorial without Deng's knowledge or consent.

Perhaps realizing that opposition to capitalism would be poorly received by Deng and other Party elders, Li publicly supported Deng's economic reforms.

Deng's return set the scene for a protracted factional struggle between the radical Gang of Four and moderates led by Zhou and Deng.

By late 1975 however, Mao saw that Deng's economic restructuring might negate the legacy of the Cultural Revolution, and launched a campaign to oppose " rehabilitating the case for the rightists ", alluding to Deng as the country's foremost " rightist ".

On October 10, Deng Xiaoping personally wrote a letter to Hua asking to be transferred back to state and party affairs ; party elders also called for Deng's return.

One of the main issues that government censors identified was the concern that details of Hu's relationship with Deng Xiaoping ( especially details of Hu's removal from power after resisting orders to crack down on student demonstrators in 1987 ) would reflect poorly on Deng's legacy.

Although Deng Xiaoping was Zhao's only firm supporter among the Party elders, Deng's support was sufficient to protect Zhao throughout Zhao's career.

Under Deng Xiaoping, important decisions were always taken in Deng's home with a caucus of eight senior party cadres, called " Eight Elders ".

Yang had a close friendship with Deng and shared many of Deng's long-term economic goals, but was far less enthusiastic about the agenda of political liberalization promoted by other senior leaders favoured by Deng, including Hu Yaobang, Zhao Ziyang, Wan Li, and Hu Qili.

He was much less enthusiastic about the market than Deng Xiaoping and Deng's younger colleagues.

While Chen became the moral leader of the conservative opposition to Deng Xiaoping, he did not challenge Deng's personal primacy as head of regime.

Chen's criticism of the Deng's economic reforms was influential within the Communist Party, and was reflected in the policies of China's leaders after Deng.

When Lü Meng was 15 or 16, he would often follow Deng Dang in his expeditions against the Shanyue secretly against Deng's wishes.

He supported Deng in the power struggle against Mao ’ s widow, Jiang Qing, and her Gang of Four, and also advocated Deng's policy of reforming and opening up China to the outside world, a policy that Liu himself had practiced in the Academy decades ago.

Liu and Deng's relationship grew strong only after the communist takeover because both were discontent with Mao Zedong's disastrous policy such as Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution: As Liu was persecuted in the late 1950s, Deng showed his support to Liu, as the latter was making rounds of analyses and apologies for the so-called dogmatism and empiricism.

Similarly, Liu showed his support to Deng for Deng's economic policy in the early 1960s to rescue Chinese economy.

Liu and Deng's relationship was greatly exaggerated by the Chinese general populace as a way to protest Mao Zedong's disastrous Cultural Revolution: In 1972, shortly after the death of Chinese Field Marshal Chen Yi, Liu told his family that after his death, he wanted his funeral to be held by Deng, and his eulogy to be done by Deng, and this was when Deng was still under house arrest and Liu did so to show his support.

As noted above, Emperor Wen greatly favored Deng Tong, for no particular apparent reason, and he gave Deng much honor and wealth despite Deng's apparent lack of ability.

Deng's first wife, one of his schoolmates from Moscow, died when she was 24, a few days after giving birth to Deng's first child, a baby girl, who also died.

In Deng's day, support of radical Maoism was regarded as a form of " left deviationism " and being based on a cult of personality, although these ' errors ' are officially attributed to the Gang of Four rather than to Mao himself.

Jiang Qing was especially paranoid of Deng's influence on national affairs, whereas she considered Hua Guofeng a mere nuisance.

Deng's belief, however, stipulated that the only solution to keeping the legitimacy of Communist rule over China was to continue the drive for modernization and economic reform, and therefore placed himself at odds with Jiang.

During Deng's southern tours, he subtly suggested that the pace of reform was not fast enough, and the " central leadership " ( i. e. Jiang ) had most responsibility.

It was a huge step to take in the realization of Deng's " Socialism with Chinese characteristics ".

This argument was decisively resolved in Deng's favor in late 1978, which is generally taken as the start of the era of Chinese economic reform.

It was rumored that the Gang of Four had become apprehensive of Deng's influence and thus attempted his removal.

In 121, Consort Song's grandson Emperor An of Han assumed power after Empress Deng's death and Cai was ordered to report to prison.

His third and final selection, Jiang Zemin, won Deng's continued, although ambiguous backing and was the only General Secretary in Communist Chinese history to voluntarily leave his post when his term ended.

One of Deng's first political goals was to rehabilitate Party members who had been condemned and persecuted during the Cultural Revolution.

Yang's family benefited from Deng's economic reforms, and he was able to promote his children to important posts in several state-owned monopolies that the Chinese government founded to promote economic growth.

Chen was not, in principle, opposed to the scope of Deng's reforms: China's economic policy had effectively frozen consumer prices for decades, to the point that prices in China no longer had much relationship to the relative value of resources, goods, or services.

The immediate consequence of Deng's price reform was a sudden and massive inflation, unprecedented in the experience of the younger generation and particularly frightening to older folks who could still remember the rampant inflation in the last years of the Nationalist regime.

Deng's ancestors can be traced back to Meixian County in Guangdong Province, a prominent ancestral area for the Hakka people, and had been settled in Sichuan for several generations.

Deng's speech also stated that Mao's decision in 1959, which vilified Peng as the leader of an " anti-Party clique ", had been " entirely wrong ", and that it had " undermined intra-Party democracy ".

This, coupled with later references by officials trying to persuade Emperor Ai against giving his male lover Dong Xian too much authority — during which those officials analogized Dong's position to Deng's — has led to speculation that Emperor Wen had a homosexual relationship with Deng.

Furthermore, by the mid-1990s most of the benefits of Deng's reforms, particularly in agriculture, had run their course ; rural incomes had become stagnant, leaving Deng's successors in search of new means to boost economic growth in rural areas, or else risk a massive social implosion.

The agreement reverting control had applied Deng's theory of One Country, Two Systems.

He joined the ranks of a small group of other senior officials of Deng's generation who Deng had returned to government known as the " Eight Immortals ".

Under his staff members ' suggestion, Sun sent troops to catch Deng's departing envoy, but Zhang Yi had already realized what Sun would do after observing his attitude on the banquet, and thus he and Deng Zhi quickly left Eastern Wu by speeding up their journey, and made back to Shu Han just one day ahead of Sun Quan's troops sent after them.

After Wang's defeat, it was at Deng's suggestion that Liu, who had decided to break away from Emperor Gengshi by that point, entrusted his base of the He ' nei ( 河內, modern northern Henan north of the Yellow River ) region to Kou Xun ( 寇恂 ) -- a key suggestion since Kou was an able administrator who turned He ' nei into a wealthy territory capable of supplying Liu's subsequent campaigns.
